Independence Day weekend brings many things to look forward to: beer, fireworks, innumerable red-, white-, and blue-colored desserts, and also some of the tackiest sartorial choices of the year. It’s hard to make overt patriotism look tasteful, but that doesn’t seem to dissuade anyone from trying.

In honor of the anniversary of our country’s independence, we present you with 25 celebrities making very patriotic styling choices.
