Fashion Flavor: What To Wear For Juneteenth Celebrations And Why It's Important To Celebrate!

Written By Tori J Jones

Hey Ya’ll! It’s Fashion Friday and we are getting ready to celebrate Juneteenth! If you didn’t know my family started celebrating Juneteenth years ago and now its a Holiday Observed in the United States. If you didn’t know Juneteenth is also known historically as Emancipation Day or Juneteenth Independence, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African -Americans. For those not familiar, while the Emancipation Proclamation abolishing slavery was issued in 1863, the news did not reach enslaved African Americans living in Texas for two years. Upon hearing the news of their emancipation, celebration erupted. That celebration continued each year that followed and spread throughout the United States. So everybody of all races join me in celebrating freedom for all!!

Here are some ideas for you to wear during Juneteenth Celebrations! One note is you can wear red because “Red stands for of course the blood that was shed on the pathway to freedom,”.

Style Tip: Wear a 2 Piece Lounge Set. This can be worn closed or even open for a way to layer in the color red. For our celebrations, I always want to be cool, comfortable but chic. A maxi dress would also work.
