Whether you’re heading to a beach house, backyard BBQ, or simply soaking up the last bits of summer sun, Labor Day weekend is the perfect excuse to dress your patriotic best. Think breezy dresses, coastal knits, and just the right amount of red, white, and blue. Here’s what we’re packing (and wearing) for a long weekend in style—featuring star pieces from The Lucky Knot.

Stripes, Always

Kick off your weekend in the Sail to Sable Roll Neck Striped Sweater – Navy & White. Nautical and classic, this sweater is your go-to for early morning coffee runs or evening boat rides. Pair with white jeans or denim shorts for that crisp, coastal look.

Need a day-to-night option? The Sail to Sable Cinched Waist Midi Dress – Blue & White Stripe is effortlessly flattering and perfect for whatever plans pop up. Add sandals and a bold lip, and you’re ready. 

Stars, Stripes, & Sweaters

Labor Day wouldn’t be complete without flag sweaters—and this year, we’re spoiled for choice:

• The Duffield Lane Flag Sweater – White is a fresh, sporty take that looks great over a collared shirt or thrown over your shoulders.

• Prefer a softer hue? Go with the Duffield Lane Flag Sweater – Light Blue for a pastel take on patriotism.

• For something bold and classic, you’ll love the Sail to Sable Flag Intarsia Sweater – Navy. It’s striking and chic—just add white denim and a topknot.

Red, White, and Cute

Looking for an easy outfit that screams holiday weekend? The Duffield Lane Opal Dress – Navy Flags is a playful, festive piece with just the right amount of fun. It’s comfortable enough for all-day wear but polished enough for hosting.

The Duffield Lane Eileen Dress – Royal Navy brings a refined feel to the weekend lineup—perfect for a dressier dinner or sunset cocktails.

And if you’re craving something with a side of New England flair, the Gretchen Scott Lobster Soup Dress – Navy is equal parts fun and flirty. You’ll be the talk of the clambake.

Don’t Forget a Coastal Layer

When the sun sets, reach for the Pink Pineapple Anchor Sweater – Navy. It’s nautical, timeless, and pairs well with white denim, shorts, or even thrown over a dress.
