July 4th is almost here, and we love celebrating independence here at TallSlim. Along with all the festivities, you might have a lot to prepare!
Thankfully, we got you covered, tall guys. Whether you're a foodie, pyrotechnic, or simple guy who enjoys a summer cocktail, we've collected everything you need to know for a fun 4th of July.
We call it your 4th of July Field Guide - because it combines everything you need!
Top 3 Fireworks for Tall Guys
1. Cakes
Cakes are the classic rocket fireworks you see exploding across the sky on July 4th - and as a tall guy, you have the best vantage point to enjoy them! Cakes shoot multiple fireworks, so they make for a complete show. For the tall pyrotechnic, this is his perfect option.
2. Smoke Bombs
One of the best things about being tall on July 4th? Standing high above the smoke bombs. You'll be too high for the sulfur smell to reach your nose, and they're one of the easiest and cheapest fireworks to light. Great to share with your kids!
3. Sparklers
Stand tall above everyone else and wave your sparkler far out of reach! It's a classic no matter how old you are, and they are easy to spread among large groups of people, getting everyone involved.
Top 3 Tall Outfits for July 4th
1. Athletic Red, White, & Blue
If you're the athletic type, this red & blue combo is the perfect option for July 4th. Pair our navy Athletic Shorts with a red Athletic Tee for a breathable, moisture-wicking combo to look fresh on the 4th.
2. Titan Tank Combo
Expecting a hot one on the 4th? Wear our Tall Tank Top with a comfortable pair of Everyday Shorts to stay cool and comfortable as you celebrate. Flash your guns in the sun with this fit - just don't forget sunscreen!

More of a blue guy? This fit is subtle and comfortable, the perfect combo for July 4th. Pair a blue Henley Tee with our Everyday Joggers to maximize comfort as you watch the fireworks!
Top 3 Recipes for the 4th of July

Say goodbye to boring appetizers like potato salad or watermelon. These Buffalo Puppies are easy to whip together, but stand out among the cliches. We picked them as one of our favorites because they are easy to make and pair classic flavors in a new way!
2. Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Everyone loves a loaded baked potato - so why not make it easy to serve to everyone? This salad combines affordable ingredients into something everyone will love - and it's a great filling food to pair with a cocktail.

We had to include one for the pickle lovers. These Cream Cheese Pickles are the easiest to assemble out of our top 3, and they taste delicious. If you're looking for a creative but easy option, this is the way to go.
Top 3 July 4th Cocktails
