If you’re only shopping at Walmart for groceries and furniture, then you’re missing out big time, because Walmart’s fashion finds are (surprisingly) elite. From oversize totes to midi skirts to jackets, their clothing section is brimming with all the latest summer fashion trends—shoes included, so don’t be surprised when you see a pair of Cushionaire strappy thongs ($25) in the list below. Walmart also has quite a few in-house brands that produce amazing pieces, like Free Assembly, which makes a great black bikini top ($18) and high-waisted bottom ($16), and Time and Tru, home to this slip skirt that looks like it came straight out of the White Lotus wardrobe.
With summer in sight, it’s hard (reckless, even!) to pass up affordable and stylish pieces when they’re at my fingertips. After all, it’s time to round out that summer capsule wardrobe with all the breathable sundresses, sandals, swimsuits and sneakers your eye can find…and Walmart’s got us covered. Here, 17 Walmart summer fashion pieces I’m buying now, starting at $10.
1. PrettyGarden Smocked Floral Dress
First things first, I need to stock up on summer dresses, and buyers can’t get enough of this polyester flirty frock for its lightweight feel, flowy silhouette and stretchy fabric…but don’t just take my word for it. “This dress is even better in person,” gushes a Walmart reviewer. “The colors are so vibrant and beautiful. The dress has pockets, which I didn’t realize until I tried it on—awesome!!!” Some note that it tends to run small, so I’d double check your measurements against the size chart before checking out.

2. Scoop Linen Blend Wide-Leg Pants
Cool, linen-blend trousers for summer? Yes please. These breezy wide-leg pants boast an elastic waistband (hello, comfort) and vibrant colorway—though there are more hues, including neutral shades, to choose from. The inseam measures a whopping 32 inches long, so you may need to get them hemmed at the tailor if you’re under 5’8”, but on the bright side, you’ll have a bespoke pair of pants afterwards.

3. Cushionaire Cruise Flip Flops
Honestly, there’s nothing that gets me more excited for summer than a good ‘ole pair of flip-flops, especially this Cushionaire Cruise style that’s minimalist-chic, simple and lightweight. Psst…that means it’s travel-friendly. Despite their thin design, they’re made with a durable non-slip sole for good traction on those pool-soaked surfaces and comfortable, almost barely there fit.
4. Caistre Straw Hobo Bag
Every year I go on a beach vacation, and every year, I fail to bring an appropriate beach bag. Lucky for me, this chic straw top handle will fit the bill. It has a generous size (12.2 inches long by 2.7 inches wide by 12.2 inches in height) that’s ideal for those must-have essentials: sunscreen, SPF chapstick, a beach read, hair ties, phone, keys and such. According to reviews, its sturdy shape holds up well but is quite still—a detail I actually appreciate because there’s nothing worse than having your beach bag flop into the sand the second you put it down.

- Size Range: S and L
5. Free Assembly Ruched Midi Dress
There are a few reasons why I immediately fell head over heels for this darling dress. 1) It’s made from 100 percent cotton, meaning it’ll be ultra-breezy, comfy and suitable for those annoyingly hot summer days. 2) The design is so demure, with its sweetheart neckline, ruched bodice and flirty cut-out at the chest. And 3) it’s finished with the cutest lemon-filled print that’s making me want to book a trip to the Amalfi coast, stat. Need I say more? Pockets? Yeah, it has those, too.

6. No Boundaries Sneakers
With more than 4,000 five-star reviews on Walmart, it’s clear to me that these sporty kicks are a dime a dozen in the shoe department. Low-profile sneakers are having a moment, and rightly so, considering they’re uber-stylish yet don’t compromise on comfort (thanks to that memory foam insole). After sifting through hundreds of reviews, I found three things worthy of note: they’re comfy, high-quality and true to size, and even soften and loosen up the more you break it in.
