Boutique-Worthy Walmart Finds Simplify Summer Dressing
1. What we like: Made from a blend of cotton, linen and viscose, this button-up dress is soft and breathable, making it comfortable even on the hottest days. It has a matte finish on the front which gives it a more polished look and feel.
2. Solar Yellow: Summer is the perfect time to wear your bright and bold colors, like this yellow sundress. The smocking around the bodice makes it more flattering and the flutter skirt makes it special enough for a night out.
3. Summer Sweater: There's something very nice about wearing a stretchy shirt in warm weather. This short-sleeved top is made of high-quality woven material, but is light enough to withstand high temperatures. We love the beautiful floral details too.
4. Polished Selection: Wear this button down blouse for warmer days when you still want to look put together. It's cute enough for the office but cute enough to pair with denim shorts.
5. Comfy and Chic: The loose silhouette and cropped fit make this matching tank set feel breezy and comfortable. You can keep this casual or dress it up with the right accessories.
6. Throw and Go: This simple t-shirt dress should be a staple in everyone's summer wardrobe. It has a flattering but loose fit, and it's versatile: it's easy to dress up with sneakers or dress up with platform sandals.
7. Rest and Relax: Bright and blousy, this button-down tank will be a current favorite. It's comfortable and elevates your basic denim shorts, but looks just as good with a maxi skirt.
8. Hamptons Boutique Vibes: This striped midi dress feels like it's from a high-end boutique, but it's actually less than $15 at Walmart. You can throw it with a nice pair of sandals, and you have a complete stylish look together.
9. Office Eligibility: The tapered waist of this mini dress makes it super flattering and shows off your curves. With a striped design and a crisp collar, this is perfect to wear to work.
10. Preppy and Casual: This set of ultra-soft fitted shorts looks almost like pyjamas, but with a collar and a flattering fit, it can double as a truly casual outfit. We love the bright colors they come in.
11. Rich Mom Look: Feminine details like ruffles and crochet make this short-sleeved blouse feel dressy. The stripes make this feel nautical, but it definitely has a more luxurious look.
12. Boho Babe: This maxi dress will be your favorite to wear when you want to feel comfortable but stylish. The loose fit makes it easy to wear, and we love that you can decide how many buttons to leave open.
