Affordable Summer Outfit Ideas from Walmart

April 8, 2025

Shop the New Walmart Summer Styles

As a fashion content creator, I do a lot of shopping. It’s in my job description to try on clothing from popular retailers to help my audience find trendy and affordable styles each season. Now since I do a lot of shopping by nature, I come across tons of pretty pieces that ultimately make their way into my wardrobe as staple items. I’ve been ordering and styling Walmart fashion for the past few years now and I can confidently say this is the BEST collection of summer fashion to hit Walmart shelves to date!

A lot of their new Free Assembly summer collection feels reminiscent to Abercrombie and Fitch. Take the printed midi dress I’m styling in these next couple of outfit photos for example. The design instantly reminds me of styles I’ve seen go for over $100 at Abercrombie. Free Assembly’s summer collection transports you to the Italian coastline with whimsical seaside prints and vibrant colors. Don’t miss out on this collection at Walmart because I know these pieces will be selling out fast!

Peplum Blouse (M) | Shorts (M) | Sandals | Purse

I put together this girly casual outfit idea for summer with a floral peplum blouse and linen shorts. These Time and Tru linen shorts are a summer staple for me! I typically wait until early summer to grab another pair of these pull-on linen shorts to style all throughout the summer months.

Midi Dress (M) | Raffia Bag | Shoes

How cute is this lemon printed midi dress!? I am SHOCKED that I found this at Walmart for such a great price. A dress like this one reminds me of something you could find at J.Crew for over $100. I’d go true to size for this beautiful dress from Free Assembly for a summer trip.

Pajama Set (M) | Sandals | Bag

I spotted this fruit and veggie printed pajama set in the pj section at Walmart – but I had different ideas for how to wear it. Instead of wearing this at home as a traditional pj set, why not style it out on a vacation day? Pairing the $22 Walmart Joyspun pj set with a high-neck bodysuit here to make the look vacay ready! See how it looks in motion in my YouTube short video here.

Mini Dress (M) | Raffia Bag | Block Heels

Another gorgeous summer dress is this printed mini dress from Free Assembly that I styled once again with this chic raffia bag and block heels.

Mini Dress (M) | Crossbody Bag | Block Heels

As a redhead I love wearing green! I feel like this color goes well with my features. I like the drop waist nature to this Free Assembly printed mini dress.
