Summer will be here before we know it and we’re already dreaming of all the ways we can update our wardrobes with the best styles of the season. From social festivities to days at the desk, and vacations by the water to early morning runs, Walmart has everything you need to make this a summer of fashion-forward moments. See our Walmart summer fashion inspiration below.

Summer = party time! Grad parties, pool parties, backyard BBQs, and holiday soirées…summer is the season of celebrations. Make sure you’re party ready with one of these gorgeous getups.

Maybe you’re all work and no play. Which is okay, but don’t ignore the benefits of a healthy work-life balance! These dresses will have you looking chic in the office, and they can definitely be worn to date night after, too!

Pool days, beach trips, and lake vacations. Whatever your preferred form of water-centric recreation, get yourself a swimsuit to rock that will steal the show.

Don’t forget your coverup! These will come in handy when you’re trying to enjoy your liquid lunch at one of those “no shirt, no shoes, no service” places.

And if you’re team #summerbod, grab a few workout pieces that will make you excited to get your sweat on.

Graduation is a time for feeling all the feels – you’re excited to be moving on to something new, sad to leave behind what you know and love, and proud of everything you’ve accomplished thus far. It’s a pivotal time in a young adult’s life, and supporting them as they start the next chapter of their lives goes a long way! If you’ve got a grad in your life, gifting them something special (and practical) can help ease them through this transitional period! See our graduation gift guide below.

4. Starting a new chapter in life can be daunting, and laughter is the best medicine for those bouts of nervousness! This wrong exam answer book will keep your graduate giggling and bring a little lightheartedness to any situation.

5. Perfect for a family member, friend, or significant other, these long-distance bracelets let your loved ones know you’re thinking of them by lighting up and vibrating.

7. And with all that running around they’re doing, they’re probably going to need some coffee to help them through! This mini Keurig is perfect for dorm rooms.

8. Mr. (or Ms.) Fix-It to the rescue! This tool kit has all the basics so almost any maintenance emergency can be handled quickly and efficiently.

Graduation is a special time for seniors – the air is filled with the anticipation of all the things to come, the promise of exciting new adventures, and the nostalgia of the memories made with friends near and dear. Dressing up and looking your best on graduation day adds to all of the fun and makes the feeling of growing up and moving on to the next chapter even more momentous. Whether you’re graduating high school or college this spring, we’ve rounded up some gorgeous graduation gowns so you can make the most of your moment in the spotlight! See our graduation dress try-on haul below.

White is a classic color for graduation, but this dress is anything but classic. The asymmetrical hemline, deep v-neck, and stunning lace back make this white dress a fashion-forward, sultry graduation look!

If you like the idea of a white dress but want to show off a little more of a sweet personality, this floral-print dress with mesh cutouts is a gorgeous option.

This deep emerald green dress is a classy, sleek look for graduation. The ruched waist adds a nice bit of dimension!

An elegant black dress with an asymmetrical hem and low neckline is a subtly sexy look for the big day.

And for a fun twist on the LBD, we love this dress with a lace back detail and a two-tiered skater skirt!

A flared skirt gives a lot of flirty movement, and this beautiful purple dress also has an alluring lace-up back to give it some extra flair!

Graduation day needs a little sparkle and shimmer! This rose gold-sequined bodycon dress is an eye-catching and unique option for your ceremony.

This pale pink, almost-nude dress is definitely a little risqué, but the chain strap details and the bowtie back add an element of youth and playfulness.

Another pretty pink option! This one brings beaded fringe and a high slit to an otherwise plain look so you can shimmy and shake your way across the stage!

Sequins + ombre = a perfectly on-trend graduation dress! You deserve to shine in the spotlight and this dress will help you do just that.

It’s graduation season! Cue “Graduation” by Vitamin C (that song is definitely a classic). This is an exciting and emotional time for our graduates as they look back on all of their accomplishments and memories made and head toward the next big chapter in their lives. Give them a gift that will set them up for success at their new job, their new apartment, or their new school. Whether you’re shopping for a college graduate, a high school graduate, or a seriously sophisticated kindergarten graduate (we recommend the cookies for this one) we have got an awesome selection of gifts that your graduate will love.

Kitchen Gifts

For the one who spends all their time in the kitchen (we see you and we’re with you), these kitchen essentials make for great gifts. Brew a cup of coffee, blend a smoothie, bake some healthy fries, and bite a delicious cookie. Food is a gift to the soul, and these are our gifts to you.
