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.
Sometimes a little reset is much needed, and while taking a week vacation is definitely ideal, a weekend getaway can be just as refreshing. These six travel destinations are perfect spots for a quick trip, whether you’re going with the family, with your significant other, with the girls, or solo. Find which one speaks to your soul and get planning…your destination awaits.
Lake Champlain, Vermont

Stay near (or in) the city of Burlington and also take the time to explore the arts and culture of this quaint college town with its cobblestone streets and historic landmarks.
Where to Stay
What to Do
- Hike and chase waterfalls at Ausable Chasm. This sandstone gorge is located in Keesville, NY, a little over an hour drive from Burlington, but the scenery is worth the trip.

New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans is the best choice for girls’ getaway, as it has no shortage of parties and events! The distinctive nightlife, music scene, and cuisine are just a small part of this city’s rich history.

Sedona, Arizona
Head to Sedona, Arizona to find yourself in an oasis in the middle of the Arizona desert. This little piece of paradise is filled with mystery, history, and breathtaking scenery. Adventurers will feel called to these red sandstone formations which are ideal for hiking, biking, and spiritual exploration. If you’re itching for a solo trip, Sedona is the place to be.
Where to Stay
What to Do
- Have a photoshoot at Cathedral Rock. This natural sandstone butte on the Sedona skyline, with a summit elevation of 4,967 feet, is one of the most-photographed sights in Arizona. While this hike is on the difficult side in some places, and more of a rock climb, adventurers who are feeling up to the challenge will be handsomely rewarded with spectacular views.
- Browse art and grab a bite to eat at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. This internationally renowned village boasts an outstanding collection of galleries, shops, and dining establishments, and has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970’s. Tlaquepaque means the “best of everything,” and this village certainly does not disappoint with its vine-covered stucco walls, cobble-stoned walkways, and magnificent arched entryways.
- Stargaze and be on the lookout for UFOs. Sedona’s low light pollution and high altitude make it a premier spot for experiencing the magic of the night sky. While you’re guaranteed to spot constellations and maybe even a couple planets, you never know what else you might encounter surrounded by the gorgeous and mysterious red rock formations.

Yellowstone National Park, Montana
Yellowstone is regarded as America’s first (and probably most famous) national park, and for good reason.

Napa Valley, California
World-famous Napa Valley is loved for its pristine vineyards, elite wineries, and luxurious hotels and is considered one of the premier wine regions of the world. Great for a couples weekend, Napa Valley boasts plenty of things to do like winery tours, hot air balloon rides, and relaxing spa days. Surround yourself with the lush greenery and fresh air and feel all your worries drift away. The top-quality wine may have a little something to do with that too, though.
Where to Stay
What to Do
- Sip wine at a winery. You can’t visit one of the most famous wine regions in the world and not tour a winery (or three).
