For a casual cool vibe, pair a simple t-shirt with jeans, a bomber jacket, and dress boots. If sporty and laidback is your style, don a striped pocket tee with utility pants and hightop sneakers. And if you prefer fun and fresh, a short sleeve chambray shirt with pocket shorts, a fatigue jacket, and casual sneakers will be your go-to look.

Flower Blouse | High-Rise Skinny Jeans | Ruffle Sleeve Sweater | Tank Dress | Waterfall Cardigan | Twist Front Midi Dress | One Shoulder Sweater Dress | Palazzo Pants | Turtleneck Bodysuit | Loafers | Cut-out Pumps | Wedge Boots

If your dress code for work is more casual, a pair of skinny jeans with a pretty, flowy blouse or sweater with sweet accents like ruffle sleeves paired with tall wedge boots is a great (and comfortable!) look. If you want to dress up, a shortsleeve or tank midi dress topped with a cardigan, or a longsleeve sweater dress, styled with low, cut-out pumps makes for a sophisticated and professional outfit. And if you want to show off your inner fashionista, a pair of animal print palazzo pants with a turtleneck bodysuit and open-backed loafers is a fun yet sleek vibe for the office.

Summer is in full swing and that means lots of pool parties!

Being a young adult means being free to explore your style and express your unique sense of self. And for those of us who have been there, we know we can go through a lot of fashion phases before we find one that fits (I’m still experimenting well past my young adult years). If you’ve got a young adult that you’re responsible for outfitting, Walmart has a great selection of fun fashion that won’t break the bank, so you can happily encourage and support all of your teen’s style switches. See some looks for both guys and gals below.

Young Adult Women

Find just the right mix of chic and carefree with a graphic tee and skinny jeans. Add wedge sneakers and bright accessories for a fashionable spin on a laidback look. A monochromatic (or full tie dye) athleisure set with a fanny pack, slip on shoes, and scrunchies (in the hair or on the wrist like a bracelet) is a fun way to spice up a sporty look.

Young Adult Men

Comfy can be cool too, with these pastel tie dye jogger shorts paired with a basic pocket tee or shortsleeve hoodie and canvas sneakers. Grab a backpack and throw on a smartwatch and you’ve got yourself a stylish sportswear vibe. Take a pair of flat front shorts and dress them up with a button up shirt or keep them casual with a graphic tee. Finish the look with a baseball cap and skater sneakers.

Activewear is one of my favorite things to shop for, and a category of clothing that I basically live in because it’s comfortable, practical, and super cute! But it can also get pretty pricey. And if you’re anything like me and have a tendency to buy more than you could ever possibly wear (it’s just so hard to say no!!) then you know how quickly you can deplete your bank account…whoops. Luckily, Walmart has a huge selection of activewear that is adorable and affordable. We’ve picked out some of our favorites from the men’s and women’s collections below.

Women’s Activewear

Yoga, running, cycling, weight lifting, or Pilates – whatever your go-to workout, Walmart has an outfit for you. Leggings and a stylish tank top are great for a group fitness class, while highwaisted leggings with a high impact sports bra and baseball cap are perfect for an early morning run. Biker shorts and a cropped tank-style sports bra are the ideal duo for your spin class or putting in a few miles on your road bike. These outfits are also wonderful options for running errands or vegging on the couch…no judgement here!

Men’s Activewear

If he’s joining you for your workout, playing in a rec sports league, or hanging out and watching the big game, Walmart’s got him covered, too. A pullover hoodie and shorts are a good combo for an outdoor workout, and a t-shirt and joggers are the perfect outfit to wind down and relax.

Yoga, running, cycling, weight lifting, or Pilates – whatever your go-to workout, Walmart has an outfit for you. Leggings and a stylish tank top are great for a group fitness class, while highwaisted leggings with a high impact sports bra and baseball cap are perfect for an early morning run. Biker shorts and a cropped tank-style sports bra are the ideal duo for your spin class or putting in a few miles on your road bike. These outfits are also wonderful options for running errands or vegging on the couch…no judgement here!

Men’s Activewear

If he’s joining you for your workout, playing in a rec sports league, or hanging out and watching the big game, Walmart’s got him covered, too. A pullover hoodie and shorts are a good combo for an outdoor workout, and a t-shirt and joggers are the perfect outfit to wind down and relax.

Yes, we know it’s only July…we don’t want to rush summer either! But it’s never too early to start prepping for back to school. The school supply lists can seem endless and if your young ones are growing like weeds, shopping for clothes can be frustrating, to say the least. Back-to-school shopping can be exhausting and expensive, but Walmart is making it easy with everything you need for the upcoming school year at a price that’s definitely budget friendly. So shop away now, and then sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of your summer vacation.

First Day Outfit

Picking out the perfect first day outfit is kind of like picking out the perfect wedding dress. Okay maybe not THAT close but still…the first day back to school is the first time seeing a bunch of people that probably haven’t been seen in a while, and there will definitely be photos taken (just one more!!) so wanting an outfit that looks good is understandable. This goes for all you teachers, too! We know you want to dress to impress this year’s students and we support it. Check out some of these fashion finds for a first day outfit below.

Backpacks and Lunchboxes

Looking good doesn’t stop with the clothes! These backpacks and lunchboxes are not only functional, they’re fashionable, too. Your child will rule the school in style – and maybe a cool backpack will help the kids look forward to doing homework (one can dream, right?).

School Supplies

There’s something exhilarating about new school supplies. Everything is brand new and shiny, full of potential. The blank pages of a notebook wait to be filled with color-coordinated notes and to-do lists – or doodles for the day dreamers. Most schools give out supply lists but if you want to get a jumpstart on supply shopping, we’ve rounded up the essentials here.

When the weather is warm and the sun is beating down on you, the last thing you want to worry about is a face full of makeup melting off. Light and bright makeup looks are the way to go during the summer season, and Walmart has everything you need to keep your makeup routine simple and beautiful at a price that won’t break the bank. Here are some of our favorite summer beauty looks:

Barely-There Beauty

Go nude this summer with these neutral makeup products and rock the barely-there beauty look. Beige and light brown eyeshadows with just a hint of shimmer will bring depth and dimension to your eyes, and a dash of brown eyeliner with a coat or two of dark black mascara will add definition. Dust a little highlighter on your cheekbones for extra dazzle and swipe some nude lip gloss on for a finishing touch of shine.

Eyeliner | Lip Gloss | Highlighter | 4 Shade Eyeshadow Palette | Mascara | 10 Shade Eyeshadow Palette

Hot Hues

Bring the heat with these hot hues that are reminiscent of a fiery sunset (or sunrise, if you prefer mornings). Red, orange, and yellow tones are a bold and beautiful look for the eyes. Keep the look light with a taupe eyeliner and brown mascara, and throw on some bronzer for that sun-kissed glow. Top it all off with a caramel lip shimmer for luscious lips and you’ll be looking hot, hot, hot!

4 Shade Eyeshadow Palette | Lip Shimmer | Mascara | Eyeliner | 10 Shade Eyeshadow Palette | Bronzer

Pretty in Pink

Opt for a soft, feminine look with these pretty pink shades. Play up your eyes with roses, purples, and pastels, and make the look pop with a gray eyeliner and a few coats of brown/black mascara. Get rosy cheeks with a touch of light pink blush and protect your pout with this lip gloss that has added SPF.
