If you’re only shopping at Walmart for TVs and household essentials like toilet paper, then you’re really missing out. The retailer’s stores are massive for a reason — there are great finds in every department, and yes, that includes the clothing section too.
Like many of you, I was initially skeptical about purchasing items for my wardrobe at Walmart. But after trying on a bunch of jeans and coats from the store, I’m not ashamed to say that I’m a convert. With a little patience and an open mind, you can totally find budget-friendly gems for your closet at the superstore.
Shoppers hoping to refresh their look for the new year should head over to Walmart, where hundreds of new arrivals were just added. I know firsthand the selection can be overwhelming, so I clicked through countless pages to find the best fashion steals for you. They’re all classic staples you can wear for years to come and even better, nothing is more expensive than $40. Check them out below.
According to Yahoo’s fashion writer Rebecca Carhart, all the cool girls in Paris are wearing classic straight-leg jeans right now. So if you don’t already own a pair, snag this perfect Levi’s pair for $20. They come in a slimming, not-too-dark wash and they’re available in three inseams in sizes 2-20. “They have a perfect amount of stretch and don’t bag out,” one fan noted.
Layering is key when it comes to staying warm on cold winter days. My tip? Grab this chic chenille cardigan to wear with jeans, leggings or over dresses. The soft knit material offers lots of warmth and there are several great colors to choose from.
“I bought one last year and wore it religiously during the cold season because it kept me warm,” commented a five-star reviewer. “When I saw they had multiple colors this year, I literally screamed and ordered two more in two different colors. Love them — by far my favorite sweater.”
Everything about this ribbed maxi dress is total perfection. The long sleeves and full length make it perfect for cooler days. The color is a stunning shade of green that’s probably unlike anything you already own. And the button detail at the bottom? So cute! Best of all, this beauty is down to just $15 right now.
“I absolutely love this knit dress,” one satisfied shopper wrote in their review. “I love that the fabric is thin enough to keep you comfortable. It has just enough stretch without being clingy. I’m buying more colors — this dress is a keeper. Hubby even gave it a thumbs up too!”
Okay, I know it’s probably too cold in most parts of the country to get away with wearing just a trench coat now, but this is a buy now, save for later piece. If you wait until the temps rise, there’s a good chance this stunning jacket will be sold out, so take my word for it. Grab this iconic, flattering style now while it’s available in every size. You’ll be glad you did when you look super chic braving spring showers.
Bring some serious style to your winter workouts by snagging this stretchy zip-up jacket in a bright, bold color. We like the purple (no surprise there), but it’s also available in vivid shades of pink, blue and green. Wear it on your morning walks with leggings or while working up a sweat on the elliptical at the gym.
The new year is a great opportunity to inventory your denim collection and toss anything that’s seen better days. Once you’ve made space for new jeans, consider this wide-leg pair by Sofia Vergara that one shopper called “perfect” and another called “flattering.”
“These jeans are fantastic,” a happy customer commented. “Perfect fit in the waist and length. They are very comfortable and have enough stretch that moves with your body.”
There’s just something about snuggling up in a nubby fleece pullover that makes winter a bit more bearable. If you don’t already have one in your closet, then treat yourself to this popular Walmart pick for just $10. At that price, you can totally afford to get two colors — or even three!
Buying a versatile black dress is never a bad idea. Sure, you may need to accessorize this frock with tights and a cardigan during the colder winter months, but rest assured it’s a solid closet investment you’ll wear all year long.
If you’re prioritizing natural fibers in your wardrobe, then you’ll appreciate that this stylish cardigan is made from 100% cotton. It has a slightly slouchy fit that looks effortlessly cool with jeans and joggers, and it’s machine washable. Choose from four colors in sizes XS-XXXL.
Walmart doesn’t just do clothing, you know? The accessories are standout, too. The luxe black satchel looks way more expensive than its $15 price tag and it has pockets galore to stash all your everyday essentials. “This purse was extremely well made. It has great structure. The details and stitching were done exceptionally well,” raved one shopper.
