I’m so excited to be partnering again this month with Walmart! Their summer selection is their best yet and today I’m sharing lots of outfit essentials, all under $50 and most under $30. And what I love most is that all of these pieces can mix and match to create a summer capsule wardrobe. Let’s dive into all of the Walmart summer 2021 outfit essentials!
MY SIZING
For reference, I’m 5’7″ with a long torso and long legs. I typically wear a 27 in jeans or a size 4. My bra size is a 34D, and I am a true size medium in tops but sometimes size down for a more tailored fit or up for a more oversized fit. If I own the item I will always list my size and any recommendations I have for sizing up or down for quick reference. (TTS= true to size!)

I’m wearing x-small in this super cute tie-shoulder top from the Free Assembly line at Walmart. The entire line has an elevated casual feel and the quality is amazing. I went for a casual summer look here with these on-trend crop flare jeans. However, you could pair this same top with a skirt for a more elevated look. You could also layer a blazer over the top for a professional feel.

A trend that I’ve been loving this season is squared neckline tops, dresses, and even jumpsuits. I love the way it gives the top structure and shape. This peplum top is incredibly versatile and perfect styled with shorts for a casual summer look, but could also be dressed up with wide-leg crop pants and heels for a dressier look for the office. I love the distressing and inseam length of these cutoffs. They look and feel much more expensive than their $24 price tag. I’m in a small in the top and a size 6 in the shorts.

This puff sleeve tee is another Free Assembly piece and comes in five colors. It’s currently on sale for just $11 and I can’t get over the quality! I love it styled casually, but you could also dress it up with white denim or a blazer. I’m wearing a size medium.

I can’t say enough good things about this chic linen blazer. It’s a total outfit maker and can be styled with everything from cutoffs to wide-leg crop pants to jeans and skirts. The fit is so good and I love the longer silhouette and touching on the sleeves. It comes in three gorgeous neutrals and I’m in a size small and it fits TTS.

This tie-shoulder top again, this time in a summer plaid. I’m in a small in this one and love the fit of both this size and the x-small so you do have some flexibility with sizing. Of all of these Walmart summer 2021 essentials, I think this one might be my favorite!

This ribbed knit midi dress is a summer must-have! The fit is incredible and I feel like a million bucks in it. Plus it’s one of those pieces that, as you can see, can be styled in so many different ways. Dress it up with a blazer and heels for the office, on its own with wedges and a clutch for date night, or style it casually with a cardigan or jean jacket. I’m wearing a size medium and it fits true to size.

How darling is this peasant-style midi dress? Perfect for carefree days with an easy, breezy, tiered silhouette and on-trend puff sleeves. It’s perfect for summer date nights, brunch, church, showers, or add a blazer for the office. It comes in four colors and I’m in a medium but definitely needed a small (I have the extra fabric clipped in the back). Be sure to size down in this one. You see how many ways all of these Walmart summer 2021 outfit essentials can be mixed and matched to create so many different outfits!

Another absolutely adorable and versatile dress with the prettiest details! I always love a dropped waist and the sleeves and smocking detail are so feminine. I loved this pretty pink, but it also comes in blue, black, and white. You can definitely style this more casually or dress it up for a shower or even a wedding. I sized up to a medium for length but I think a small would fit better in the shoulders.

Last but not least, these pull-on cargo shorts are a must-have for creating easy summer outfits. I love the high-waist and ruffle, and they would be adorable paired with a cropped tee or bodysuit for a more casual look, or dress them up with a chic blazer. These come in four colors and I’m in a junior’s size medium. I’d recommend sizing up in these.
