The summer keeps getting hotter, but luckily one retailer is dropping ultra-cool styles left and right. If you haven’t poked around the fashion aisles of Walmart recently, there are a ton of new seasonal collections with clothing and accessories that deserve a spot in your closet. To help sort through the warm-weather assortment, Shop TODAY contributor Chassie Post stopped by Studio 1A to share her must-haves for July.
From name-brand fashion to Walmart-exclusive lines, Post browsed through it all to narrow down her summer favorites. Right off the bat, she spotted a classic Levi’s jacket with a fresh oversized fit. You can wear it with everything from jeans and a tee to a breezy midi sundress — and we found the perfect peasant option from Time and Tru. Speaking of the brand, you’re going to love their bathing suit selection this season. Post’s top pick? A one-shoulder swim dress that gives you extra coverage without sacrificing style. It looks super chic worn everywhere from the beach to brunch, especially when paired with her wide-brim visor find. And don’t think she forgot about the guys! There’s a 100% cotton rugby giving major nautical vibes for just 30 bucks.

Walmart summer fashion seen on TODAY
The swim dress is trending big time this summer — and for good reason. This elevated pick has built-in briefs underneath the skirt, giving you a little more coverage without sacrificing style. Post even tired it on and raved about the one-shoulder silhouette, adjustable back straps and stretchy material made with 20% spandex. Reviewers also love the versatility since you can take it from the beach to the bar to the gym and beyond. Score the style above (or this one with a flattering slit) for under 30 bucks.
Editor’s note: This product is now out of stock, but we found a similar visor you might like below.
Roll-up visors are a Shop TODAY favorite for the summer travel season, and this wide-brim pick offers excellent sun protection with UPF 80+, per the brand. Not only is it fashionable, made from a stylish straw material and available in several different colors, but it’s also functional since it’s so easy to pack. Roll it up and throw it in your beach bag, suitcase or the back of your car — Post says that it’ll still keep its shape!
If you often find yourself wearing your hair in a ponytail or messy bun during the summer, this visor works with various updos while keeping your face shaded from the sun.
Post has been loving all the fashion offerings this summer, and this pick from Walmart-exclusive line Time and Tru is another big hit. Made from 100% cotton and flattering on all shapes and sizes, it’s the perfect throw-on-and-go sundress. With a gathered bodice, smocked waist and pretty ruffle trim, you can wear it on its own or even style it with a tee underneath for an equally effortless look. Score one of the six summery prints now for under 30 bucks!
Jean jackets have to be one of the most versatile wardrobe pieces of all time, and Post found one from Levi’s that’s classic with a twist. This version has been updated with an oversized “trucker” silhouette that features an easy, roomy fit and longer, flattering length that hits just below the hip. The closet staple comes in two vintage-inspired washes made from comfy stretch denim and goes with everything from sundresses to your favorite pair of jeans. It’s an investment that will never go out of style, and you’ll be able to wear it for seasons to come!
Wondering what Post has in her cart right now? These very on-trend rugby shirts for both her son and husband! From the 100% cotton fabric to the crisp nautical stripes, this high-quality find will instantly update any men’s wardrobe. Not to mention, the classic style certainly looks like it comes from a high-end brand (Brandon Maxwell is the designer for Free Assembly, after all), but it’s surprisingly affordable at just $30 a pop. Pair it with everything from shorts to linen pants to jean and more for a closet staple you can wear on repeat this summer.
