Promising review: “Love it! This dress is very pretty. The bonus are the pockets!” —Angela

Price: $24.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and three colors)

Promising review: “These camp shirts are becoming a spring/summer staple for me. I love the soft fabric and the fact that they are cool, but opaque enough that they don't show your bra underneath (even white). The gathered yoke and shoulder make them drape beautifully, and they skim over my mom's belly without clinging or gaping at the buttons. The length is perfect to leave untucked. They do need to be line-dried and ironed to avoid ruining the viscose fabric, but it's a worthwhile trade-off to me for such a versatile shirt. I've worn them with both pants/shorts and long skirts for church.” —indigosand

Price: $11.91+ (originally $19.98; available in sizes XS–XXXL and eight colors)

Promising review: “Omg...these jeans are probably my new fave jeans. The fit and style look so designer high-end, and the fit is perfect. I am petite and was worried the cut on the jeans would add bulk...not the case. I am 5'2, 130 lbs, and got size 4, and they fit TTS. The length hits right below the center of the calf. Hope they come in more colors soon... I will get every color if they do.” —Walmart customer

Price: $32 (available in sizes 0–26 Plus and two colors)

Promising review: “Perfect lightweight linen pants that rival the pricier brands! Fit like a dream and are perfect for dressing up for work or dressing down with a simple tee and flip-flops for a more casual look. They wash well and are super cool in hot Midwest summers. Highly recommend!” —SimplySusan

Price: $21.98 (available in sizes XS–3XL and three colors)

Promising review: “The color of this is so pretty! Perfect for spring.” —Madison

Promising review: “Must have MORE!!! I am in love with these cotton tops! My husband just told me to order two more. At first, I thought it was tight around the top elastic, but it was just new, and now it's the perfect tightness to comfortably keep the neckline in place (even off-the-shoulder!!). I'm really sad the white doesn't come in my size. I want these in every color! Awesome, lightweight, breathable, elegant summer top!” —Blakely

Price: $22 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: “Very cute! Got many compliments on these shorts — very cute and stylish. Would definitely recommend. Dress them up or down.” —Teresa

Price: $22.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and four colors)

Promising review: “So cute and fashionable. Very comfortable and true to size. Worn them out of the box for a whole day, and my feet felt heavenly. Very different than anything I’ve seen elsewhere.” —Joan

Price: $24.98 (available in sizes 6–11 and four designs)

Promising review: “Great quality, fun summer dress! This dress is such high quality and a great, comfortable fit. The patterns were so cute, I ordered it in three different ones! If by chance you are really debating between sizes, size down.” —Alison

Price: $28 (originally $148+; available in sizes XS–XXXL and seven patterns)

Promising review: “Perfect floppy hat for travel or the pool! Large floppy hat, perfect for the beach, and keeping the sun out of your eyes. I bought the hat to decorate and wear to my company's Kentucky Derby office party. Folds easily for packing, but I think it could be reshaped. Good value.” —Stacy

Promising review: “Love the baby pink tiered skirt. True to size, fit, and hangs wonderfully. Soft to the touch and goes from backyard parties to out and about. The length is just perfect, not too short and not see-through. Grab the matching cami for a cute outfit!” —Kathy

Price: $16.50 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and two colors)

Promising review: “10/10, no notes! This is so cute! I love the color — it matches with everything (tan). The bag is even bigger than I expected. Looks like the name-brand product for a fraction of the cost. I would definitely recommend.” —Christine

Price: $15.88 (available in seven colors; also available in a bigger size in eight colors)

Promising review: “This skirt is absolutely adorable! It's very lightweight; perfect for summer.” —Abigail

Price: $24.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and two colors)

Promising review: “Really nice quality elevated T-shirt for under $10. The collar is thick, so it's unlikely to sag or stretch with repeated washings. One of those items I'll definitely purchase in many colors as closet staples. Hope they come out with more/brighter colors for summer! I found it true to size. I'm generally a L/10/12, and L fits perfectly. I'm 5'7,” and it was plenty long too — not cropped at all.” —Amanda

Price: $9.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and five colors)

Promising review: “Beautiful dress. The pink color is the perfect shade. The fabric is soft and, because it is cotton, comfortable in warm weather. Hem length on me is below the knee. The perfect spring and summer dress. Also love the neck. I can wear different necklaces to keep it casual or dress it up. Perfect.” —Karen

Price: $9.40+ (originally $14.98+; available in sizes XS–4X and eight colors)

Promising review: “The perfect mirrored pink sunglasses! I'm really happy with this purchase from Foster Grant. Reviews complained that these sunglasses felt huge. However, these aviators fit my face like a PERFECT FIT! These are actually my first mirrored lenses, and I'm in love with these pink shades!” —RetailLover

Promising review: “I absolutely love this dress! The material is nice, not flimsy or see-through. The print is perfect for spring/summer. Very easy to dress up or down. ❤️” —Ronae

Price: $28 (available in sizes XS–4X in two colors and XS–XXL in three colors)

Promising review: “I love everything about these shoes. Unexpected quality for the price point. They are the perfect summer slip-on shoe that goes with just about everything. I would recommend spraying with a protectant. They are comfortable, and one pair easily lasts the season. There's a nice cushioned insole that makes these comfortable to wear all day on the go. I've worn them on vacation, and because they're so versatile, I find I don't need as many shoes. By far my favorite summer shoe.” —Sara

Price: $19.98 (available in sizes 6 – 11; also available in three additional colors)

Promising review: “These are great shorts. They are comfortable and lightweight. I love the stretchy waistband. I had to get in all the colors. They are beautiful. They are going to be nice to wear in the summer. I wanted something comfortable and not too short. These are perfection. Love the scalloped detail. It's so pretty and feminine. You can def dress it up or keep it casual. Great pick.” —Aimee

Price: $22.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and four colors)

Promising review: “This little pink number is super cute! The material is very thin, so I am sure it's great in hot weather. It does run true to size as well.” —tina

Price: $14.98 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

Promising review: “Beautiful scarf at an amazing price! Soft and silky with vibrant colors. Need to buy one in each color!!!!” —Sally

Price: $6.97 (available in eight colors and patterns)

Promising review: “Beautiful embroidered skirt. The whole nautical Free Assembly line is very high quality! Love that this is cotton!” —Kara

Price: $32 (available in sizes 0–26 Plus)

Promising review: “Beautiful wristlet! Great quality and colors! I’ve seen others say they couldn’t fit a phone, but I was able to get my iPhone 17 Pro Max easily into the bag. Also fit ID, a little cash, gloss, a pen, and a few debit/credit cards. Hooked the key fob to the outside! Very impressed, and I am very picky.” —Rin

Price: $14.97 (also available in three additional designs) 

Promising review: “Perfect summer shoe! Such cute and on trend shoes! Bought last year’s version and they were the perfect summer shoe and could walk forever in them when on a trip in Italy. Memory foam really great! This year’s version with the mesh is so stylish. Don’t sleep on these!” —Kristine

Price: $30+ (originally $44; available in sizes 6–11 and six colors)

Promising review: “Free Assembly brand at Walmart is so good. This sweater is of great quality and super cute!! I love it!!” —Leona

Price: $26 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and two colors)

Promising review: “Perfect denim jacket to dress up an outfit! Excellent quality denim jacket. It’s super cute and hits at the perfect place. I’m really picky with quality, and I’ve been on the hunt for a darker wash denim jacket, and this checks all my boxes! Perfect for dressing up leggings and a tank top, or for layering over a dress. I’m constantly impressed with Free Assembly.” —Rachel

Promising review: “This top is so quality. The fit is amazing. The little ruffle bottom is adorable. The color is gorgeous. I really like this top.” —Laura

Price: $24 (available in sizes XS–XXL, 4X, and two colors)

Promising review: “Cute! This is pretty true to size, if not roomy. I’m normally a 3X TTS, and this fits with enough room. A tad confusing when finding out how to put it on properly, but a beautiful light piece. Personally, I like covering my arms, and it still shows enough skin without being too much.” —Alex

Price: $12.98 (available in two sizes and colors)

Promising review: “Good quality. Love Scoop clothes. Runs small, size up.” —julia

Price: $24 (available in sizes 0–26 Plus and two colors)

Promising review: “Whimsical and unique! Gorgeous craftsmanship and beading. They are very delicate and can bend, so I would be careful with these because they're made on a felt backing, but the beading is gorgeous, and they're so unique.” —Jessica

Price: $8.92 (also available in nine additional designs)
