Let’s say your entire summer wardrobe vanished—like poof. No dresses, no everyday tops, no go-to outfit formulas to fall back on. Just an empty closet, a real-life schedule, and a Walmart run.

That’s exactly how I approached this month’s shopping guide.

Not “what’s cute” but what makes sense. What would I buy first? What could I wear on repeat? What would help me rebuild a wardrobe that actually works for my day-to-day summer life?

This list is packed with real staples. Things you can wear on errands, coffee dates, summer Fridays, and every Target run in between. It’s summer style—but the version that actually fits your life and your budget.

Here are the 40 pieces I’d start with if I was rebuilding my summer wardrobe from Walmart.
