Stylists Share The 15 Clothing Items And Accessories They Would Buy From Walmart

In need of a spring wardrobe refresh? We spoke to some professional stylists to find out what they love at Walmart right now.

Walmart , the superstore that’s virtually everywhere and has everything, is a convenience and a staple for millions of Americans. Still, it might surprise you to learn that the same store in which you buy bathtub cleaner and breakfast cereal is also home to some really cute, on-trend clothing and accessories. If you don’t already think of Walmart as an affordable fashion destination, you might want to give it another look. 

We asked five professional fashion stylists to share some of their style acumen and tell us what they would buy from Walmart right now. If you’re in the market for some new spring looks, read on for some of their expert-approved picks.

HuffPost receives a share from retailers on this page. Every item is independently selected by the HuffPost Shopping team. Prices and availability are subject to change.

1
Tricolor sandal
Beverly O , a New York-native stylist who has worked with publications like Vogue Italia and Elle Vietnam, chose these simple yet girly sandals to make a subtle statement. Theyre made of faux leather and Beverly loves the sorbet-like color palette.
2
A colorful pair of statement earrings
Beverly O likes these curvy-shaped earrings made of an opalescent resin in pale pink and navy blue. The detail and asymmetrical style with these earrings really make a statement, she says, and the color is neutral, making it easy to pair with printed dresses and tops.
3
A bold, wide-brimmed sun hat
Protect your face from the sun while injecting some color into your look. This piece, another of Beverlys choices, is a fun and stylish upgrade from a plain straw hat and will last you well into the summer.
4
A pair of chunky lug sole sandals
Lana Blanc , a personal stylist based in New York, likes these black and white fisherman sandals. Theyre an update on another early '00s throwback, and Blanc predicts the style is going to be huge this spring and summer.
5
A pair of wide-leg jeans
Both Blanc and Beverly O independently picked these jeans as an of-the-moment denim update. Ditch your worn-out skinny jeans for a trendy wide-leg style that still has a butt-flattering fit. Blanc suggests pairing these jeans with a crop top or bodysuit.
6
A chocolate-colored faux leather purse
This solid little rectangular bag, made of a leather alternative, can be worn cross-body or held like a top-handle bag or clutch. It comes in both a rich brown and a camel color, and Blanc approves of both.
7
A structured purse with pearl accents
Annette Harris , a personal stylist and certified image consultant based in the Washington, D.C. area, says that nowadays, pearls have taken on a whole new life. This cylindrical, quilted, cross-body bag feels fancy and feminine, and it looks great in both black and white.
8
A ruffled gingham dress
If you cant get enough of the cottagecore look, please direct your attention to this sweet dress that just begs for a picnic. Its made complete by cute ruffle and eyelet details, and Harris suggests adding a belt if youd like to accentuate your waist.
9
A flouncy color-blocked midi dress
Harris says, Fuchsia and orange are two go-to colors this season and the blocking style makes a statement. It comes in sizes up to 5XL, and Harris says it will work especially well on folks with small busts and fuller hips.
10
A bright and breezy slip dress
Alison Lumbatis , a Dallas-based stylist, blogger and author of The Ultimate Book of Outfit Formulas, named this highlighter-colored, simple silhouette as a top choice. Its a return to the '00s, she said. Throw a lightweight cropped cardigan over it or pair it with a blazer to add a little polish.
11
A country-chic ruffled blouse
The Little House on the Prairie vibe is still trending, and something airy and light like this blouse is perfect for spring weather. Lumbatis suggests half-tucking it into high-waisted, white jeans.
12
A mock-neck midi sweater dress
This pale pink and white striped sweater dress lets you make a statement and stay cozy at the same time. Lumbatis calls it a one and done instant outfit, and she appreciates its versatility dress it down with white sneakers, or opt for wedge heels to take it up a notch.
13
Some fashion-forward overalls
Overalls are having a moment, according to Andie Sobrato , a personal style consultant based in the Bay Area. She pointed to these drawstring-waisted denim overalls as a cute and functional option for running errands.
14
A pair of knotted block heels
These slip-on heeled sandals, made from a super-soft leather alternative, will easily elevate your casual looks. Sobrato loves this powder blue color, and says these shoes will work well with flowy dresses, midi skirts, and even basic jeans.
15
A shapely cross-body purse
The subtle scoop shape of this purse feels very luxe-inspired, and the saturated spring green color will make a statement now and for seasons to come. According to Sobrato, bringing in a pop of color for your spring wardrobe is always a good idea.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a makeup collection that doesn't include at least one product from MAC. After all, the brand is a pioneer in makeup artistry and offers products that make it easy to master whatever technique you attempt, be it a cat eye or a perfectly sculpted cheekbone. We're partial to their Studio Fix Powder Foundation ($36) because it can not only be used to even out skin tone like a traditional foundation, but you can use it as a contouring powder if you go a few shades darker.

Though Morphe's built-to-last makeup brushes are what put them on the map, they've since expanded to offer a full line of beauty products including color cosmetics, complexion products and even skin care. We still have a soft spot for their brushes, though, specifically the Morphe Ros Away Travel Brush Set ($28), which contains all the tools you need to create a flawless look whether you're home or abroad.

If you love all things coconut, get your hands on one of Kopari's body care products (many of their products make use of the skin-conditioning ingredient). Our recommendation? The Kopari Exfoliating Crush Scrub ($39) it's the perfect pre-tanning prep exfoliator that uses a medley of Tahitian coconut shells and brown sugar to whisk away dry, dead skin. The result: An instantly smooth, touchable complexion. Yes, please! (credit:Kopari)
Philosophy(07 of15)

If you're looking to switch up your cleanser, add the fan-favorite Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser ($25) to your cart. It removes all traces of dirt, makeup and buildup for clearer, healthier-looking skin. Best part? Because it's made with meadowfoam seed oil, it won't leave you feeling parched afterward (like other cleansers can do). (credit:Philosophy)

Gone are the days when Clinique was just a department store brand you can now find the luxe skin care and makeup brand scouring the shelves of Target.

With Drybar's collection of stylers and hot tools, you can achieve salon-quality locks without ever stepping foot into one. Working on second- or third-day hair? Peep the brand's signature Detox Dry Shampoo ($14), which relies on rice powders to soak up excess oil that may be the culprit to your greasy roots. We love that the formula is translucent, meaning it's universal for all hair colors from the deepest of blacks to the lightest of blondes. (credit:Drybar)
Ouai(10 of15)
