walmart expensive looking clothing

Want to look like a million bucks without having to spend a million bucks? We’ve got you covered!

For anyone who loves to shop, there’s no better feeling than finding something that looks way more expensive than it is. It’s almost like Christmas morning when you find something you absolutely love, brace yourself to squint at the price tag through half-opened eyes, and realize with glee that the skirt or pair of shoes you’ve picked up isn’t a small fortune — in fact, it’s actually downright affordable. The only problem is, cheap designer clothes is hard to find and most of us don’t have the time to sift through hundreds of racks of clothing to find those buried treasures…or scroll through hundreds of pages on a retail site. If just the idea of spending hours bargain shopping fills you with a sense of anxiety and dread, never fear, KCM is here! We sifted through the thousands and thousands of clothes at Walmart to curate 18 of our absolute favorite items that we know you’ll love, and they’re all available at jaw-dropping prices.

We’ve chosen a few pieces for the last few weeks of summer (one bathing suit in particular really called our name!) and some that will be great transition pieces from summer to fall, and even into winter. We’ve included some dresses from designers you may have heard of — do Kendall and Kylie Jenner or Sofia Vergara ring a bell? — and some that look like they’re made by designers you could only dream of wearing. We’ve included our favorites from the womens’ and juniors’ departments (ladies, there’s no shame in wearing something from the juniors’ department no matter what your age) and have included a variety of size and color options. Any of these 18 items are sure to become a well-worn staple in your closet, and will have your friends saying, “I absolutely love that, where is it from?” Just make sure to plan ahead so you don’t all show up to your next meet-up in the same outfit.

Finding a good transition season heel is tough, which is why the Stella block heel sandal was love at first sight for us.
