By Anna Hilderman

As the long, much-awaited days of summer settle in, you’ll need a warm-weather wardrobe that takes you where you need to be in style. The key? Layering airy staples in a variety of textures and bold colors for a vibrant, endlessly interchangeable summer look. With tricks like turning a trendy one-piece swimsuit into a top for a balmy backyard evening, we’re here to set you up for your most stylish summer yet.

Warm-weather looks are about keeping comfortable and uncomplicated, even as the temperatures rise. From retro knit tanks to flowing patterned skirts, we’ve gathered our favorite layers from Walmart so you can stay cool — without breaking the bank. You decide how to spend your days in the sun, and we’ll send you on your way with 12 versatile pieces for your breeziest summer yet.

Keep cool in a summer swelter with a top that’s loose, yet full of eye-catching details. A stylish crochet tank lets the air in as you stand out, whether it’s with feminine ruffles or a ‘70s halter. Mix things up with a sky-blue peasant top, or go classic with a white button-up over a swimsuit or to dress up your favorite shorts.

A swimsuit that doubles as a bodysuit is the quickest, most fashionable route out of the water — pull on your skirt and sandals, and off you go. For a touch more drama post-poolside, opt for details like color-blocking, cut-outs, grommets, or asymmetrical necklines. Dial up the glamour in a ruffled, off-the-shoulder number under a maxi skirt.

Having a few skirts and dresses on hand, both maxi and mini, is the key to an effortless summer uniform. A tiered, woven dress is casual enough for the pool, but can easily be dressed up with glittery earrings and a clutch. Florals will return strong this season, so pair a patterned skirt or wrap dress with heeled sandals for breezy evening look.
