You know how Millennials’ go-to going out outfit is jeans and a cute top? Well, the summertime outfit of choice is shorts and a loose-fitting top. This combo is not only super flattering, it’s also a foolproof way to look put together! While you really only need one solid pair of shorts, it’s a good idea to have a variety of flowy tops on hand. No need to splurge, though. There are plenty that are budget-friendly and available at Walmart. Shop our favorite picks below!
1. Your New Favorite Tee: Newsflash! You don’t need to spend a crazy amount of money to get a sturdy tee that beautifully drapes over your body. The Moshu V-neck has over 1,000 positive reviews, feels ultra soft, and, best of all, is under $15!
2. Sporty Scoop Neck: There’s a cardinal rule when it comes to T-shirts — you need to have at least three with different necklines. The scoop neck tee often gets forgotten, but it’s also the most flattering. Add this color-block option to your closet and watch the compliments roll in.
3. All in the Details: Banish all ideas that loose-fitting tops are frumpy. This design — which features a textured chiffon overlay and dainty lace sleeves — exudes an air of elegance. Wear it to brunch or the office!
4. Summer Staple: A breezy sleeveless blouse is a cornerstone piece in any wardrobe. While there are plenty to choose from, this pretty floral option from Uvplove is hard to beat and will never go out of style.
5. Casually Professional: Button-ups don’t always have to look so corporate. This breezy blouse gives off a beachy vibe that’s still appropriate for those days spent in the office.
6. Vacation Must-Have: There’s something about a romantic off-the-shoulder top that screams, “I’m at the beach!” The loose fit on this pick will have you feeling confident, not matter where you’re traveling to.

10. Taylor Swift Coded: You can’t look at this graphic tee and tell me it doesn’t remind you of Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department album cover with its literary print!
11. Rich Mom Dreams: Even if you’re not a rich mom (yet!) you can manifest that energy by wearing this sleeveless top with some linen pants.
