After all, Walmart isn’t exactly known for trendy clothing, but these new lines could change all that. Retail insiders are dubbing the new look Walmarché, a play on Target’s alias, Targét.
Both of Walmart’s new clothing lines are inclusive: Time and Tru is a straight-size line that goes up to a size 3XL, while Terra and Sky starts at 14W and goes up to 30W. The lines are also made to be interchangeable for women who are straight-size on top but plus-size on the bottom.
After hearing this news, Kayla and I knew we had to try out the clothes.
Peasant dress ($16.84, Walmart)
“I thought it was very true to size and very comfortable,” she said. Plus, the length of the dress could help prevent any wardrobe malfunctions. “As a curvy woman, I don’t like to have to worry about my butt hanging out,” she said.
Peasant dress ($16.48, Walmart)
I’m always afraid to wear very bright colors during the springtime, so it was nice to have an item that I could potentially wear during other seasons.
Shirt dress ($18.84, Walmart)
Kayla liked the versatility of the dress, but had a difficult time with the sleeves.
Grey jumpsuit ($16.94, Walmart)
I’m generally a fan of jumpsuits, but the details on Walmart’s version in particular caught my eye.
Tie sleeve top ($15.44, Walmart)
Kayla wore a size XL in the Time and Tru top and a size 18W in the jeans.
Floral printed jean ($21.92, Walmart)
After looking at the $21.92 price, Kayla was ready to immediately buy the jeans, but the Walmart party train wasn’t over yet.
Ruffle T-shirt ($10.94, Walmart)
She found the top to be true-to-size. “It was very soft and loose,” she noted.
Flutter sleeve top ($12.87, Walmart)
One of my biggest fashion fears is that an off-the-shoulder top will slip down. Thankfully, the top, which I tried in a medium, stayed put!
Super skinny ankle jean ($16.94, Walmart)
The jeans felt super soft, and weren’t extremely tight (but still had the appearance of skinny jeans). If jeggings and jeans had a baby, then it would probably be these pants.
Denim shorts ($13.86, Walmart)
Everyone knows how tricky shorts can be. Shorts can often ride up in the middle, causing chafe city to happen. But thanks to the folded hemline, the shorts didn’t really ride up. I liked the length of the shorts too, since they weren’t booty shorts or Bermuda shorts.
Time and Tru sandal ($9.88, Walmart)
I’m a fan of braided sandals in general so I was really excited to try them on, but we both had issues with fit at first. It was tight around our feet, and for Kayla, it was difficult to fasten initially. However, after breaking them in, they seemed to fit a lot better and we felt more positive about them.
However, Kayla would’ve liked some of the pieces to be more trendy. “Moving forward, I think the brands should incorporate a larger variety of trends, maybe a little more aspects of current street style,” Kayla said.
Still, this was a minor downside. Although this is just the beginning of these two brands, I’m already planning my fall wardrobe. The Walmart lines are definitely Revelist-approved.
