Budget-Friendly Summer Outfits From Target

We all know that great style doesn’t have a price tag. It’s all about choosing shapes and colors that flatter your body, work with your personal style, and make you feel like a million bucks. Today I have several budget-friendly summer outfits from Target that are big on style, great quality, and perfect for the warm days ahead.

This linen blend shirt dress is fabulous. It comes in this blue, white, or cream stripe in sizes XS -4X. I’m wearing a small and it’s quite roomy so I could belt it if I wanted. They show the sleeves folded up so I may try that next time I wear it. It’s completely opaque in this color so I didn’t need a slip, making things easier in the summer.

I paired it with these Mad Love sandals with the cork footbed. I have to say, walking on cork is pretty darn comfy. It absorbs shock and the adjustable straps mean they fit over my bunion. I’ve never worn this type of sandal before and I’m surprised to find I’m hooked on the comfort! I added this paper straw Panama hat and this large canvas tote bag which will hold a ton of stuff. I went with black accents in this look because they pop against the strong blue dress.

I can never have too many fresh white cotton tees in my summer wardrobe, and I never overspend on them. This one has my favorite V-neckline and is sized XS-4X. I’m wearing a medium because I like mine on the roomy side. Ā I paired it with this linen-blend midi skirt that’s an easy-breezy shape to just pull on and go. It has a smocked waist and side pockets in this soft cream and white stripe. I am wearing an XS and think it runs TTS.

I accessorized with these super comfy sandals and a round straw crossbody bag. The sandals have a molded footbed and are made from eco-friendly recycled materials. The straw bag has a zip closure, an adjustable strap, and is really adorable!

MORE LIGHTWEIGHT SKIRTS

I love these high-rise wide-leg linen blend pants! They’re super comfy and cool for a breezy look that’s perfect for the hot weather. You could dress these up or all the way down to cover your bathing suit. They come in several colors, XS-4X. I’m wearing an XS find they run large so size down.

I paired them with this long sleeve linen blend buttondown shirt in a fresh pink and white stripe. It’s long enough to wear over slim pants or leggings and soft enough to tie at the waist. This shirt comes in lots of solid colors too in sizes XS-4X.Ā  I am wearing a small and it’s plenty of room so runs TTS.Ā I accessorized this look with this round straw shoulder bag and these super comfy silver sandals with the cork footbed.

Classic blue and white gingham is such a fun and timeless pattern for summer. This cotton blend midi skirt is lightweight and perfect for warm days. It has a high-rise smocked waistband that simply pulls on and an A-line silhouette with trending tiers.

I paired it with this oversized poplin shirt. It comes in ten colors, sizes XS-4X. Target white shirts have had a place in my wardrobe for as long as I can remember. This oversized one would double as a bathing suit coverup and go with tons of bottoms, depending on how you style it. I’m wearing a medium.

I accessorized with the silver, cork-soled sandals again and this little straw crossbody bag. I love the weave of this bag that reminds me of bags at 10 times its price. It has an interior zip pocket and drawstring closure that helps keep things in their place.

MORE STRAW BAGS

Target is one of the best places to find great summer essentials for the whole family at budget-friendly prices. It’s easy to refresh your wardrobe with fashion-forward and classic tops, shorts, pants, and dresses for your casual lifestyle.

I also find Target incredibly convenient because I can pick up a tee shirt or two while I’m buying my laundry soap, toiletries, and charge cords for my phone :)!

A big thank you to Target for sponsoring this post!

  1. Hi Jennifer
    I love the looks on the post. Target is one of my go to for clothes. On the other hand the reviews for both of the bags you show in these outfits, are really bad. Straps falling and such. Did you read the reviews?

  2. Love the jean dress and you look adorable in the hat!!! Great look for you!

  3. I have not considered Target for clothes in the past but have picked up several things in the past year. Great shorts, tees and dresses in natural fibers. Weā€™ll prices and good quality so far!

  4. I really liked how you put together the target outfits. I don’t seem to find these clothes at my target or else I’m just not looking.

    1. Online has the best selection because the stores seem picked over

  5. Jennifer, the blue shirt dress with big patch pockets is the first thing Iā€™ve seen that looks terrible on you. It looks 2 sizes too large and actually makes you look short and wide. I guess a belt canā€™t save it or you would have tried it.

  6. Loving that blue shade of the dress! As to the ‘new day straw’ crossbody purse, have been stalking one ‘very’ similar in design hoping its price of $925.00 Cdn. ….. šŸ˜² …… will come down as not about to pay such since our summer is so short! On that note; from what you have shown today, wish Target would reconsider reopening their doors in Canada again as do appreciate non-inflated pricing and a vast selection under one roof. -Brenda-

    1. I remember Target’s foray into Canada and it was just not the same.

  7. I shop at Target for the same reasons you do. When I’m planning a trip I like the smaller-sized trial products like lotions, deodorant, band-aids, and other items. They come in handy and don’t weigh much or spill. They have a big selection of these.
    Wow! The striped shirt and black pants are a bargain. The other outfits are a good alternative to specialty stores to keep up to date and stay cool on a budget.
    You have great style!

  8. Linda Henderson says:

    Really like the styles you put together. The gingham skirt with white tops and metallic sandals may be my favorite.

    1. I love how comfy those sandals are.

  9. I haven’t been in Target in years b/c of pandemic and there’s not one near me. Thanks to your post, though, I’ll order some things on line. I especially like the dress and skirt options. Thanks!

  10. Target has really stepped up their fashion game – there’s some really cute styles there right now, and you rounded up several of them! I have to buy petite, so I usually have to go online. That said, I usually can wear their t’s no problem, and last season I found the softest long sleeve crew neck t’s. They’re amazing and my favorite!

    1. I agree about their styles this year.

  11. I have the cotton v neck tee in a pretty blue. So comfortable. I also own the wide-leg pants in black. Target is a great store for reasonably priced summer essentials.

    I’m a big fan of Target fashion and have been very lucky with finding some fabulous pieces.

  13. Hello: Thanks for this fun post. The large canvas tote link goes to the straw hat.

    Mary

    1. Thanks Mary, I fixed it.

  14. Other than cotton tank tops that I used as camis in the summer, it has been years since I have checked out Target for clothes. Thanks to your post I ordered the oversized linen blend shirt in black and found some flat slide sandals for only $19.99. Looking forward to their arrival. Nice to have a truly inexpensive alternative.

    1. I think you’ll find the quality very nice too.

  15. I have shopped Target for tops this summer. The prices are great. I go there for food snd other things I need.

  16. Love the shirt dress.
    I know Target has cute things. Shop a lot for my Grandkids. Very nice styles. Love that I can pick up almost anything and good cloths too. One stop shopping.

  17. Thank you for presenting Target fashions! I am always looking for ways to shop for more reasonably priced clothing! I will be picking up a T shirt and love the pink striped shirt!

  18. Is the pink in the striped shirt a true pink or more like coral? The pictures look more coral.

    1. It is a warm pink but not all the way to coral

  19. Love that you show a variety of pieces in each post. Target clothes are well priced and the quality is better than others of the same price point.

  20. Thanks for sharing these classic looks that always work. I think I would pass on the gingham skirt. It would not be flattering on me, but it looks great on you. I like the straw handbag, too. I will re-think Target. I have bought a lot of work out clothes there in the past.

  21. Thank you for showing us all these very attractive and affordable Target outfits. I love linen/linen blends in the summer and appreciate that several of these styles include pockets. Some of them are out of stock outline, but perhaps still available in the stores. I’ve always enjoyed Target as my go-to affordable fun shopping trip.

    1. My store still has them so yours may too:)
