In the ever-evolving, shape-shifting space of social media, one platform leads the charge in setting trends. Perhaps best known for influencing everything from dance crazes to culinary experiments, TikTok has become the number one destination for unearthing buzz-worthy products you didn’t know you needed.
We now live in a world where if an item is reviewed on the platform, it can go viral in an instant and, in turn, sell out for months. Products in specific categories move faster than others, and if you’ve recently taken to your phone to look up “fashion” on TikTok, chances are you’ll have come across a bevy of users showcasing their surprising fashionable finds from big box retailers. One such retailer has been garnering a lot of attention for its spring and summer offerings, and its rise in the style arena has not gone unnoticed by creators and our fashion-forward editors alike: Walmart’s latest collection of apparel has had shoppers dropping everything (including their jaws) and sprinting to their local stores to pick up stylishly affordable clothing, accessories, and more.
To save you from hours of endless scrolling, we’ve done the heavy lifting to round up all the shockingly good fashion finds at Walmart that are gaining fame on TikTok. These picks, for both men and women, come highly-rated by happy consumers — including our own editors — and range from products that have already gone viral over the past couple of months and are now back in stock on Walmart’s site, to new, buzz-worthy features from the store’s exclusive brands.If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe ready for the new season, we suggest you act quickly as these stylish discoveries and deals on men’s and women’s apparel won’t be around for long.

I wear them on weekends and also to the office. I sized up twice but probably didn’t need to. Men probably should take a size or two above their normal measurements.”

Complete the look with the featured Avia sneakers (both available now at Walmart).

Reasonably priced and available in a number of shades, customers love these so much they’ve picked up multiple pairs to wear with sneakers and polished, in-office kicks. And don’t worry, these won’t weigh you down with thick, uncomfortable denim, the brand notes that these are composed of 99% cotton and 1% spandex — that reviewers rave are perfect if you’re “looking for a light pair of jeans to wear in the summer.”

Scoop Women’s Ultimate ScubaKnit V-Neck Sweatshirt
Available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors
Even if the temperatures are on the rise, you’ll probably still be reaching for a top layer during chillier days in the office or breezing evenings in the season. If you’re ready to ditch your bulky, pilled sweatshirt, that’s gone through so many washes it’s not even remotely soft anymore, may we suggest making an upgrade for this top-rated ScubaKnit V-Neck Sweatshirt? It features a unique high neck in the rear and exaggerated cuffs through the drop shoulder and relaxed-fit sleeves. If you’re in need of a matching set, grab the coordinating ScubaKnit Pants — before they sell out.
