5 Viral TikTok Fashion Looks You Can Get for Less at Walmart
’90s-Inspired
Gen Z is the driving force behind the most viral TikTok trends, so it’s no wonder that ’90s fashion is enjoying such a moment right now. It’s the era that defined most Gen Zers parents, making it super easy to raid their closets for “retro” finds like faded denim, baggy flannels, baby tees, biker shorts, oversized crewneck sweatshirts and accessories like claw clips and choker necklaces. From grunge rock-era Winona Ryder and the girl-powered femininity of the Spice Girls, to the effortlessly cool and casual vibes of stars like Jennifer Aniston and Aaliyah, the 1990s saw a range of styles that are super easy to pull off today.
Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara Melisa High-Rise Super Flare Jeans
Fashion in the ’90s pulled heavily from the 1970s (because everything old is new again… every 20-30 years or so), especially when it came to denim. Think high-rise waists, light washes and super-flared at the ankle — just like this affordable pair of jeans from Sofia Vergara’s line of stylish, on-trend denim. We especially love this pair because its angled seams add a fun, modern twist that really catches the eye.
Price: $32.50
Time and Tru Flannel Shirt
An oversized, plaid flannel button-down is a must in any ’90s-inspired wardrobe. You can throw it on over any outfit, just like the similarly trendy shacket of recent years. But to harness the true grunge vibes of this staple, you’ll want to go for darker, more gender-neutral hues, and pair it with a ’90s band tee, baggy jeans and combat boots to complete the whole aesthetic.
Price: $14.98
Time and Tru Claw Hair Clips
Nothing is more effortlessly stylish than whipping your hair up into one of these neutral-toned claw clips. The re-surging hair accessory is like the ’90s answer to the messy bun, except they make it even faster and easier to achieve the look. A very budget-friendly way to banish your bad hair days, these claw clips are universally beloved, taming curly manes and straight strands alike.
Price: $6.88
Coastal Grandma
If you dream of summering in the Hamptons or harnessing your inner Diane Keaton in any Nancy Meyers movie, coastal grandma chic is the viral TikTok style you need to try out. It’s a “trend” that’s really more timeless than it is trendy — favoring classic silhouettes, layered looks and often monochromatic color palettes. To nail the look, you’ll want to incorporate knit sweaters, crisp button-downs, breezy dresses, sleek trousers, blazers, loafers and flats in muted, neutral tones — with the occasional blue-and-white nautical stripe thrown in for good measure.
ELOQUII Elements Plus-Size Chambray Dress
This light and breezy cotton dress is poised to give you the most immaculate coastal grandma vibes from spring all the way through summer — even if you never get within 1,000 miles of any given shoreline. Its cute puffed sleeves and smocked bodice offer structure and flirtiness that make the trend even more accessible to fashionistas of any age.
Price: $36
Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara Cutout Cable Sweater
Give the coastal grandmother aesthetic a spin without feeling like you actually raided a grandma’s closet thanks to this stylish cable-knit sweater. It’s classic with its ribbed-knit mockneck, cuffs and hem, but its cute peek-a-boo shoulder cutout injects just the right amount of Sofia Vergara-esque sexiness.
Price: $18, $32
ELOQUII Elements Plus-Size Jogger Pants
Linen pants offer an easy, breezy way to incorporate these coveted “coastal resort chic” vibes into your wardrobe. They pair well with everything from sweaters to button-downs, and their elasticized cuffs give them an on-trend jogger silhouette that’s cool and casual.
Price: $24
Balletcore
Even if you’ve never danced a day in your life, you can still get in on this sleek fashion trend inspired by the ballerina lifestyle. Balletcore is all about incorporating common ballet style elements into your everyday wardrobe. Think bodysuits, leg warmers, tulle skirts and a pair of ballet flats to keep the style en pointe.
Free Assembly V-Neck Bodysuit With Blouson Sleeves
Bodysuits are quintessential to balletcore as they evoke the classic dancer’s leotard. This simple yet stylish option in ballerina-beloved pink adds some flirtiness and flair with its pretty blouson sleeves. Just slip on a pair of your favorite jeans and your balletcore-inspired outfit is complete.
Price: $10, $18
ELOQUII Elements Plus Size Ruffle Yoke Sweater
All things pink are ideal for a ballerina-inspired aesthetic, so you know this pretty, puffy-sleeved sweater is a perfect fit. It’s lightweight enough for cool spring days, and the pretty V yoke some fun and femininity. We obviously love it in this blush pink hue to fit the trend, but it’s available in striking rumba red— and the price is just right to get both!
Price: $9.99, $25
Sam & Libby Women’s Casual Britt Ballet Flat
What would a balletcore-inspired outfit be without some ballet flats? Keep your footwear aligned with the trend thanks to these slightly scrunched, square-toed casual flats in the color “Ballet Pink” (of course).
Price: $17
Moto-Inspired
The moto-inspired fashion trend has inspired millions of TikTok views from fashionistas on the hunt for the perfect moto jacket. The whole aesthetic pairs well with dark lace — especially corsets, a very trendy staple of its own accord — and faux-leather everything. We’re talking pants, boots, blazers, skirts; anything with a leather look is in — and it’s totally acceptable to layer multiple pieces together.
Celsius Faux Leather Jacket With Varsity Stripes
Sure, you can pull off motto style without a motorcycle jacket, but why would you want to when this stylish, faux-leather option is so affordable? Hitting right above the hips, it’s the perfect silhouette to complement baggy-fit pants without making you look too boxy. Best of all, it has bold pops of color in its stripes that help give this edgy classic a modern and trendy twist.
Price: $24.99
Madden NYC Lace Corset Top
Tap into the ultimate leather-and-lace vibe by layering your moto jacket over this cropped lace corset. It’s a little edgy, a lot of sexy and 100% on trend. You can get it in black to keep with the monochromatic theme (also super trendy right now), or you can opt for a pop of color instead. At this price, we’re tempted to get one in every color they have!
Price: $15
Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara High-Rise Faux Leather Shorts
You can keep the motto trend alive as the warm weather rolls in thanks to these super cute faux leather shorts. With a high rise to hug your curves and a sweet tie-front belt, they add fun and flirty style to the overall edginess of this leather-based aesthetic. Plus, they’re priced just right to keep your whole ensemble under budget.
Price: $28
Rom-Com Core
Quickly surging to the forefront of TikTok fashion trends, rom-com core is all about channeling the style of our favorite heroines from Y2K-era romantic comedies. The late ’90s and early aughts saw grunge-inspired plaids mesh with preppy pink color schemes and sleek silhouettes throughout classics like Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, and 13 Going on 30. Today’s fashionistas are recreating the often hyper-feminine style with slip dresses, cropped cardigans, peep-toe shoes, mini skirts and halter tops — to name just a few core pieces.
Smart & Sexy Naked Slip Dress
Tap into the main character energy of Cher Horowitz and Jenna Rink with this sleek and simple slip dress. In this sweet blushing rose hue, it provides the perfect base to layer in your own personal style. And, it’s affordable enough to leave lots of room in your budget to add your own flair and pops of personality — perhaps paired with a cropped cardigan or funky shoes.
Price: $24
No Boundaries Cropped Plaid Cardigan Sweater
As the ’90s grunge era slowly morphed into the preppy perfection of the early aughts, plaid knits like this cropped cardigan became a must-have for rom-com heroines and all their fans. The closet staple is back in a big way, and this neutral-toned choice offers a relaxed fit to balance out the relative skimpiness of a silky slip dress.
Price: $16.98
Fuzzy Platform Wedge Heeled Sandals
Add undeniable Y2K-inspired personality to your ensemble with this pair of fuzzy, pink, peep-toe shoes. Made from faux suede and what can only be described as the most incredible pink fluff, these platform wedges are about as Clueless as you can get.
Price: $29
