Wait, is Walmart cool now?

I have a question — a serious one, don't laugh: Is Walmart actually cool now? On TikTok and Instagram, people are showing off Walmart"hauls" — particularly for kids' clothing. These videos tend to be similar: excited shoppers going through a bag of clothes still on the hanger and admiring each item, often expressing surprise or shock that the piece of clothing is so cute or trendy, considering it's from Walmart. One TikTok creator who posts videos of fashion and home items mostly from Target recently posted a video of her cart at Walmart with the caption "WALMART IS THAT GIRL 👏🏽 ." In another video, a woman shows off the plastic tumbler glasses in the Walmart home section, marveling, "Doesn't this scream Anthro vibes?" nodding to much more expensive Anthropologie. In the comments on her video, someone writes, "Walmart is really stepping it up!" Maybe Walmart really is stepping it up. Breann Day, a mom of two, recently made one of those haul videos — not sponsored by Walmart, she confirmed to me — expressing surprise at the "elite" baby clothes she picked up. She held up a tiny pair of baby shorts. "Three dollars! Target could never!" "I like it more than Target," Day told me. She said a house brand at Target, Cat & Jack, seems to "never change," especially for boys' clothes. The selection for girls' clothes is still better at Target, she says, but "I can find just as cute — and cheaper — from Walmart." Personally, I can say that I, too, have found the appeal of Walmart's Wonder Nation kids' line. It rivals the slightly higher-priced Cat & Jack line from Target, which was previously a staple for my two kids. For instance: My daughter loves a poufy dress; at Walmart, there is a dress that comes in 14 different colors for $9.98; Target's Cat & Jack has a similar dress that comes in only three colors for $15.00. After her $27.99 light-up Elsa sneakers from Target sprang a hole, I replaced them with nearly identical non-light-up "Frozen" sneakers for $13.96 from Walmart. As I have shopped Walmart for kids' clothes, I've also picked up some clothing for myself. I have a pair of pajama sets from Walmart's Joyspun label, which is cheaper than the comparable version from Target. I even wore a floral print shirt dress from the Free Assembly line — a Walmart house brand! — to a casual outdoor wedding. Online clothing sales are up 23% this year at Walmart Something must be working when it comes to clothes at Walmart. Sales are up a lot over the past year. In 2017, Walmart hired Denise Incandela, an executive from Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue, to attempt to revamp its fashion offerings. By 2020, Walmart had launched two apparel brands, Scoop and Free Assembly. Both had trendier clothes than dowdy Walmart had come to be known for. Incandela overhauled the in-store displays, decluttering racks, and using mannequins for a more department store vibe. ("Every time we put stuff on a mannequin, it sells," Incandela told Fortune in a recent interview.) Walmart didn't respond to my request for comment. In its most recent earnings call, US division CEO John Furner called out its fashion specifically, saying he was "really proud of the progress in apparel." This isn't the first time Walmart has tried decluttering to compete with Target. There was its 2009 "Project Impact" initiative, for instance. This time, something seems to be working. Walmart got me in one of its dresses, after all! EMARKETER, BI's sister company, reports that Walmart's e-commerce sales for the apparel, footwear, and accessories category were 23% higher in 2024 than in the previous year. And the analysts there are projecting 18% growth for 2025. In comparison, EMARKETER projects that Amazon will see 3.9% growth in 2025 for its clothing category. And Target will see only a 1.5% rise in its online apparel sales, they predict. Exactly what is driving Walmart's growth in clothes is a mix of things. Shoppers may be more price-sensitive overall, looking for clothing bargains. Tariffs had a bigger impact on retailers like Shein, which makes and ships much of its clothing directly from China. Wealthier shoppers come to Walmart for deals on eggs, and stay for the clothes Walmart has seen notable growth in its wealthier customers. In a recent call with investors, CFO John David Rainey told investors that one of the biggest contributors to its sales had been households that made more than $100,000 a year. He said high-income customers had also been looking for deals as inflation took a bite from all but the biggest of budgets. Lots of growth has come from its private-label grocery items — and food and beverage make up about 60% of Walmart's overall sales. Some of those people are browsing the aisles for clothes, too. Walmart is getting trendier in other categories, too It's not just clothing where Walmart seems to be trending. Its BetterGoods private-label foods are meant to rival Target's Good & Gather brand, and there are more high-end offerings in food, too. Eater reported that Walmart has started carrying some of the trendiest new pantry items. Packaged items that you'd expect to see at Whole Foods or shoppy-shops — things like Fly by Jing chili flake sauce, Magic Spoon cereal, Van Leeuwen ice cream, and Bachan's Japanese barbecue sauce. In the beauty category, Walmart has added more prestige brands, although its offerings in that category are much slimmer than Target, which has an Ulta partnership to bring more high-end makeup and hair care brands into stores. Target might be losing some sparkle This all comes at a time when Walmart's chief rival, Target, is struggling in some areas. For a long time, Target had the appeal of "Tar-zhay," a place you could get stylish items for cheap. Their well-publicized designer collaborations for clothing would often sell out quickly. Lately, Target seems to have lost some of its sparkle. On social media, people talked about boycotting the retailer over changes to its corporate DEI policies. Target's net sales were down about 2.8% in the first quarter of this year from the same time last year. Target's CEO at the time said he was "not satisfied" with its performance and had a plan for stronger growth. Walmart is stealing some of Target's thunder As for me and Walmart, I see the allure of its clothing. I come in for the cheapest organic milk around and always seem to end up browsing the new kids' clothes. And as a bargain fiend, my favorite part about wearing a Walmart dress to a wedding was telling people it was from — can you believe it? — Walmart.

If you've ever wondered which products shopping editors actually buy and use outside of work, you're not alone. I was curious, so I polled Forbes Vetted writers and editors to find out what they're loving this month.

With these codes, you can save up to 35% on picks from Dagne Dover, Brightland, Everlane and more. Shop our editor's favorite products this month for less with these exclusive discounts. Whether you're looking for a gift, like a Keap Candle Subscription, an enrichment toy for your furry friend, or the perfect summer short, these exclusive deals will come in handy. In fact, some of the promo codes extend to the brands' entire sites—not just our editors' favorite items. All of the discounts below will be live through June 23. Read on for the products we can't stop talking about this month, all on sale. Keap Candles I love candles, but I'm extremely particular about scents. Keap has a knack for creating rich, gorgeous scents that aren't overwhelming. This woodsy scent is an all-time favorite of mine. You can pick up an individual candle or treat yourself to a subscription for 15% off with code VETTEDFORSUMMER. Just note that the brand gave its team a summer holiday, so orders won't ship until June 23. Everlane Everlane is my one-stop shop for wardrobe staples, particularly pants and shorts. Anyone who's ever set off to find the perfect pair of pants only to return home demoralized and empty handed knows what a big deal it is to find your brand. Everlane meets all my requirements: Its pieces are simple, well-made and versatile. This classic short is made of a substantial material with deep pockets and a comfortable (but not overly roomy) fit. Try them out for 20% off with code FORBES20. Ere Perez Natural Cosmetics If sensitive skin makes it difficult for you to find the right makeup, updates writer Claire Epting recommends this foundation. 'This foundation is seriously the best—it has a dewy finish, it's easily buildable and looks so natural,' she says. 'I only use a little bit at a time for my everyday look, so I know the bottle will last a while.' And speaking of the bottle: It's made from recycled plastic, another plus. This 20% discount is also good for its Corn Setting Powder, the Lychee Crème Corrector and the Arnica All Cover Pot. Dange Dover Looking to swap your belt bag out for something that can also fit your water bottle? Code FORBES gets you 20% off this chic Dagne Dover design. 'With the weather finally getting nicer here in New York City, this Dagne Dover bag has become my go-to accessory,' says supervising deals and coupons editor Kara Cuzzone. 'It's perfect for dog park trips and long afternoon walks. I love that I can secure my water bottle (or my dog's) in the center and throw it over my should so that I'm hands-free.' It also allots plenty of space for other essentials, like your phone and keys, so you don't have to double up with a second bag. Brightland If you love cooking, kids and baby gear editor Esther Carlstone has a not-so-secret ingredient she loves adding to meals: Brightland's Pizza Oil. 'On top of pizza, on avocado toast or even eggs, I use this bright and zingy oil on so many things for extra oomph,' she says. Use code FORBES15 to save 15% on the oil as well as the Pizza Night Set, which includes the popular Alive Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and Rapture Balsamic Vinegar. Cozy Earth I know it's getting hot outside, but a great blanket is never out of season. I drag this blanket everywhere I go in the house. It's perfect for a movie night or an afternoon curled up with a good book. The blanket is silky and soft, and it doesn't cling to pet hair as intensely as many other blanket in my linen closet. Plus, it has a satisfying, soothing weight to it. Cozy Earth often offers up to 30% off sitewide, but this 35% discount is a nice chance to save a little extra. Use code FORBESVETTED to save. MDSolarSciences™ I helped test products for our list of the best sunscreens and this mineral formula was my favorite. It's the first sunscreen I've ever owned that I don't dread putting on. It spread like wildfire through my friend group for multiple reasons: It goes on incredibly smooth, it doesn't smell, it's not sticky and it's great for sensitive skin. Use code FORBES to save 35% on this bottle. You can also use the code for 35% off the 1.7-ounce bottle of the Mineral Crème SPF 50. Pura Deals and coupons writer Bianca Alvarez loves all of Pura's diffusers, especially this portable design. 'It's perfectly compact and small enough to fit into my cup holder, plus it's easy to use,' she says. "When I tap it on, the scent fills up the car to just the perfect amount where people compliment [it] without getting overwhelmed." The discount also applies to all fragrances when you use code PURAVETTED. Woof 'The Woof Pupsicle is one of the best dog enrichment toys on the market in my opinion,' says managing editor Emmy Favilla. 'It keeps both my 5-year-old and 14-year-old large dogs busy (and it's also the first 'toy' that my aunt's senior dog has played with in years). It's basically a spherical, durable container they can chew that you pop one of their treat balls into—or you can make your own with Woof's mix—and it's a great way to keep them entertained without having to worry about squeakers or choking hazards." Use code FORBES15 to save 15% on orders of $25 or more. Youth To The People Deals editor Maya Gandara has been obsessed with this eye cream for years. 'It's one of the few formulas I've actually seen make a difference,' she says. 'I deal with puffiness (and more recently, dark circles) around my eye area, and this cream helps minimize both concerns effectively. I love that it sinks in quickly, feels lightweight on the skin and doesn't pill when makeup is applied over it.' The formula also has a slight shimmer that immediately brightens the skin and makes you look more awake. Take advantage of 15% off sitewide (minus new launches) with code FORBES15. Tippy Type Senior distribution strategist Kristina Bornholtz is our North Star to all things cool—from the practical to the esoteric. 'I'm obsessed with my Tippy Type. Everyone here knows that I love my press-on nails, but it can be hard to type on the Mac keyboard with them on. The Tippy Type is basically a silicone keyboard cover with 'lifts' that make it easier to type with long nails.' If you have a similar lament, use this link to grab a cover for yourself in a variety of colors at 20% off. Everlane This is easily my favorite and most convenient bag. I bought it as a daypack for a big trip abroad this year, and it was perfect. It's simple, durable and doesn't look goofy. It also holds a surprising amount for the size, including my phone, wallet, a portable charger and even a Sony handy-cam. Another bonus: The adjustable strap doesn't have a buckle, so you don't have to worry about it unclipping (or being unclipped) unexpectedly. Use code FORBES20 to take 20% off now. Naturium Another sensitive skin win, Alverez is a big fan of Naturium's effective and gentle formulas. 'I need a moisturizing body lotion, but in the summer I prefer something lightweight that layers under my sunscreen without feeling sticky, heavy and greasy. This is perfect," she says. 'It's fast absorbing, reduces any dullness and leaves a hydrating glow on my skin.' She's also uses its Phyto-Glow Lip Mask day and night and recommends its Calmer Ceremide Body Wash that she says is a 'godsend for my dry, exzcema-prone skin.' Use code FORBES15 to take 15% off all of the products above. Cozy Earth Much like sheets, towels are one of those daily luxuries that are worth the splurge. These plush bath sheets from Cozy Earth have been my favorite towels for a while now. They're soft and just push enough without sacrificing absorbency. If you prefer a waffle towel, I'm also a fan of its Waffle Bath Sheet. It's a little more structured and textured, but equally effective at getting you dry. You can grab both (and anything else on the site) for 35% off with code FORBESVETTED. Purple Carrot I've tried a handful of meal delivery services and, despite not being vegan, Purple Carrot is my favorite by far. Its recipes are interesting and always delicious, and I use some of the techniques and recipes I've learned from it in my own cooking adventures. If you're curious about implementing a few meatless days into your meal plan—or simply tired of the Sisyphean task of deciding what to eat every week—get your first order for 50% off right now with code FORBES.

Target's $9 Snack Boxes Are My All-Time Hack for Busy Moms with Tweens On the Go

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, SheKnows may receive an affiliate commission. For moms with tweens involved in sports and other activities, finding the time to ensure your kids are properly fueled for the day can be challenging. My daughter is in all-star cheer and just took on school cheer this year, so most of our after-school time was spent running to and from practices. That means that my nag was always filled with wasteful l ziplock bags that would get lost in the car. That's where snackle boxes came in to help. I discovered them by scrolling TikTok (of course) and had to grab a few. Luckily, Target has them for under $10! More from SheKnows Tory Burch's Semi-Annual Sale Is Back With a *Ton* of Cute Sandals for Less Than $90 - Including Millers! Today's Top Deals How Do You Raise Good Kids in Terrifying Times?

We've taken it on flights and long road trips, and it's always a hit with our family! $9 Buy Now The Melii Snackle Box Mini offers six compartments. Each section keeps snacks separate, making it perfect for kids who prefer their food not to touch. I typically create a fun snack scheme — sometimes with fruits and cheese, and others with other snacks and sweet treats. It's also fun to get your kids involved and let them create a snackle box for themselves. The snack box is so convenient and makes being on-the-go a breeze for families, but don't just take my word for it. Here's what other parents are saying. 'Perfect for snacks on the go, minimizes the number of containers I've been bringing with us in the past,' one wrote. 'Brilliant for on-the-go snacks when out and about; also keeps them separate if you have fussy kids like mine,' another mom wrote. 'I also use them for myself, too.' 'This snack box has been a total game-changer for our family!' a final reviewer wrote. 'The six compartments are perfectly sized for portioning out a variety of snacks—fruits, crackers, cheese cubes, nuts, even small treats. I use it for my twins, and it helps keep their snacks organized and mess-free, especially on the go. Overall, I love how it simplifies snack prep and reduces waste from using multiple bags or containers. Great for both kids and adults.' Head to Target now to stock up on the snack boxes. But hurry!
