Reese Witherspoon always looks good, and you will too in these affordable styles from her clothing line at Kohl's. (Kohl's)(Kohl's)
There are lots of reasons to love summer, but spending money at every turn isn't one of them. Between camps for the kids, food for weekend BBQs and a nice getaway before temps drop, this season can be really expensive. And let's not forget, you need weather-appropriate clothes and accessories, too. If you'd rather spend your dough on the important things (like sunscreen and pool floats, of course), but still want to look good, here's my advice: head over to Kohl's. This weekend, the retailer is hosting a sitewide sale, and hundreds of items are 20% off when you use code SAVINGS20 at checkout.
You really can't go wrong with wardrobe staples from any of the in-house brands at Kohl's. Croft & Barrow and Sonoma Goods for Life are two of my faves for timeless basics, but for trendier pieces, I really like Reese Witherspoon's Draper James collection. They all have that charming Southern aesthetic, and look and feel way more expensive than they are. That's especially true right now, when many of the styles are on major markdown. This pretty pointelle tank that'll pair perfectly with white jeans is less than $20, and this adorable lemon-print tankini top is down to just $22.
Scoring celeb-approved clothing usually means forking over serious cash, which makes these Draper James deals even more swoon-worthy. Grab a few for yourself before they're gone.
Available in four colors, you can afford to buy multiples of this pretty top while it's just $16. The bodice looks and feels as comfy as your favorite tee, but the embroidered sleeves make it feel a bit fancier.
"I received one of these as a gift and immediately went and bought one in every color left in stock. The fit is perfect, the material is soft, and it is reasonably priced. I'm extremely happy with my purchase," one fan shared.
Not sure what to wear with white jeans, pants or shorts this season? Try this vibrant striped tank for a nautical, 'old money' look. Though this top is made from a knit cotton blend, it's not at all heavy and the pointelle details means a cool breeze can easily pass through.
Fruit prints are everywhere this season, including this sweet swimsuit top that features a fun lemon motif. The tankini has adjustable straps, removable cups and UPF 50 protection. There's also a flattering shirring detail at the sides to define your waist and slim your physique. "Fits like a dream, the top is very supportive, and the colors are stunning," one satisfied shopper commented.
FYI, the matching High-Waist Belted Swim Bottoms are on sale for less than $25, too.
I get it, not everyone loves short shorts, but for those of you who've got the gams to pull them off, behold this cute denim pair down to just $25. While not all customers were crazy about the fit, those who liked them left rave reviews.
"I love these shorts; I bought multiple pairs. They fit great and are slimming," one person said.
Another added, "These shorts are super cute and comfortable. Not stiff, like some denim can be. Very pleased with this purchase."
Can't justify buying another plain white tee? How about a fab white tee with frilly flutter sleeves, then? This standout top is a total steal at less than $20, and can be worn so many ways. Pair it with jean shorts, linen pants and midi skirt — you name it.
In addition to white, this style is available in bright blue and black in sizes XS-XXL.
If you're not bold enough to brave the boardwalk in just your bathing suit, then grab this gorgeous gingham cover-up while it's marked down. Checks are this season's must-have pattern, after all. It's made from a lightweight chiffon material that looks and feels elegant and offers just the right amount of coverage when you're at the beach or by the pool.
You can never go wrong with a classic pair of oversized black sunglasses, so buying these for just $20 is a no-brainer. The durable plastic frame is sturdier than metal designs, so they can stand being tossed around in your beach bag. But if you want to keep them in tiptop shape for years to come, invest in a sturdy protective case.
Who says shorts can't be dressy? Leave the denim cutoffs at home. This drapey pair is polished enough for date night — just add heels, a silky top and bold jewelry.
Kohl's shoppers give this style 4.7 out of 5 stars, with many fans sharing they were pleasantly surprised by the quality.
"There is a lot to love about these shorts. I got them in blue and will probably order the red. They are nice for wearing to places you need to be more modest, but yet it's hot out! I like the length, the fit and the belt which [camouflages] the belly if you don't have a perfectly flat stomach, which most of us don't," one commenter wrote.
If you get hot when you sleep, you know nightgowns are the way to go. This one is made from a breathable cotton-blend that won't cause overheating, and the design is dainty and feminine. Choose from four different prints in sizes XS-XXL.
"Very comfortable cotton pajama dress. Love that it’s stylish and super comfortable!" one cool sleeper shared.
"I love this nightgown! It is so comfortable! It washed perfectly!" another raved.
This may look like an ordinary striped tee, but the puffed sleeves give it a special touch. Pair it with black trousers for a day in the office, or with jeans for a more laidback look.
"This is a nicer option for a basic women’s tee. It is a synthetic fabric that gives it a more elevated look compared to cotton," one shopper explained.
