Preppy southern style just got a lot more affordable. (Kohl's)(Kohl's)
Memorial Day has come and gone, but there are still plenty of places to save on the things you'll need for summer. Retailers like Target, Nordstrom and Best Buy all extended their sales, so shoppers have another day to save. And over at Kohl's, I found a treasure trove of seriously stylish Draper James wardrobe staples for up to 70% off.
Reese Witherspoon launched Draper James, a lifestyle brand that includes clothing, accessories and home decor, back in 2015. The items all embody that charming Southern-chic aesthetic she's known for, but some of the line is pricey. In 2022, Witherspoon teamed up with Kohl's to offer more affordable Draper James pieces. While an original Draper James dress could set you back close to $200, a Draper James dress from Kohl's is closer to $60. Pretty sweet, right?
A handful of those styles are on sale as we head into summer, so you can save even more on Reese Witherspoon-approved picks for your warm-weather wardrobe. How about a timeless denim skirt for just $12? Or a flattering smocked-waist dress for under $15? Keep reading for those deals and more.
Don't have any butter yellow in your closet? You've gotta change that. If adding the hue to your everyday wardrobe feels too risky, how about this feminine one-piece that offers full coverage and has fun, frilly straps? Kohl's knocked $12 off the price ahead of beach and pool season.
If yellow is still a bridge too far, there are three other colors in sizes S-XXL.
Jean skirts are back in style, and we couldn't be happier. The thicker material means you don't have to worry about them blowing up in the wind, and this cutie (more than 70% off!) is an ideal not-too-long, not-too-short length. It's available in sizes 0-18.
Pair the dark-wash design with white sneakers and a tee for a casual look, or go a bit dressier with strappy sandals and a nice sweater.
The beauty of this printed pick is multifold: The smocked waist defines your midsection, the longer sleeves offer plenty of upper arm coverage, and the V-neckline is flattering but doesn't reveal too much.
Oh yeah, and the price ($12!?!) is right too. All sizes are currently available, so snag this gem while you can.
Flat sandals are fine for bopping around town, but date nights, showers and weddings call for something dressier, like this neutral wedge. It'll give you a boost without making you feel unstable, and the ankle strap will keep your feet and ankles secure.
While this shoe is certainly easy on the eyes, it's got some weight to it. "The shoe is beautiful, but it's heavy," one shopper noted.
A versatile white sweater is essential during the summer months. Not only does it look polished and elegant over pretty printed dresses, but it works in the office with trousers or as a nice top with light-wash jeans.
"Beautiful, high-quality sweater. This is perfect for work or weekends," one fan noted. Another commented, "Bought for my wife. Looks terrific. Nice quality for everyday use."
There are lots of reasons to love this fun polka dot swimsuit. It has removable straps and removable molded cups, plus it's fully lined and it offers UPF 50+ sun protection. Oh, and polka dots are trending. Who knew?
While shoppers say the suit is cute, some caution that sizing can be tricky. (Isn't that the case with all swimwear?) Our best advice: Order two sizes to find your best fit. Kohl's has a generous 90-day return policy.
