Outfit Your Family for the New Year With These Stylish Items From Walmart

Who doesn't love to unwrap gifts that are fashionable and functional?

While kids may lobby for the latest toys, fashion-forward pre-teens and teens, as well as those who are a bit older and a bit more practical know that wardrobe updates can make some of the best gifts. Plus with the new year right around the corner, now is the perfect time help family members hit a wardrobe refresh. Tired of seeing those ragged-looking pants and stretched-thin shirts going out the door? Swap them out for durable denim and cozy flannel. Have a teen who has been clamoring for a new crossbody? Get them one that’s pretty enough to score their seal of approval while also practical enough (with deep pockets to safely stash house keys and a phone) to earn your endorsement as well. With Walmart’s wide selection of clothing and accessories, these upgrades can be stylish and affordable.

From comfortable fabrics to quirky patterns to elegant event-wear, we guarantee you’ll find seriously smart-looking apparel that’s both fashion-forward and budget-friendly. There are colorful items to match your little one’s vibrant personality, the latest trends for your teens to experiment with, styles that will elevate Dad’s wardrobe and accessories that’ll give Mom some much-deserved sparkle. And while we’re pretty sure they’ll love whatever you find, the return policy is an easy one with items than can be accepted until the end of January 2024.

Ready to get started checking off your list? Consider these fashionable and functional items we think are just great.
