Call it a secret, call it a lucky find — but Walmart is quietly stocking pieces that look runway-approved. I found barrel-leg jeans, striped knit sweaters and studded statement bags that could pass for front-row street style. It’s the kind of edit I almost didn’t want to share.
Across all 13 pieces, you’ll find bestselling jeans, chic knits and elevated shoes that instantly sharpen your wardrobe. Whether you’re heading to meetings or martinis, everything here feels polished but effortless. Consider this your shortcut to NYFW energy — without the front-row price tag (and pieces starting at just $15).
13 Chic Pieces I Found in Walmart’s Secret NYFW Edit
1. Front-Row Knit: The structured neckline and button-shoulder detail instantly made this striped sweater feel runway-adjacent to me. I’d style it with relaxed denim and loafers for that effortless, between-shows polish.
2. Retro Revival: I saw bold patch pockets and flattering high rises everywhere, which is why these Free Assembly jeans caught my eye. Their bestseller status — plus short, regular and long lengths — makes them an easy yes.
3. Textured Essential: The novelty buttons and soft knit texture give this cardigan that high-end feel I kept spotting in Manhattan. I love it buttoned up on its own just as much as layered.
4. Barrel-Leg Energy: Barrel-leg silhouettes dominated street style all week, and this pair nails the proportion play. I’d balance the curved leg with a fitted knit or sleek blazer.
5. Studded Statement: Crisp white meets punchy silver studs for that model-off-duty contrast with this chic white bucket. I’d pair it with straight-leg jeans and a black tee and call it styled.
6. Sheer Genius: Polka dots were everywhere this season — even on footwear. These sheer mesh flats feel playful, and I’d still wear them with tailored trousers for contrast.
7. Fan-Favorite Flare: I’m always drawn to pieces that look tailored but feel comfortable, and these bestselling ponte flares do exactly that. They read polished — but feel like loungewear.
8. Wide-Leg Winner: A clean wash and fluid drape make these Time and True jeans feel instantly elevated to me. I’d pair them with a structured knit or a plain white tee.
9. Sleeveless Staple: Sleeveless, button-front knits were layered everywhere I turned. This style will be perfect for my winter-to-spring wardrobe.
10. Backless Sneaker Hack: I noticed chic sneakers on people running between shows all week. This mesh mule pair gives that same comfy-but-city-ready energy.
11. Pinstripe Prep: Pinstripes felt less boardroom and more off-duty this season. I’d style these wide-leg culottes with kitten heels and a soft cardigan for balance.
12. Structured Suiting: Boxy blazers are still going strong, and I kept seeing cropped sleeves styles paired with denim. I love how this one sharpens up even the simplest outfits.
13. Work-Ready: I’m always looking for dresses that can handle a full day, and this tie-waist midi checks every box. The stretchy, breathable cotton blend makes it feel as good as it looks.
