While Fourth of July might not stand out as a popular holiday for online shopping, like say, Memorial Day, we are a nation that loves a good deal. It should come as no surprise that there are plenty of markdowns in honor of America’s independence—some of which have already kicked off.
As a shopping writer who spends too much, I’ve been focusing way more on budgeting as of late. However, considering these can’t-miss deals, I’m allowing myself a little shopping spree. Target’s sale section is teeming with flowy dresses, flattering tops, and comfortable sandals for summer, with discounts up to 40 percent off. Keep scrolling to browse my top 10 favorite picks.
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect easy, breezy linen dress for summer, look no further than this Beach Bungalow style, which one shopper said is “light, flowy, and built for comfort.” The simple, flattering dress comes in five different colors (hurry, sizes are selling out quickly) and features a scoop neckline and backless design. The linen-blend fabric is breathable and cooling without the same risk of wrinkling as 100 percent linen. Other customers added that they got “so many compliments” on the dress that’s perfect to “wear anytime and anywhere.”
I’m such a fan of an open-work dress for summer because it offers ultimate breathability and doubles as a swimsuit cover-up. Never mind the fact that it fits right in with the season’s sheer trend. This Target style, which comes in five different colors, is made from a lightweight mesh material. Plus, it has a soft and comfortable lining. One shopper said the design is “easy to throw on” while still looking “fun and interesting” thanks to the “crochet and small amount of sparkle.” They added that they “got compliments left and right.”
This midi-length slip dress customers called “stunning,” “classic,” and “elegant” is primed for summer wedding season. The combination of the V-neckline and square back feels timeless, while the lightweight satin fabric looks so much more expensive than it is. Fellow shoppers said they received “lots of compliments” on the “silky-smooth” style that “fits perfectly.” One person added that it’s “great to wear [for] formal and casual events” alike.
This puff cap sleeve corset top is as every bit fun and whismsical as it is a closet staple. The off-the-shoulder design and tailored fit are so flattering, while the lightweight cotton fabric and classic color options (black, white, and yellow) make it versatile enough to wear with just about anything. Plus, the all-over eyelet detailing feels distinctly summer, and the partial lining is still breathable enough to keep you cool in the heat. s.
