RIXO Floral Puff Sleeve Dress ($50): Target's entire summer designer collaboration is filled with bold prints and bright colors, but this flattering midi dress is a particular favorite since it can be dressed up or down all season long.
Square Toe Heels ($30): Leave it to Target to design the perfect (and obviously affordable) summer heel. The woven detail will transform any outfit into a warm-weather look, the block heel is practical yet has a cool, rounded shape, and the square toe makes them especially on trend.
Green Blazer ($35): Linen-blend blazers are the ideal light layer to have on hand for summer, and this sage green hue gives the classic wardrobe staple a seasonal update.
Levi's Mid Rise Jean Shorts ($30): Of course the store that has it all also carries Levi's! Add these cute cuffed shorts to your denim rotation for a comfortable summer option.
Soft Large Shoulder Bags ($35): "Pillow" bags are a must-have right now, and this roomy option will carry all your essentials from work to the weekend.
Linen Tank Top ($8): One of the easiest ways to update your wardrobe for the summer is with a simple tank in a seasonal hue. Tuck this sweet buttermilk yellow top into everything from your midi skirts to your tailored shorts.
Thick Chain Link Necklace ($15): Elevate your outfit instantly with this chic, chunky chain necklace. Whether you're dressing up for the night or dressing up a simple white tee, you can wear this statement piece with just about anything.
Pleat Front Bermuda Shorts ($25): For the ultimate cool-girl summer fit, tuck a simple tank top into these sleek and tailored bermuda shorts.
Hazel Heel Thong Sandals ($30): Thong sandals have been totally upgraded this season. Forget your plastic pool thongs and try pairing this faux leather, heeled version with tailored shorts and printed dresses.
Trapezoid Mini Bag ($35): Structured satchel handbags have the ability to transform any outfit into a sophisticated, stylish ensemble. This white, mini version is the perfect touch for summer.
ALEXIS for Target Short Shirt Dress ($55): Shirt dresses are a classic summer silhouette that every wardrobe should have — but we doubt most wardrobes have one in this stunning blue color. Thanks to Target's collaboration with Cuban designer Alexis Barbara Isaias, that's about to change.
Clementine Padded Crossband Heels ($35): Step out this summer in these sleek yet especially comfy block-heeled sandals. The padded faux leather detail looks way more expensive than it is!
Triangle Cup Breezy Dress ($25): Swap your little black dress for this super sweet, little eyelet dress. Add a pair of sandals and denim jacket, and like throwing on your LBD, you'll be out the door in an instant.
Maren Espadrille Slides ($25): Target has even managed to give your go-to summer espadrilles a cute update with a square toe design and a denim-blue band that will go perfectly with your boyfriend jeans or denim jacket.
Pull On Shorts ($15): These linen blend shorts will be your basis for a polished yet laid back outfit, especially when paired with the matching button down shirt.
Straw Crossbody Bag ($25): Take this classic straw bag with cute faux-leather details everywhere this summer, from the beach to brunch.
