Listen, we don’t have to tell you that we’re music-lovers here — music snobs, some may say. We appreciate a nice bluetooth speaker, a standout pair of headphones, and have several opinions on what truly makes an audiophile-worthy turntable. But being a fan of our favorite artists goes far beyond listening to their latest record, and we think you might agree, too. A big part of (and a lot of the fun of) standom is repping your faves on your sleeve, quite literally.
But you might be surprised where you can find something that symbolizes your favorite album or an artist’s iconic imagery — a little IYKYK piece that you can throw on your backpack, like a keychain, or wear around your wrist, like a friendship bracelet. Walmart is one of our favorite places these days to find unique pieces that’ll find you connections with your fellow fans (or at least get an approving nod).
You can spot everything from a Billie Eilish Blohsh-inspired chain necklace, to a Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s baseball cap at Walmart, and you won’t even have to wait on a venue’s excessively long merch line. Even beyond that, Walmart has plenty of non-music options for taking your shopping in a loose “inspired-by” direction. We’ve rounded up some trendy accessories below that bring the vibe of your favorite albums to life.
for the swifties
‘Midnights’ Necklace
Now this is a necklace you’ll want to wear mornings, noon, and yes, midnights. Using the same font as the album title, don this sleek Midnights chain necklace before the next leg of the tour, or just whenever the mood strikes. We like that it’s neutral enough you can layer it with other silver or gold jewelry for a more subtle nod to the album.
for the beyhive
‘Cowboy Carter’ Rodeo Hat
Whether you’re stepping out at the beach, the cookout, or on the dance floor, you’ll be channeling Cowboy Carter style with this rodeo trucker hat. This lovingly crafted homage almost feels right at home with what you might wear to an actual rodeo (or an upcoming tour, perhaps?). But you can come take it to the floor now, anyways.
for the midwestern princesses
Cowgirl Hat Earrings
Come and join the club this summer off the heels of Chappell Roan’s massively successful The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess album. Any casual outfit (or night-out look) will be even better if you’re styling it with this pair of femme western IYKYK earrings.
for the army
BTS (Instant Tattoo) Dream Tattoo Set
Sometimes we feel lyrics so deeply, we want to write them on our skin — you can show off positive energy from their album Map of the Soul: 7 with this pack of instant Tattoos.
for the angels
Y2K Chunky Glass Puffy Heart Necklace
This big heart pendant necklace fits right in with the Y2K aesthetic of Charli XCX’s BRAT, although not quite as bright lime green. Regardless, this is the perfect statement piece necklace to wear if you’re constantly out everywhere and feeling like a certain lady.
for the livvies
‘GUTS’ Outfit-Inspired Rings
Whether you’re dressing up to get revenge on your ex, or rocking out on Olivia Rodrigo’s latest tour and album, these G-U-T-S rings will make a statement no matter where you go.
for the avocados
Blohsh Patterned Cross Body Bag
Referred to as the “Blohsh” (we’re still not sure what that means), this patterned crossbody bag lets you keep Billie’s iconic mascot close to your chest. The genderless slanted stick figure pendant plastered all over the two-pocket bag, along with Eilish’s name on the adjustable shoulder strap. Wear this out and about and you’ll feel happier than ever.
for the hotties
Snake Arm Cuff Bands
Celebrate a certain upcoming album drop with a bit of scaley imagery. We think the slinking, gold arm cuffs are an eye-catching and fashionable tribute.
