BIG W Releases a Lookalike of a $240 Designer Pair - and It’s Only $15!

Do designer clothing items always have to equate to designer prices? Not necessarily.

We all love finding a good bargain, especially when shopping for our clothes and accessories. But sometimes, the best deals are the ones that only look like they cost a fortune…



Why spend money on designer brands when you can pick up a similar look for a fraction of the price?

That's why this latest fashion trend is taking social media by storm.

Fashionistas are raving about BIG W’s $15 &me Women's Tailored Short, dubbing it a ‘dupe’ of a pair of designer shorts worth sixteen times the price.

Stylist Genevieve spotted the budget-friendly garment in her local BIG W and couldn't resist picking up a pair in two different colours — black and sage green.

She matched them with the $12 '&me Boxy Tee', some black sandals, and a matching handbag for the perfect weekend outfit.



Many fashion enthusiasts pointed out that the shorts look incredibly similar to Shona Joy’s ‘Sara Wide Leg Short’, which retail for a whopping $240.

There seem to be few discernible contrasts between the BIG W and Shona Joy product descriptions aside from the materials used for each piece.

Case in point: both fashion items have the same characteristic features, such as the coin pocket, wide-leg design, wide belt loops, and high waistbands.

This is perfect for those who want to stay on the cutting edge of fashion and are not afraid to show off a little leg.



The BIG W short has a tailored cut, two pockets, and belt loops and is available in sizes XS through XL.

The wide-leg design is a stylish choice for casual as well as formal occasions.

It's a practical and versatile piece that can be styled up or down.
