Get the 'cool bloke' look for less with Kmart's latest offering!

Fashion trends come and go, but the thrill of finding a stylish bargain remains a timeless joy.

For those who want to keep up with the latest trends without breaking the bank, Kmart just served up a delightful surprise for savvy shoppers.


The retail giant recently launched a shirt which caused quite a stir among shoppers.

The Oversized Striped T-shirt ($12) is more than just a fashion piece; it's a dupe of a 'cool bloke' men's t-shirt taking over social media.

Kmart's version features a trendy oversized fit with orange, grey, and navy blue stripes on a tan base, mirroring the style of the much pricier No Excess's multi colour stripe crewneck t-shirt ($109.95).

Kmart's version also sports four colourways—beige, blue, black, and navy—and comes in sizes extra small to 4XL.

The 'cool bloke' trend, which recently gained momentum online ahead of the summer season, involved wearing an oversized t-shirt paired with sunglasses and loose-fitted blue jeans.

It's a look of effortless style and comfort, and thanks to Kmart, the trend is now accessible for fashion enthusiasts.


Kmart's reputation for dupes of designer items continues to grow, and this latest find is no exception.

Shoppers on a budget could participate in fashion trends without overspending on specific items.

A shopper shared how transformative Kmart's offerings could be for those who are on the lookout for affordable finds.

'I got a $150 voucher for Christmas and desperately needed clothes,' he shared on social media.

'I found that I could get five to six items at most retailers. When I was at Kmart, I was able to get more than double that. They are all comfortable and not entirely void of style.'


Other shoppers also praised the retailer's clothing range.

From the $5 men's t-shirts to the $7 jeans, customers found value and comfort in their purchases.

One mum shared how she outfitted her daughter for daycare with multiple outfits from the retailer.

'My daughter starts daycare soon. I bought her multiple outfits for $30, so if she gets paint on them or they rip, it will not matter,' she shared online.

One shopper also recounted how their $12 black work pants lasted an impressive eight years.

If you want to update your wardrobe, find comfortable everyday wear clothes, or just enjoy a good bargain, Kmart's latest offering is worth checking out.

It is the same with all items you buy. Some could last for a long time and others look shoddy after a few washes. It doesn't matter how much you pay for them. But with this t-shirt you can see the difference in quality, fit and colour between the 2 of them
Think Kmart Tshirt will stretch out of shape by the first wash. It looks shoddy already doesn’t it?
 
A lot of the so-called CHAIN store designs just highlight's that you are poor.

I would NEVER let my husband wear this unless he chose to look like a toddler from 1960.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this t-shirt and also a lot of K-Mart or Target clothing.....it's casual dress and it is for budget conscious shoppers not excessively overpriced clothing found in other mens' clothing stores. Fashions change with the season as women know very very well and many rush out to buy from their personally chosen outlet, often disregarding highly inflated prices...and eventually get thrown out or given away in order to make room for more and more.....I could go on but wont at this point. Your husband can go and buy what he wants from where he wants, he is buying for his closet of clothing ...NOT YOURS.!!

He is now in heaven and not sure where he buys his stuff now. We were very careful of what we bought over the years and I know quality when I see it and that T-shirts not it. And yes, I did buy stuff from Chain Stores and still do but over the years I have found a lot do not wear more than a season from chain stores.
