Look like a million bucks without breaking the bank – These $25 Kmart jeans are the new must-have item!
- Replies 4
Kmart is fast becoming a go-to destination for savvy shoppers who want to keep up with fashion trends without spending big bucks.
And the latest must-have item has Aussies raving – a stylish and versatile pair of full-length relaxed jeans that can be styled to suit almost any occasion!
Australian fashion blogger Genevieve is a huge fan of these ‘must-have’ jeans from Kmart and has shown her followers how to style the versatile item.
In a video she posted on Instagram, Genevieve quipped that the jeans have become one of her 'favourite purchases' of the past year.
To give her viewers some ideas on how to style the item, the fashion enthusiast dressed up and dressed down the jeans, and paired them with a range of different tops, shoes, and other accessories.
'These Kmart jeans are up there with my favourite purchases of the year. They’re so versatile,' she said in her post.
In one of her posts, Genevieve styled the jeans with a white cropped top from Zara, black sandals, and a pink over-shirt both from Target. The sandals and over-shirt add a fun summery twist, making it the perfect outfit for lunch with friends or even an early morning coffee at the beach.
Though, I think I’ll be giving the crop top a miss in favour of a nice singlet. Each to their own!
In a previous post, she dressed up the jeans styling them with a white corset top from Princess Polly and nude heels from Rubi shoes, along with a fashionable handbag.
‘Here is another way to style the $22* jeans, perfect for a night out, date night, girls’ night... the list goes on,’ she captioned.
*It is understood that Genevieve bought her pair for $22. But upon checking Kmart’s website, the price has gone up to $25.
Isn’t it crazy how a few simple changes can completely change an outfit? Now, jeans and a nice top have long been a staple for going-out attire and this is no different. Pop a pair of dressy shoes on and your favourite top and you can easily transition your outfit from day to night.
Her followers couldn’t believe that the jeans weren’t from a designer brand, saying they look like they cost $200!
‘Those jeans are so good…can’t believe they’re from Kmart,’ one shared.
Another agreed: ‘These are my favourite jeans of all time! So glad I went for them based on your suggestion.’
‘Such a cute outfit,’ someone else wrote.
A fourth said they bought the same pair and called them ‘the best’. ‘Love how you styled them,’ they added.
As much as we like discovering trendy items, it’s still advisable to buy staple pieces that you can pair well with other clothing items. That’s because fast fashion, which is the rapid production of new trends and garments, allows customers to purchase clothes at low cost but also discard their purchases at a faster rate to keep up with trends.
Furthermore, customer decisions to purchase fast fashion items may also impact the environment due to the lack of sustainability practices in place and the large number of garments produced in a short span of time.
Fast fashion is also dangerous from an ethical perspective too. According to reports, more than 60 million people work in the garment industry to keep producing garments. More than 15 million of those are based in Asia, and more than 80 per cent are often young women from poor, rural backgrounds.
Now, that’s not to say you shouldn’t purchase these jeans – just that it’s always best for our wallet (and the environment) that we consider whether we’ll wear a fashion item long term.
By finding smart and innovative ways to pair, layer and style your purchases, you can stretch your wardrobe to create chic and stylish looks appropriate for any occasion.
To get the most out of your fashion items, start by buying versatile pieces in neutral shades. These are usually easier to mix and match with different items and create more looks than items that have loud patterns or bright colours. Additionally, pay attention to details such as the cut and fit as these can also impact the overall look.
Accessorising is also an important part of achieving a stylish and fashionable look. Scarves, jewellery, hats and bags can be used to tie an outfit together and give it an added layer. However, the key is not overdoing it. Choose unique, eye-catching pieces that can act as a statement and help tie your look together. Most importantly, choose something that makes you feel great!
Finally, when it comes to budget-friendly fashion items, always remember to have fun and be creative! By experimenting and playing with different pieces and items, you can create a stylish wardrobe without breaking the bank.
