You won’t believe how this $37 Kmart find can totally upgrade your next airport trip
- Replies 0
If you’ve ever found yourself shivering in an airport lounge, desperately trying to look stylish while also staying comfortable, you’re not alone! For many of us, the quest for the perfect travel outfit is a never-ending journey—one that usually ends with us sacrificing either comfort or style (or, let’s be honest, both). But thanks to Kmart’s latest loungewear range, it looks like those days might finally be behind us.
Kmart’s new pastel loungewear set is causing quite a stir among savvy travellers and bargain hunters alike. For just $37, you can snap up a look that’s not only easy on the wallet but also ticks all the boxes for comfort, practicality, and a dash of airport chic. The set includes the Active Women’s Fleece 1/2 Zip Jumper ($25) and the matching Front Seam Fleece Shorts ($12), both in a fresh Lemon Mist hue that’s a welcome change from the usual sea of grey and black.
Let’s break down why this set is getting so much love. The fleece jumper is crafted from a soft cotton-polyester blend, featuring a ribbed collar, long raglan sleeves, and a handy half-zip, perfect for layering as you navigate the ever-changing temperatures of airports and planes. The relaxed fit is flattering without being frumpy, and the pastel yellow shade adds a cheerful pop to your travel wardrobe.
The matching shorts, made from the same snuggly fleece, come with an elastic waistband (hello, comfort!), front seam detailing, and roomy side pockets—ideal for stashing your boarding pass, lip balm, or even a sneaky snack. Both pieces are available in sizes 6 to 18, staying true to Kmart’s commitment to inclusive sizing.
But, as with all things fashion, not everyone is convinced. The main point of contention? The shorts. Some shoppers are horrified at the thought of bare legs on a plane, with one commenting, ‘I’ll never wear shorts on a plane. Imagine touching the seat with my bare legs!’ Others pointed out that planes are notoriously chilly, especially on longer flights.
However, fans of the set argue it’s perfect for short domestic hops, trips to warmer destinations, or simply surviving the summer airport rush in style and comfort. And let’s face it—if you’re someone who runs hot or just wants to avoid overheating while dashing through the terminal, this set could be your new best friend.
If shorts aren’t your thing, don’t worry—Kmart has you covered there, too. Hot on the heels of the pastel set is their new Active Studio Soft Travel Pants and Active Ribbed Hooded Jumper combo, which has been hailed as the ‘best travel set ever’ by fans. The pants, in a chic dusty purple-grey called Folkstone, are flying off the shelves, with shoppers raving about their buttery-soft, wrinkle-resistant fabric, flattering tapered fit, and practical pockets. Available in sizes 4 to 20, these pants are especially popular with women who struggle to find travel pants that don’t need hemming—one 158cm shopper declared them ‘the perfect length’ and promptly bought them in multiple colours.
So, what’s the verdict? Whether you’re a shorts-on-a-plane rebel or a devotee of the classic trackie, Kmart’s new loungewear range offers something for everyone. With affordable prices, inclusive sizing, and thoughtful details, it’s no wonder these pieces are being snapped up by travellers looking to upgrade their airport style without breaking the bank.
A few extra travel tips from us at the Seniors Discount Club:
- Always pack a lightweight scarf or wrap in your carry-on—it’s a lifesaver for chilly flights and can double as a pillow or blanket.
- Slip-on shoes are your best friend at security checkpoints.
- And don’t forget to layer! Even if you start your journey in the tropics, you never know when you’ll be hit with a blast of arctic air-conditioning.
