I bought the ‘perfect’ summer skirt from Kmart that everyone’s talking about right now – and it’s just $20

Fashionistas heading into Aussie summer have named the ‘it girl’ skirt of the season – and it’s only $20.

The Kmart Australia denim wrap skort ($20) has been sending shoppers into a spin this week.

Its soft material is an airy blend of cotton and denim that glides on your skin – the lightweight fabric a perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.

Kmart’s top-selling skirt is best paired with t-shirts or tank tops for a casual look, but you can also wear it with a fitted long-sleeve top or button-down shirt and heels for an elevated ensemble.

The buy has also been compared to fashion label billy j’s Jessie denim skort ($70) by style blogger Kmart Insider.

‘Both skirts are identical,’ a shopper commented.

‘I love my Kmart denim skort so much,’ another said. A third added, ‘I need this!’

Dupes have been all the rave in recent years as Australia slowly begins to climb out of the cost of living crisis.

Shoppers are unwilling to dish out hundreds of dollars on new clothes anymore – with many choosing instead to purchase similar designs from Kmart and Target.

The budget brands’ clothing ranges have been praised as some of the best value for money pieces on the market with thousands raving about the superior design and quality.

The clothing lines have also been going viral on Australian fashion TikTok with thousands of women sharing their clothing hauls.

‘I’m obsessed with the new summer and linen collection at Target,’ one said.

For shoppers who aren’t a fan of dupes, a little-known Australian retailer has started selling high-end brands for a fraction of the price.

The ‘hidden gem’ discount retailer where you can find designer buys from brands like Fendi, Dior, and Aje for affordable prices.

It sells old stock from previous seasons – and shoppers have described it as a ‘clearance treasure hunt’.

Many have seen bags from Fendi, Dior, and Bottega Venetta on sale.

For those who can’t get enough of bargain versions of high-fashion buys, Australian women are head over heels for a ‘fancy’ budget bag that has been compared to a $5,800 designer accessory.

The weave shoulder bag ($18) from Kmart Australia is available in black and cream.

Many have noticed a keen resemblance to Italian luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta’s Hop bag ($5,800).

Both bags feature Bottega’s signature intrecciato weave which was first used in the 1960s.

Women have dubbed it the ‘perfect’ bag that will instantly dress up any outfit – and its convenient size makes it a stylish go-to for a quick supermarket run or after-school pick up.

‘I have the black Kmart bag – it’s super comfortable on the shoulder and a good size,’ a mum said.

‘Kmart is much better,’ another said, when comparing it’s tighter weave pattern to Bottega’s.

‘Oh my god, I love it. Gorgeous,’ a fan added about the popular bag.
