A new t-shirt has caught the eye at Kmart Australia after shoppers noted its resemblance to a popular version worth ten times as much.
The Oversized Striped T-shirt ($12) features white stripes on a light blue base.
It’s been compared to Ellesse’s Covana T-shirt ($109.95), which has a similar print with an addition of thin black stripes.
The Kmart t-shirt is also similar to Swanndri’s Melville t-shirt ($59.99).
Men online have started the ‘cool boy’ trend ahead of summer, which sees them wearing oversized t-shirts, sunglasses and baggy blue jeans.
Kmart has recently been praised for its high-quality designer items, as shoppers on a budget can also participate in fashion trends.
From a $35 dress that flew off the shelves over the summer to a $9,900 replica Balenciaga bag, shoppers have been “obsessed” with Kmart’s latest collections.
The T-shirt will pair perfectly with another Kmart item that has had shoppers turning.

Men’s Fixed-Waist Slim Stretch Chino Shorts ($20) are designed with two front and back pockets and a button top.
The affordable product looks like the Trenery Riviera Basketweave Shorts in Steel Blue, priced at $119.
At first glance, there appears to be little difference between the two other than price: Both options are made of cotton, feature a mid-length design, and a relaxed fit.
Last year, shoppers praised Kmart’s affordable price and described the shorts online as “very comfortable.”
“I need them,” one wrote on Facebook and tagged a friend.
‘I love it!’ another wrote.
These versatile shorts can be worn for a variety of occasions in summer, from casual outings to semi-formal events.

Several others also swear by Kmart clothing.
‘Kmart has good stuff at reasonable prices and I’m usually happy with the quality. Men’s t-shirts for five dollars have been a blessing,” said one of them.
“I buy my $7 jeans there and they are super comfortable,” wrote another.
‘It’s great for buying children’s clothes! My daughter is starting daycare soon, I bought her several outfits for $30, so if they get paint on them or break them, it won’t matter. The T-shirts were $3.50 each,” said one mother.
“I can’t count the number of times I’ve bought expensive shirts and pants and they’re so thin they don’t last a year, while my Kmart clothes from five years ago are still going strong,” one man said.
‘I had $12 black work pants that lasted me eight years. “I was so sad when everything finally fell apart last year,” added another.
