A new shirt has caught the attention of thousands at Kmart as Australian men prepare for a fashionable summer.
The Printed T-shirt ($6.75) has been praised for its bargain price and modern designs.
Shoppers have gravitated toward a casual, light brown version emblazoned with the phrase “Ocean City Surf Shop.”
“Five stars for the color,” one man wrote online. ‘My wife complimented me: she said it looks good on me!’
“My son loves it, it’s refreshing and nice,” one parent wrote.
The design is also available in nine other patterns in all colors from white to blue, yellow, green and black.
Men 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.
The Printed T-shirt ($6.75) has been praised for its bargain price and modern designs.
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.
Kmart’s 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.
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.
