“It’s stunning!”

This week, TikTok has been flooded with praise for Kmart’s brand new Long Sleeve Oxford Shirt.

The shirt, which retails for just $25, has been compared to the iconic Rhea Blue Oversized Cotton Shirt from Dissh, which retails for a whopping $139.99.

TikTok creator @georgialynmae has taken to the app to share a direct comparison between the two, and the resemblance is uncanny.

First, she tries on the Kmart version, complimenting the colour and fit, as well as the heavy weight - indicating quality.

“It’s stunning, it’s got the little emblem on the pocket also,” she said.

She also compares the fabric of the two, which is nearly identical.

“Both of these shirts are both 100% cotton, so they are the same material blend,” she said.

Trying on the Dissh original, you can clearly see the similarities.

“You can barely see that it’s a change when she puts it on,” she said.

“They have their little Dissh emblem on the pocket also.”

Ultimately, she said the choice between the two is easy.

“There’s the slightest difference in colour, but for the price tag? Kmart!” she said.

“Kmart looks better!”

Many commenters on the post agreed that the Kmart shirt looked the same as the Dissh version - if not better.

“Kmart looks better" one commenter said.

“Brilliant dupe! Go Kmart!!” said another.

“need the kmart version rn,” a third agreed.

“Why do I like the Kmart one better?…” another person said.

Some were even influenced to buy the product off the back of the video.

“I ran so fast to Kmart and purchased” said one commenter.

“Both are nice!”

Others said that whilst they weren’t quite the same, the Kmart version could be a good alternative for the price.

“It’s the sleeves! so close but doesn’t have a tailored feel. You could definitely create that feeling though for that price tag!” one commenter said.

“It’s the small details that make the difference. The Kmart one has clear buttons all the way to the neck and the sleeve cuffs are really loose when buttoned . Dissh one has blue buttons , buttons stop further from the neck making a more stylish design, sleeve cuffs are fitted giving shape to the sleeves, the fabric appears to be heavier and hangs better and less wrinkled . Both are nice but they’re not the same,” another agreed.

The Kmart version is currently available online in both blue and white. However, stock is going fast, so get in quick!
