‘Need to go back’: Wild reaction to $30 Big W item

The major retailer has unveiled its latest clothing and homewares range, with one $30 item already stealing the show.

One major department store has unveiled its new collection, with a $30 clothing item already catching the eye of fashion folk everywhere.

Big W dropped its Autumn and Winter range this week, with on-trend pieces such as a leopard print satin skirt, graphic print shirts, a faux fur jacket, suede mini skirt and front pocket jeans – all for less than $40.

But one item in particular, a pair of side stripe pants for $30, is already emerging as a standout piece. The trousers come in two colours, red and neutral, available in sizes 6 to 18.

Ashlee Sahlberg, a Melbourne mum, shared a clip of herself wearing the fun trousers.

“Legit so comfy. We had to get two pairs,” she said.

Ms Sahlberg said she never typically buys clothes from Big W, but the trousers “caught her eye”.

“Ngl I’ve been getting some good things from Big W lately. Are they about to glow up,” one said.
