Thursday, October 17 | Top stories | From the Newsroom

Shoppers cannot get enough of a $20 piece from one major budget retailer, with one saying it was an affordable way to get in on the viral trending look.

Linen vests are everywhere at the moment and Kmart has joined the ranks with its Sleeveless Button Front Waistcoat that retails for $20.

The shirt comes in three different prints — black, white and pinstripe — in sizes 6 to 20.

It has proved incredibly popular among shoppers, with fans sharing the various ways that they would style the outfit.

Jodie Stuart said at just $20 the vest was a “steal” and she specifically went into her local store to try it on after seeing it on social media.

“I need this. I don’t own a vest and I’ve been wanting one,” she said.

Initially, she tried it on with a yellow skirt that she thought was meant to be low rise but she didn’t love the fit on herself.

Instead, she opted to pair in with denim shorts — a classic look.

Meanwhile, Melissa Jade and Caitlin Anne tried their hand at creating a Spring look that didn’t break the bank, creating an outfit with the trending item for under $60.

She did a very similar look with Jodie, but instead of a yellow skirt she opted for yellow, trousers and mesh ballet flats.

A Kmart spokesperson said customers love the store’s linen offerings.

“Customers love Kmart Australia’s linen blend products for their breathable, lightweight fabric that provides comfort in warm weather. The blend of linen and other fibres also makes the pieces durable and easy to care for, offering great value for an affordable price. Many appreciate the versatile, stylish designs that can be dressed up or down for various occasions,” the spokesperson told news.com.au.

“The design of Kmart Australia’s linen blend products is inspired by a minimalist, timeless aesthetic that emphasises comfort and versatility. The focus was on creating pieces that are both stylish and functional, ideal for warm-weather wear. Natural fabrics and relaxed silhouettes were chosen to evoke a sense of effortless elegance and casual sophistication.

“The Sleeveless Button Front Waistcoat, Linen Blend Wide Leg Pants, Linen Blend Pull on Shorts and Linen Blend Maxi Skirt can be styled together for a cohesive, relaxed look that’s perfect for summer.

“Pair them with flat sandals and a straw hat for a laid-back daytime outfit or elevate the look with statement jewellery and heels for a casual evening event. The neutral tones and minimalist design make it easy to accessorise and adapt the set to various occasions.”
