Kmart has just dropped its summer apparel range – and while it has only been in store a few days, there’s a standout $40 outfit set to send shoppers into a spin.

The budget retailer released new men’s, kids’ and women’s wear into stores across the country on Thursday.

While there’s an array of new wardrobe offerings, news.com.au was invited to preview the Kmart collection, and as a result we’re predicting a cute two-piece set will be this summer’s must-have item.
