Gen Z are obsessed with the folded down jean trend, and now one discount retailer has brought out a pair with a $25 price tag in order to help people get the look without breaking the bank.

The folded down jean trend, typically using $99.95 Dickies 874 workpants, has been made popular by celebrities such as singer Madison Beer.

Now, Kmart has a budget-friendly version – the Fold Waist Trousers that retail for just $25. The trousers come in sizes 6 to 20 in two colours called soft ash and ash beige.

Brittany and Olivia paired the trousers with the matching vest, while Brenda modelled it with a blue top from Supre.
