The $20 must-have summer buy nobody believes is from Big W: ‘They are perfect’
An Australian mum has found the ‘perfect’ linen look trousers – and they cost just $20 at Big W.
Gem Brycee couldn’t believe her eyes when she came across the trousers on the shelves of the budget retailer.
To passers-by, they looked like a design from, for example, Alemais or a luxury Italian fashion house.
Instead, Gem said, they were “comfortable and cheap.”
“I think I’ve found the perfect linen pants,” she explained on TikTok, clarifying that they were a “linen look” and not actual linen.
‘They are so summery, so light and absolutely stunning. Big W everyone.”
Her post delighted hundreds of shoppers who loved the stylish trousers, and even more when they discovered they go up to size 26.
‘Excuse me! I’m going to Big W,” one woman said enthusiastically.

The pants cost just $20 and have a ‘linen vibe’
“I literally got this from you and walked past a girl who picked up on the same thing: your impact,” said another.
“I just bought two pairs.”
The mother went on to explain that they are not see-through like some budget pants, and that they are true to size. She bought size 14.
Others complained that the pants were already sold out at their nearest stores.
“I just went to my local house and there’s none left!” one woman complained.
“They don’t have the same size range in my store,” wrote another.
“Why do all the good things sell out so quickly?”
Others noted that the pants resemble more expensive dupes that sell for $80 at Sportsgirl.
The pants can be purchased as part of a matching set – with the top also $20.
The retailer also has a matching top, although the pants seemed more popular online
Many also wondered how best to style the pants, given the unique pattern.
“I don’t like the double pattern look, but I don’t really know what else they’ll work with,” one woman said.
‘I like to pair it with a block color – usually something found in the print, this works for tops or trousers,’ advised one style fan.
“I like to wear an oversized black t-shirt with mine,” Gem said.
A Creative Big W fan revealed they had bought two pairs of trousers, with plans to turn them into shorts.
