A new shirt has caught the attention of thousands of Australian men at Kmart, as Australian men gear up for a fashionable summer.
The printed t-shirt ($6.75) is praised for its bargain price and trendy designs.
Shoppers have gravitated toward a casual tan version with “Ocean City Surf Shop” written on it.
“Five stars for the color,” one man wrote online. ‘My wife complimented me and said it looks good on me!’
“My son loves it, it’s cooling and delicious,” one father wrote.
The design is also available in nine other patterns in all colors, from white to blue, yellow, green and black.
Men have fueled the ‘cool guy’ trend in the run-up to summer, wearing an oversized T-shirt, sunglasses and loose-fitting jeans.
Kmart has recently been praised for its high-quality ‘dupes’ of designer goods, as shoppers on a budget can also discover fashion trends.

From a $35 dress flying off the shelves this summer to a $15 dupe of a $15 Balenciaga handbag, shoppers are ‘obsessed’ with Kmart’s latest collections.
The shirt pairs perfectly with another Kmart garment that has delighted shoppers.
The Men’s Slim-Stretch Fixed Waist Chino Shorts ($20) are designed with two front and back pockets and a button at the top.
Kmart’s affordable product resembles the Trenery Riviera Basketweave Short in Steel Blue, priced at $119.
At first glance, there seem to be few differences between the two aside from price: both options are made from cotton, have a mid-length design and a relaxed fit.
Last year, shoppers raved about Kmart’s cheap price, describing the shorts online as ‘so comfortable’.
“I need this,” someone wrote on Facebook, tagging a friend.
The versatile shorts can be worn for a variety of occasions in the summer, from casual outings to semi-formal events.

Several others also swear by Kmart’s clothing.
“Kmart has some good stuff at reasonable prices, and I’m usually happy with the quality.” The $5 men’s T-shirts were a godsend,” one person said.
“I buy my $7 jeans there and they are super comfortable,” wrote another.
‘It’s great to buy children’s clothes! My daughter starts daycare soon, I bought her several outfits for $30 so if she gets paint on them or if they rip it won’t matter. The shirts cost $3.50 each,” one mother said.
“I can’t count how many times I’ve bought expensive shirts and pants and they’re so thin they won’t last a year – while my Kmart clothes from five years ago are still good,” said one man.
“I had a pair of $12 black work pants that lasted me eight years. I was so sad when it finally fell apart last year,” another added.
