The $12 Kmart Top You'll Wear With Everything This Summer
When shopping for something new, we're always mindful of how much we'll actually wear the item, so to not end up with a wardrobe full of clothes that never get worn. We always ask ourselves how seamlessly it fits into our existing wardrobes, how versatile it is, whether it can be worn both day and night, and lastly, is it flattering?
Recently we turned to one of our favourite afforable retailers, Kmart, to find some staple items for summer which fit our bill. Low and behold, we found it—the perfect black smocked singlet. The good news is you don't have to think too hard about this one, because it will only set you back $12.
Smocking is a trend we've seen return this season—it flatters all figures and is super comfortable to wear. This particular singlet will match everything in your existing wardrobe; think your old faithful vintage denim jeans, slim-line back pants, or your worn-in denim cutoffs as the weather really warms up. It's a flattering piece that's super easy to style. Keep scrolling to shop our favourite top for the season, and two more we can't go past.

Perfect over jeans or tucked into a skirt, this is the perfect summer top.
