Kmart's $14 activewear dupe of $76 item sends shoppers into a spin: 'I am in love'

As we all tighten our belts, both literally and financially, Kmart has come to the rescue with a budget-friendly fitness find that's taking TikTok by storm. Imagine snagging a pair of active shorts for just $14 that look just like the pricey, gym-girlie go-to brand, DFYNE. It's no wonder these dupes are flying off the shelves!

When Kmart launches a hot new item, you can be sure social media will be all over it, and this was no exception. TikToker Ruby Guest was one of the first to spot the dupe at her local Kmart and she couldn’t wait to share the find with her followers.

"To all my gym girlies out there, run to Kmart to get these shorts," she announced in her TikTok. "We've all heard of the DFYNE shorts, but these are literally the exact same."

In her video, Ruby held up the back of the shorts to show off the on-trend detailing on the bum, enthusiastically saying, "Look at the scrunch on that, and the colour is so nice. They also have a coral, a white, and a black." She added, "These snatch you in," pointing out the waistline, "she's thick, and she is just amazing."

Ruby wrapped up her TikTok with a hefty endorsement: "These are so nice, seriously, while you can, go and purchase these from Kmart because I am in love."

Social media approved

Her excitement was echoed in the comments section, with one person writing, "Kmart really is popping off and they're not slowing down!"

Another added, "Kmart upping their game for real!"

Fans of the shorts were quick to chime in with their own reviews.

"These are my favourite!!!! I have them in every colour!" one user exclaimed. Another pointed out a key feature, "They don't have a front seam either," punctuated with a fire emoji.

The love for the shorts kept coming with comments like: "Imma get me some," and "I got them last night and I am obsessed with them," flooding in.

However, a few users offered some cautionary advice. One commenter noted, "Be careful with them though, I had 2 pairs that I used for work a couple of times and they both split up the ass."

With TikTok buzzing and shelves emptying, Kmart’s active shorts might just be one of the must-have items of the season. Whether you’re a fitness fiend or just love a good dupe, these shorts are a steal that you won’t want to miss out on. Happy shopping!
