8 Kirkland Clothing Items That Are Legit Knock-Offs of Pricey Brands

You don't need to sacrifice style or comfort when shopping for clothes on a budget. There are affordable options that look similar to pricey name-brand clothing. You just need to know where to look.

You may be a pro at saving money on groceries at Costco, but the megastore has great deals on fashion dupes and knock-offs that will have you looking like a million bucks.

The store's clothing brand, Kirkland Signature, features some great looks at lower prices than high-end stores. So, if you like any of the clothing items on this list, you can save money at Costco when it's time to add new pieces to your wardrobe.

Editor's note: Prices are subject to change and may vary by location.

Price: $17.99

Kirkland Signature's Ladies' Travel Pant comes in three colors and a variety of sizes. These pants aren't only for traveling. They are extremely versatile and can be dressed up or down to fit nearly any occasion.

You can buy Kirkland Signature Ladies' Travel Pant for less than $20 at Costco. White House Black Market sells pants that look similar for $99. And Tommy Hilfiger's Solid Slim Fit Chino, which closely resembles Kirkland Signature's version, sells for $74.50.

Price: $16.99

Kirkland Signature's Men's Performance Shorts are great for the golf course, and they come in tan, gray, and green. At the affordable price of $16.99, you can purchase more than one pair without feeling guilty.

Southern Tide sells similar performance shorts for more than five times the price, at $108. However, this brand offers significantly more color options and much fancier names, such as Fog and Green Surf.

But your friends on the green will likely just consider them green and gray. So, the fancy names might not be worth the higher price tag.

Price: $14.99

Joggers aren't only for jogging. They also work well when working or just lounging around the house. You can snag a pair of Kirkland Signature Ladies' Lightweight Joggers for less than $15 at Costco.

Lightweight joggers from other brands can cost significantly more. For example, Eddie Bauer's Women's Escapelite jogger pants sell for $59.99. That's nearly four times more expensive than the Kirkland Signature version.

Price: $19.99

Basic jeans are a staple for many men, and at only $19.99, you can stock up on Kirkland Signature's version without breaking the bank. These jeans feature a five-pocket design and are made of stretch denim to enhance comfort.

Similar men's jeans from other brands can cost double or triple the price. For example, LL Bean's Men's Double L® Jeans come with a $59.95 price tag, and a pair of 505 Regular Fit Men's Jeans by Levi's will cost you nearly $70.

Pro tip: Get it for $7 off with savings valid from 7/15/24 through 7/19/24.

Price: $24.99 for a pack of six

Crew Neck tees are staples in nearly every wardrobe. You can snag a pack of six Kirkland Signature Men's Crew Neck Tees for only $24.99. That's just over four dollars per shirt. Customers can choose between a pack of white or a pack of black.

Purchasing single crew neck shirts from pricey name brands will cost you a lot more. For example, at $14.99, even two t-shirts from Land's End will cost more than the six-pack by Kirkland. And J. Crew charges the same single-shirt $14.99 price, though the brand does offer more than ten color varieties.

Price: $16.99

With moisture-wicking fabric and front pockets, the Kirkland Signature Ladies' Full Zip hoodie is functional and practical. You can score one for less than $17. Pricey brands charge a lot more for jackets that serve the same purpose.

If you go with Columbia, you'll pay $29.99 for the Women's Cades Cove Full Zip hoodie. And Old Navy's PowerSoft Full Zip jacket costs even more, at $49.99.

Price: $9.97-$24.99

Men's Kirkland Signature Traditional Fit Dress Shirts range from $9.99 to $24.99, depending on which pattern and style you want.

Available patterns include plaid, twill, mini check, solid and more. With a wrinkle-free design, these shirts are perfect whether you're going for a business casual or formal look.

Pricey brands charge much more for similar looks. The check print Men's Wrinkle-Free Kennebunk Sport Shirt is $59.99 at L.L. Bean, and Paul Fredrick's check print Non-iron Cotton Windowpane Dress Shirt is $95.

You may want bike shorts for biking or simply to wear when the weather is hot and you're going for a walk.

Grab a pair of Kirkland Signature Ladies' Brushed Bike Shorts with a cargo pocket for $13.99 at Costco. You can choose from three different colors and a variety of sizes.

You can also check out Athleta, which also has biker shorts with a cargo pocket. The Athleta Salutation Stash Cargo 9-Inch Shorts cost $79 in either black or olive.

You can buy more clothing for less if you don't care about high-end name brands. Many pricier pieces look similar to off-brand items but at only a fraction of the cost. Your friends and neighbors probably won't mind or even notice that your clothing isn't designer. So, why not keep more money in your wallet?

Kirkland Signature is a good brand alternative for some people. It all depends on what you're looking for. If Kirkland doesn't quite match your style, there are plenty of other store brands that might.

And don't forget about store brands for groceries, either. Shopping for generic brands is one way you can save on your food bill despite high grocery grocery costs.
