THEY’VE been criticised in the past for their rising prices.
But Primark also does some epic bargain deals, as one lucky shopper found in their local store.
As well as a gorgeous cropped blazer, there were matching shorts – and the entire ensemble was “giving Chanel vibes”[/caption]
Chantelle took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook to share her incredible buy.
“£48 outfit for £4. Thank you, Primark!” she captioned her pictures.
The snaps showed a stunning blue striped cropped blazer, with beautiful knot-style silver buttons, alongside matching shorts.
The blazer had been reduced from £32 to just £3, while the shorts were £1 instead of £18.
As an added bonus, the shorts suit is made from 50% recycled polyester.
“I saw this in the shop and wanted it… it was giving me Chanel vibes,” one person commented on Chantelle’s post.
“You’ve got a real bargain there!”
“Love it, really beautiful. It could easily pass as a designer outfit,” another agreed.
“Wish I could wear that stuff now, too old!”
“Brilliant!” a third raved.
“Nice bargain. Primark is getting expensive now,” someone else commented.
“Primark?? What!!” another marvelled.
However, others were more interested in the original price of the Primark two-piece.
“Primark is giving audacity vibes lately,” one gasped.
“Primark has gotten quite expensive now but still same cheap quality,” another said.
“I prefer New Look or River Island for the extra £ and last a lot longer.” a third added.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, Fabulous Fashion Editor
AS someone who’s no stranger to grabbing a last-minute outfit from Primark for a night out, it’s about time that celebrities started catching on too.
For as long as I’ve been heading out, Primark has been my go-to for those “I have nothing to wear” moments, rushing in at the last minute to find something perfect.
And I’m definitely not alone – on any Friday or Saturday night, you’ll find plenty of shoppers doing the same thing, right before closing time.
But no matter what, Primark always delivers.
Now, Rita Ora is leading the charge, showing that you can snag a designer-worthy look without spending a fortune at high-end stores.
While Rita’s not rushing in last minute for a red carpet outfit, she’s proving you can achieve the same high-impact style for much less.
Looking stunning in her tailored suit alongside her mum Vera, Rita fit right in among the other A-listers dripping in Prada, Dior, and Victoria Beckham – if anything, she looked even better than some of the guests at The Fashion Awards.
With Myleene Klass and Roxy Horner already jumping on the Primark bandwagon, I’m sure more stars will be following suit soon enough.
“Wouldn’t pay full price – since when did Primark charge like that?” someone else questioned.
“Great bargain, I’m finding H&M prices at least for tops, shorts, trousers are better than Primark at full price – and quality is a bit better too,” another said.
“Just me thinking Primark is expensive now?” someone else asked.
“Who pays £48 for a two-piece from Primark. Usually £48 could get you a entire (slight exaggeration) nearly, wardrobe,” another groaned.
“Who even pays that kind of prices in Primark now?” someone else raged.
While Primark is known for their fashion offerings, the home department is fast eclipsing the style section in terms of popularity.
And it was revealed this week that the first-ever dedicated Primark Home store is to open in Manchester at the Trafford Palazzo.
Primark have said the 11,900 sq ft, two floor shop will bring together “the best of Primark’s interiors offering under one roof.”
It will host an expanded range of homeware and lifestyle essentials for Manchester shoppers to browse and buy.
