I’m a curvy size 16 & I’ve found the best autumn coat from Primark – there’s also winter boots that are better than Uggs
A FASHION fan has stocked up on a range of brilliant buys from Primark – all of which are perfect for looking stylish in winter.
So if you need a new coat or a stylish pair of boots for the change in season, then you’ve come to the right place.
Rebecca Sudwarts, a fashionista who is five foot eight and in between a size 14 and 16, was lucky enough to get her hands on a range of must-have Autumn/Winter buys from Primark, including a pair of boots that are ‘so comfy and warm’.
Not only this, but she also nabbed jeans and jackets that are great for winter too.
So if you fancy treating yourself to some new clothes, but are on a budget and can’t afford to splash too much cash, then you’ll need to run down to Primark, and fast.
The curvy fashion fan, who is from the UK, took to social media to share her honest thoughts on her new Primark haul, leaving many very impressed.
Posting online, the ex Senior Fashion Buyer kicked off her haul and said: “I’m back with a great Primark haul. I’m so impressed with Primark’s footwear at the moment, you’re going to be so impressed with what’s in these bags.”
First things first, the content creator tried on a grey long-sleeved top and a pair of blue straight leg jeans, as she beamed: “This jersey body is £7 and it’s a really lovely, lightweight quality, you wouldn’t get too hot in it and it would be a perfect layer to wear under knitwear and coats.
“I’m such a fan of Primark jeans, these are £16. They’re 100% cotton, they’re really nice quality and they don’t feel too tight, you could wear them all day. I think they’re super flattering.”
She also showed a pair of new boots, as she added: “How cute are these boots? £22, a teddy borg.
“The insole is really sturdy, it’s padded and super warm and cosy.”
Following this, she tried on a £38 brown coat, as she continued: “I managed to get my hands on this coat – I love the colour.
“I really like how it falls open, but done up, it’s a nice shape.”
Rebecca also showed off a £21 knitted bomber jacket, as she explained: “I then saw this knitted bomber which I love.
“It does contain some wool, it’s a really nice quality, thick, it would keep you super warm in the winter.”
Why is Primark the place to go to for bargains?
JUST how does Primark do it? Continue delivering on-trend items at such incredible prices? According to bosses, it's down to four points.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to that, they are able to make savings by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- While their clothes offer the “latest trends”, they “don’t use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And lastly, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores”. This includes things like asking “suppliers to pack our t-shirts so they are ready to go straight on shelf”.

The influencer was thrilled when she modelled a £19 cardigan, as she expressed: “This cardigan caught my eye, I love the brown and the grey colour combination.
“It’s got quite a premium handwriting for Primark. It layers perfectly over the jersey body.”
The best Primark buys for autumn 2024
Autumn is upon us, and it's time to make some additions to our cosy wardrobes.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 5 buys from Primark this Autumn.
The Edit Overcoat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.
Extra Large Croc Effect Shopper, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.
Square Neck Leopard Midi Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.
Barrel Denim Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.
She also nabbed a £36 faux suede bomber, which left her beaming: “It feels very, very heavy. It would keep you super warm, the quality inside is really nice.
“I think this is such an amazing coat for the price, I love the little buckle detail.
“It’s an incredible colour, a really good colour for the season.”
Primark's history
PRIMARK first opened in 1969 as Pennies in Dublin, hoping to provide affordable fashion in Ireland.
A Primark store officially opened as Primark in 1974 in Derby.
The retailer now has 193 stores across the UK and 441 stores worldwide with a goal of running 530 stores by the end of 2026.
And to finish off her haul, Rebecca tried on a pair of £18 boots, which she thought would be great for Ugg fans, as she shared: “I absolutely love these. They are fully fur lined.
“They have a padded insole, they feel so comfy and so warm.
“A really nice alternative to Ugg boots.”
