‘That scares me’ cry Primark shoppers as they’re divided over £18 buy that’ll keep you warm from head to toe this winter
SHOPPERS have been left divided over Primark’s new cosy offering – with some joking they feel too hot just looking at it.
With the dark nights and colder temperatures rolling in, we’re all looking at ways to add to the warm items in our wardrobes.
And Primark’s viral Velvet Plush Leggings and Tights are always a huge hit, quickly selling out in stores across the country.
Shop bosses previously hailed the pieces as “the ultimate combination of comfort, style and warmth” for autumn and winter.
So it’s unsurprising that the retail giant has looked to add to its cosy collection for 2024 with two new arrivals.
The Braehead store near Glasgow shared a clip of the new £18 velvet plush bodysuit and long-sleeved crew neck top on shelves yesterday.
Staff say the new arrivals are perfect for shoppers who are “always cold”.
The clever velvet plush inner lining aims to provide insulation and keep you comfortably warm in the coolest temperatures.
They’re not available on the website yet for click and collect, so you’ll need to be quick to bag them in stores.
Primark Braehead’s video showing off the cosy new buys has racked up more than 270,000 views on TikTok.
But shoppers have been left seriously divided over the bodysuit, as one gasped: “It looks like a wetsuit.”
A second wrote: “I love the leggings but the bodysuit is a no go.”
A third echoed: “Leggings? Yes. Top? Sure. bodysuit? Absolutely not.”
“I’d rather be cold then caught wearing that tbh”, said a fourth.
A fifth added: “That scares me.”
And a sixth joked: “I feel hot just looking at that.”
Other fashion fans, however, are loving the “extra warm” piece and are already racing to their nearest Primark to pick one up.
“I need a trip to Primark look at that onesie bodysuit thing”, gushed one person.
Someone else insisted: “This is a need.”
A third agreed: “Wait a minute why is this a need?”
“I really want this so bad”, chimed in a fourth.
Another person wrote: “Ooohh aren’t these perfect!!”
Meanwhile, a sixth exclaimed: “Stop it! If I go to my Primark and they don’t have these I’m going to cry!!”
Primark's best buys for Autumn
Heading into Primark soon? Keep an eye out for these items.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 6 buys from Primark this Autumn.
Coat, £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.
Bag, £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.
Jacket, £32
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.
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.
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.
Boots, £24
It’s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height – its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.
If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.
And the bodysuits aren’t the only products set to keep Primark shoppers cosy this winter.
Fashion fans have been left in a frenzy trying to get their hands on the new-in “drop of the season” shoes.
Not only are they ‘comfy and warm’, but they’re super affordable too.
So if you want to look stylish this winter but without breaking the bank, you’ve come to the right place.
And particularly if the thought of spending £100 on a pair of Ugg Tasmans sends shivers down your spine, fear not, as Primark has got just the thing for you.
The much-loved chain has just released their own dupe version of the iconic slip-on slipper shoes, at a fraction of the price.
There’s three gorgeous colours to choose from, but if you want to get your hands on a pair, you’ll need to move fast, as they’re selling quickly.
