Shoppers run to Primark for new summer tracksuit – it comes in three colours and hailed the ‘perfect airport outfit'
SHOPPERS are racing to Primark this week after spotting a "cute" new tracksuit in store - and it's only £22. The two-piece set has already been hailed as the perfect airport outfit by delighted fashion fans. 5 5 5 So if you're jetting off on holiday soon and need a comfy outfit for travelling, you've come to the right place. And it's stylish as well as slouchy, coming in three gorgeous colours that will match a tan perfectly - dark brown, sage green and cream. The oversized T-shirt is priced at £10, while the tracksuit bottoms will set you back £12. If you hate cuffed trousers, they're the ideal pick for you too. Modelling the new sets in the changing room, a member of staff at Primark's Lincoln store said: "These T-shirt tracksuits are back and in the nicest colours yet! Who else wants all of them?" The clip quickly racked up 19,000 views, with fashionistas loving the new arrivals. "Need immediately", one gushed. A second cried: "Omg the brown!" "Already bought it", chimed in a third. A fourth insisted: "Omg I need one!" Fashion fans are 'loving' Primark's new £6 Zara dupe - it's a summer essential, half the price and 'so cute' Meanwhile, a fifth added: "Oh very cute." But a sixth did advise: "Defo size down twice I would recommend. Mine is massive, I already went down one size." Elsewhere in store, shoppers have found a winning summer dress that's floaty and great quality - and there's a mini-me version too. Amanda, the self-proclaimed "confidence queen' and size 14 fashionista, who regularly shares high-street fashion content online, has praised the Primark frock that's super floaty and cool. 5 5 She modelled the sleeveless V-neck Trapeze Mini Dress, that's ideal for holidays. Thrilled with the white trapeze frock, which features an elegant tiered shape, the content creator beamed: 'This one might just win me over girls, because there's a mini-me. 'The quality of this feels absolutely fantastic. It's lovely and floaty and oversized.' The mini dress is available not only in white, but green too and is priced at £20. Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget By Clemmie Fieldsend, 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.
