Primark fans wowed by 'flattering' £16 outfit with 'vintage twist'
The store has impressed shoppers with a vintage-inspired outfit that's ideal for sunny days Primark's "beautiful" new £16 outfit with a "flattering" shape and "vintage-inspired twist" has wowed shoppers. The retailer has long been popular with customers for its affordable clothing, and the latest summer staples could be another hit. Primark is stocking a £16 matching top and skirt that "brings a bright, playful touch to your summer wardrobe." The Shirred Cami Top is £8, and the Shirred Mini Skirt is £8, and are sold separately.. Primark also offers a similar orange outfit that's slightly more expensive: the £13 Gingham Shirred Top and £14 Tiered Mini Rara Skirt, totalling £27 for shoppers keen to buy this colour. Both sets proved popular on TikTok when @prmark_lincoln shared a video highlighting the new summer styles. The caption said: "Look at all that newness," while the video showcased various products, including T-shirts, dresses, and skirts. The pink and orange co-ords were featured at the beginning of the video. Replying to the post, one fan said: "I need." Another commented: "It's beautiful." A different viewer replied with love hearts, prompting the creator to respond: "So nice right?" According to Primark, the outfits are perfect for sunny days and easy to style, whether you prefer to wear the set together or mix and match with other items in your wardrobe. The pink cami top has a V-neck shape with spaghetti straps. The product description explains: "This pink gingham cami top brings a bright, playful touch to your summer wardrobe. The classic pink-and-white check pattern feels cheerful and timeless, while the cropped length pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans or skirts. "The bodice features shirring across the lower half, giving a stretchy, gathered fit that hugs comfortably around the waist. Above the bust, the fabric smooths out, creating a flattering V-neckline framed by thin gingham spaghetti straps. "Lightweight and breezy, this top is an easy way to add a sweet, vintage-inspired twist to your warm-weather looks." Meanwhile, the pink mini skirt has a shirred waistband and tiered design. The product description explains: "This shirred mini skirt is all about fun, frills and easy styling. Made from a soft, lightweight fabric, it comes in a pink gingham print that gives it a playful pop. The wide shirred waistband keeps it comfortable, while the tiered ruffle layers bring plenty of movement. Pair it with the matching top for a co-ordinated fit that will have heads turning." While the orange set looks similar, the top has a scoop neckline that differentiates it from the pink version. Primark shared styling suggestions for the orange set, saying it could also be paired with skirts and shorts, making it ideal for summer. The description explains: "Team it with the matching mini skirt or your go-to denim shorts for an effortlessly playful look. Light, comfy, and totally on-trend — this is one top your warm-weather wardrobe needs."

If you are not able to get to a Primark, Sun Travel created a guide to their favourite cabin bags, ranging from budget bargains to stylish statement pieces, all of which will make your trip worry-free. Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
