Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRIMARK has been sending shoppers into a frenzy after dropping some of its new cosy autumn buys. And even a footballer's girlfriend has insisted the high street giant is "slaying" with its new pieces.

The 24-year-old financial accountant regularly shares her fashion finds and outfit of the day picks on her social media. In a recent video, the fashionista revealed she's found the "perfect suede jacket for autumn" in Primark. And thanks to a savvy hack, she managed to bag the new season staple for just £14. Nicola said: "Stop what you're doing right now because I have found the most perfect, inexpensive suede jacket that all the girlies need this autumn. "Oh my goodness, the color of this is absolutely gorgeous. I'm not a huge fan of the more khaki kind of suede. I like the classic brown. "And you know what makes this even better? This cost me £14. This is Primark kids." She added: "Now I am a short queen but this is a size 12 to 13. So being small has its benefits. "I think that's gorgeous. I love that the buttons are covered with the same suede material and I just think the color of this suede is absolutely gorgeous. The fit, the style, the length. I love her. "You need to run.

"In a rich brown tone, it's made from a soft-touch faux suede fabric with classic shirt-style buttons and a smart collar for an effortlessly stylish feel. "Great for layering, this piece works just as well over jeans and a tee as it does with a dress and boots.

TikTok user Hannah Pearl, who goes by the handle '@hannahpearlr', recently shared her genius 'teen' shopping trick with her 29,000 followers. Instead of trawling through the adult clothes section, Hannah has found just as much luck - and significantly cheaper prices - in the children's department. Her video gained a massive 286,000 views, inspiring other budget-conscious shoppers to flock to Primark's kids' section. Hannah, who is 5ft, demonstrated how heading directly to the children's department and looking for age 13-14 clothing can lead to some absolute wardrobe wins. And this clever trick means you can refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank - win, win!

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.
