Shoppers go wild for Primark's £16 ‘summer vibe' trousers that are perfect for a round belly and bloat-friendly
The bargain retail giant's Striped Seersucker Trousers have been hailed as the ideal buy for fashionistas with "round bellies".
And the best part? They're only £16.
So if you're looking for a comfortable new buy to get you through the summer months without breaking the bank, you've come to the right place.
The trousers, which come in sizes XS to XL, are available in blue or green stripes.
They have a drawstring waist for extra comfort and are described as a "relaxed fit".
In the online description, the Primark team adds: "Add a little texture to your wardrobe with these striped seersucker beauties.
"Cut in a regular fit with a mid-rise waist, they're designed with a comfy drawstring fastening and easy wide legs for that laid-back feel.
"Pair with the matching waistcoat for an effortless co-ord look or mix it up with a simple tee or tank. A fit that can take you from day to night? Sorted!"
Unsurprisingly, shoppers have been racing to their nearest store to get their hands on the flattering trousers.
In a TikTok post, fashion fan Carys hailed them as a "summer vibe" that's perfect for a "round belly and bloat-friendly".
She added: "WELL WELL WELL, Primark brought the belly friendly GOODS this summer and I'm so here for it.
Primark's mini dress is a copy of a £135 designer version - it'll give you a gorgeous hourglass figure & perfect for date night
"As someone who struggles to find smarter pieces that work for my belly/body this gave me HOPE again.
"Finding pieces that look smart but don't leave you feeling uncomfortable and angry at your body is the BEST FEELING!!"
Another social media user chimed in: "I have these and got a M I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and usually a 14/16. I'd definitely size down as they seem to run large and have sooo much stretch."
A third cried: "Stoppp! I have to go to Primark now!"
"Need some trousers like that for the school run", wrote a fourth.
Meanwhile, a fifth said: "I picked up the trousers yesterday! Super comfy."
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.
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.

Rick Astley gives honest take on ‘Never Gonna Give You Up'
Rick Astley says his hit song 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is 'ingrained' in him, reflecting on its lasting impact at the Silver Clef Awards 2025 in London on Wednesday evening (2 July). 'If you cut me open, it says 'Never Gonna Give You Up' in the middle,' he told The Independent at the ceremony where he was presented with the Outstanding Achievement in Music award. The song recently surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, amounting to more than 6,700 years of continuous listening. 'I'm kind of super grateful that I am the age I am, and I started in the eighties because we didn't have social media, we didn't even have the internet,' he said. 'I think things were a little bit softer and fuzzier back then.'

Bobby Brazier can't hide his smile as he leaves National Film Awards with his ex girlfriend Tillie Amartey after new twist in family feud with dad Jeff
Bobby Brazier enjoyed a glam reunion with his ex girlfriend Tillie Amartey at the National Film Awards on Wednesday night. The EastEnders actor, 22, couldn't hide his smile as he left London's Porchester Hall with the Waterloo Road actress after the glittering ceremony. The on/off couple were last spotted together on their Instagram Stories in August 2021, with a source saying they ended their relationship in March 2022. Tillie, 22, looked gorgeous in a black halter-neck dress for the awards do, whilst Bobby spruced up in a dapper tux. A beaming Bobby led the way through the crowded party exit before the pair were spotted strolling close together to a waiting car. While they haven't been romantically linked for three years, Bobby and Tillie have remained close since their break up. Throughout his Strictly experience the EastEnders actor was said to be 'constantly messaging' Tillie. Insiders revealed in October 2023, during Bobby's Strictly sint, that he was 'besotted' with his ex. A source told The Mirror that he was doing all the running and was keen for a reconciliation with his on/off love: 'Bobby was really keen on her, but she decided to call time on the relationship, feeling they weren't compatible.' 'There was no big row and, as they have always been on/off, Bobby hasn't given up.' They added: 'He is doing all the running at the moment. Bobby is messaging Tillie constantly in between rehearsals and has also asked her to the Strictly studio. 'Tillie does really like him, but she is based in Manchester and hasn't decided if she will come down to see him.' Fast forward to December 2023 and Bobby sent Tillie his Strictly advice ahead of her appearance in the show's Christmas Day special. After his split from Tillie, Bobby was linked to glamorous fashion stylist Sienna Penman, as the pair snuggled up a day after the Strictly final. He has also been linked to fashion consultant Boadecia Evans. Most recently he was said to be dating singer Virginia Hampson, with the pair pictured packing on the PDA last summer. Bobby and Tillie's reunion comes after a new twist in the Brazier family feud saw it revealed that relations between the actor and his dad Jeff had become strained. Last month Jeff's youngest son Freddy told of his own bitter fall-out with his father. Bobby has recently been immersing himself in daily spiritual rituals, chanting mantras, preparing communal meals at Hare Krishna HQ in Soho, London. The Mail revealed that Bobby has turned to the organisation – which follows a branch of the Hindu faith – after relations became strained between him and his father, TV presenter Jeff. So difficult did things become between the pair that Bobby moved out of Jeff's Essex home into his own Soho apartment, which is near to the Hare Krishna temple. Jeff, resident parental expert on ITV 's This Morning, had cheered on his son for all his worth every week at Strictly. He also told Strictly viewers how strong their relationship was. But in truth, communication between the two has been scant. Meanwhile Freddy's difficulties with his father were apparently heightened when he tried to deepen his relationship with his grandmother, Jade's mum Jackiey Budden. Freddy, who starred with his dad on BBC1 show Celebrity Race Across The World, currently lives with his grandmother, despite his father's objections. The 20-year-old also admitted to smoking cannabis with his grandmother. While Freddy's rebellion is public, noisy and erratic, Bobby's is the polar opposite – yet perhaps no less hurtful for his father. Friends revealed to the Mail that Bobby, although no wild child, has been just as happy to push away his relatives as Freddy. Those relatives include Jeff's wife Kate Dwyer – who both boys have had 'ups and downs' with, according to those who know the family. And while Bobby may not be trading insults with his dad publicly, like his younger brother, he is also seeking to distance himself from Jeff, who Freddy accused of being controlling. A source close to the family said: 'Bobby's always had a spiritual side, but this is intentional. It's clear he's trying to leave all the fighting and noise behind. 'Freddy's rebellion is loud – drugs, public slanging matches and legal battles about his nana – while Bobby's is quiet. But actually it's just as defiant. 'He's turning his back on the life his Dad created for them in Essex and following his own path.'

Chelsea's new £60m Brazilian signing Joao Pedro leaves fans stunned with his answer to question on who the best player he's ever played with is
Joao Pedro has stunned fans with a surprise answer during a social media video confirming his blockbuster £60million move to Chelsea on Wednesday. The Brazil forward, 23, completed his switch from Brighton to Stamford Bridge to take the Blues' summer transfer spend in excess of £200m, as Chelsea continue to bolster Enzo Maresca 's squad ahead of their Champions League return next campaign. A versatile forward adept at both leading the line and playing as a shadow striker, Pedro arrives at Chelsea with Brazilian flair and Premier League pedigree, having formerly starred for Fluminense ahead of his move to Watford in 2020 and later Brighton in 2023. It therefore came as a shock to several fans on Wednesday when Pedro revealed that the best player he has ever played with is English veteran James Milner, who joined the Seagulls at the age of 37 in 2023. In the video shared by Chelsea on their social media channels, the £60m man shared that his football idol growing up was Brazilian icon Neymar and also gave a shout-out to Cristiano Ronaldo by admitting he is the best player he has ever played against. While Milner, 39, is undoubtedly a Premier League legend with a rich collection of honours, including two top flight titles and a Champions League trophy he earned with former side Liverpool, fans were surprised to see him held in such high regard by Pedro. The Brazilian was unveiled to Chelsea fans in a video of him doing keepy-ups on a beach One fan admitted he loved the answer in a post on social media. He said: 'They asked Joao Pedro whose the best player he's ever played with and he just said Milner. I rate that.' Milner, who is hunting down Gareth Barry's record for the most appearances ever in the Premier League and could break it next season after signing an extension with Brighton, has established a reputation for being hard-working and industrious rather than exciting and stylish. The consistency he has shown over his two decades in the Premier League has been an asset to clubs he has played for, including Leeds, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Man City, Liverpool and most recently Brighton. The veteran has also been endearingly labelled 'Boring James Milner' by parody fan accounts on social media, due to his approach to life away from football. In lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic, Milner shared that he was 'rationing teabags for the week' in a humorous video on social media. Milner also made fans laugh by revealing he would celebrate Liverpool's incredible Champions League triumph in 2019 by drinking 'lime and lemonade', while the rest of his team-mates enjoyed a boozy party. Pedro flew from Brazil to the United States on Sunday night to meet his new team-mates and hold his medical ahead of official signing. The Blues announced the signing with a video of the former Brighton forward doing keepy-ups on a beach against some Brazilian jazz music, with the words: 'Welcome to Chelsea, Joao Pedro.' "I might go a bit exotic!" 2018 semi-final win: Ribena 2019 final win: Lime and lemonade Never change, @JamesMilner 🤣🤣👏 🎙 @DesKellyBTS — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) June 1, 2019 Hey @Alex_OxChambo Barrels of laughs here in the Milner household as well - rationing the tea bags for the week👍👍 #crazydays #somuchtogetonwith #notgotthemovestocompete — James Milner (@JamesMilner) March 15, 2020 'Everyone knows this is a big club with a great history,' said Pedro of his new club. 'They had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now, so I am excited to join and you know when you are a Chelsea player you must think one thing - win.' Pedro was one of Brighton's brightest stars in the last two seasons after joining the Seagulls from Watford back in 2023. In that period he managed 30 goals and 10 assists in just 70 appearances, picking up admiring glances from Chelsea among others for his impressive displays. He now joins the likes of Moises Caicedo, Robert Sanchez and Marc Cucurella in joining from the Seagulls in recent years.
