Shoppers run to Primark for £20 summer outfit that's a '90s rewind' and perfect for holiday
SHOPPERS have been racing to Primark to bag a pretty holiday outfit that's a "90s rewind" and only costs £20. The bargain retail giant has super-sized the floral trend with its oversized hibiscus print co-ord. 3 Primark's new summer outfit is only £20 3 The lightweight skirt is perfect for holidays 3 Fashion fans say the top is giving 90s vibes The cropped mesh top is priced at just £8 while the matching midi skirt will only set you back £12. And fashion fans have insisted the cowl neck cut and loud print are a throwback to the 90s, while the lightweight material is perfect for the sunshine. Both pieces are available in sizes XXS to XL and come in black or pink with a red floral pattern. Describing it on the website, the Primark team say: "Make a statement in this cropped mesh top with a bold red hibiscus print on a black base. Read more in Fabulous "The semi-sheer mesh fabric gives it a light, airy feel, while the fitted silhouette and cowl neckline add a touch of effortless style. "Sleeveless and cropped, it's perfect for summer and pairing with the matching skirt. "Whether you're overseas or basking in the sun at home, this top brings a splash of tropical vibes to your wardrobe." Staff at the bargain chain's Lincoln store warned shoppers to "run don't walk" if they want to get their hands on the set while they showed it off in a TikTok video. Most read in Fabulous And fashionistas have already been going wild for it, as one gushed: "Lovely for night out." "I need one for hols", wrote a second. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe A third added: "Why is Primark actually eating lately." "Okay loveee", cried a fourth. A fifth added: "So cute." Meanwhile, a sixth chimed in: "1990's rewind." But not everybody is convinced by the bargain outfit's retro vibes. "Some people rock this as wallpaper in their living rooms", one joked. A second chimed in: "Looks like a nan's kitchen table cloth." "Used to have wallpaper that looked like that", a third insisted. Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Screams 1990s .. also seen wallpaper like this I'm sure." 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.

Woman 'kicked out of luxury Hilton Hotel breakfast' for 'inappropriate' outfit
A woman has claimed she was booted out of the breakfast area at a Hilton Hotel for wearing what was deemed an "inappropriate" outfit. Saffron, who shares content on TikTok under the username @saffronmariexx, flaunted the ensemble that caused a stir. She donned a satin-like set of structured pyjamas paired with flip-flops. In a subsequent video, she recounted that her hotel stay was meant for some "self-care," yet she was taken aback when denied entry to the breakfast buffet around 7:30am. Saffron recounted: "When I got there, I was told I was dressed inappropriately." She blasted the hotel's policy as "absolutely ridiculous" and maintained that she looked "cuter than everyone there", reports the Mirror. To regain access to the breakfast service, she "quickly got changed". Nonetheless, she conceded that the shorts she wore in her second attempt were even shorter. Reflecting on the incident, she chuckled: "The second outfit was actually worse than the first one." The incident sparked debate among commenters, with some questioning: "Why would you wear pyjamas to breakfast?". One person commented: "Nowhere allows it due to upholding a certain look. Some places even turn you away for wearing sliders." Another expressed disapproval of Saffron's choice, stating: "You get dressed to go to a restaurant." Yet another pointed out: "It's a luxury hotel, so they have high standards, and wearing PJS is a no-no." Some critics went further, branding Saffron as "lazy and entitled" and urged her to "have some dignity" instead of stepping out in her nightwear. Others rallied to Saffron's defence, however. One commented: "I don't get why people are saying 'why would you wear pajamas' it's legit a breakfast in a hotel". Another supporter chimed in: "It makes no sense that hotels frown upon it, you're still dressed." Whilst it remains unclear which specific Hilton branch Saffron was visiting, dress codes differ between establishments. Most maintain at least a smart casual standard. Smart casual represents a dress code combining well-tailored, refined pieces with relaxed styling elements. It sits between formal business attire and everyday leisurewear. For gentlemen, this typically involves chinos or fitted trousers paired with a button-down shirt or crisp polo, potentially complemented by a blazer whilst omitting a tie. For ladies, smart casual might encompass a blouse or sophisticated top with dress trousers or a skirt, or perhaps a simple dress matched with flats or modest heels. The desired appearance should remain neat, harmonious, and respectable, eschewing overly relaxed garments such as torn denim, slogan T-shirts, or sportswear. Given this criteria, one could reasonably deduce that the breakfast setting maintained a more 'relaxed' atmosphere since Saffron was permitted to wear shorts, yet pyjamas remained unacceptable.
