And don’t worry, these gorgeous summer looks come from Primark, so if you’re on a budget, you’ll be happy to know they won’t break the bank.
Fashion fans took to social media to show off their ‘realistic try-on haul’.
The influencers wrote: “We’ve teamed up to bring you four key summer looks in two different forms that will really give you the freedom to go anywhere.
“From the beach, to brunch, to a wedding. They would even look great over a denim jacket in our British summer.”

At the beginning of the clip, we see Kate, who is 5’5″ and wears a size 10, next to her best friend Rebecca, who is 5’8″ and is between a size 16 and a size 18.
To start the purchase, they first put on a stylish striped dress, which cost just £18.
Kate beamed, delighted with the find: “I really love the shape. It accentuates my hips.”
Rebecca added: “I actually think it creates a great shape for both of us. The chevrons hide my tummy, it’s super comfortable, really flattering for both shapes.”
Next, the couple tried on a colorful outfit.
As they showed off the £12 top and matching £16 skirt, Kate asked: “How cute is this?”
Rebecca added: “This is a really pretty outfit. And it’s so roomy, you could definitely size down. Plenty of room.
“You can wear this to dinner, you can wear it formal or informal.”
For outfit three, the couple wore the same £25 dress, with Kate wearing brown and Rebecca in white.
The history of Primark
PRIMARK first opened its doors in Dublin in 1969 as Pennies, with the aim of providing affordable fashion in Ireland.
In 1974, a Primark store officially opened in Derby as Primark.
The retailer now has 193 stores in the UK and 441 stores globally, with a target of 530 stores by the end of 2026.
Kate said: “I really like it,” while Rebecca continued: “It’s a really good price for this dress, it’s a really beautiful embroidery detail.
“It’s very flattering, it pulls us in at the waist and hides my tummy, my problem area.”
Kate then explained: “There’s so much space in here, it’s perfect for eating out. You don’t have to worry about feeling bloated at all.”
Why is Primark the place to go for bargains?
HOW does Primark do it? Keep delivering on-trend items at such unbelievable prices? According to bosses, it comes down to four things.
- They “sell a lot of items” – Thanks to them they can save by buying in bulk for their 191 UK stores
- They “do very little advertising”
- Although their clothes represent the “latest trends”, “they do not use expensive hangers, tags or labels”.
- And finally, they try to be “as efficient as possible when transporting products from factories to stores.” This includes things like “asking suppliers to package our t-shirts so they can go straight on the shelves.”

Not only that, but Rebecca assured, “And if you’re a little arm-conscious, the little puff sleeve to hide the arms too. Another winning dress.”
The final dress in the collection was a glamorous off-the-shoulder satin gown.
Rebecca was delighted with the £22 occasion dress, saying: “This is an incredible dress.”
