I’m a fashion expert – the things I always buy in Primark that are worth the cash but why the lingerie is a no-no

PRIMARK is most people's one-stop shop when it comes to beauty, fashion and homeware.

Although the prices always reel us in, there are of course some items that still aren't worth the bargain they're made out to be.

That's why I sat down with Fabulous' in-house fashion expert, Clemmie Fieldsend, to find out which Primark items are actually a steal and which ones are best left on the hanger.

The Edit clothing range

Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend says: 

Primark is excellent for everyday essentials. 

Their not-so-basic-basics from The Edit is full of everything you need. 

They pull together a selection of high quality pieces to give your outfits a more luxury feel. 

Essentially, it's your favourite Primark go-tos just a bit fancier. 

They use high quality fabrics in simple designs but with elevated detailing. 

For example I love this do-everything dress.

It's the perfect frock to throw on for work, the weekend or to be dressed up for a wedding. 

Denim

One of the biggest jewels in the Primark crown is their denim.

If, like me, you were left at a loss when Topshop shut down and couldn’t find another go-to shop for your jeans, my budget friendly favourite is Primark. 

They have every shade, shape and colour under the sun so you’ll be guaranteed to find a pair that's right for you. 

Pyjamas

And don’t forget about nightwear. 

Primark do gorgeous sleepwear, whether you love a simple cotton matching set or a sumptuous satin co-ord, their ranges are long lasting and comfortable.

Our fashion expert also revealed the two items she would never snatch up from the store.

T-shirts

Even though Primarks T-shirts start from just £2 , it's not worth it. 

After just a handful of washes they become completely misshapen and sometimes bobby, more so with the thinner styles like their vest.

However, keep an eye out for any tees that fall under The Edit, even though they’re slightly higher in price they will last you much longer, saving money in the long run. 

Undies

Primark's underwear ranges have continued to grow and grow, but they’re still not something I would choose to buy. In particular, their bras. 

I find the sizing so varied, and quality too.

You can buy some gorgeous delicate lace bras, but after a few rounds in the washing machine they become misshapen or torn.

And other bras with lace or the smallest bit of padding appear lumpy through tops - even thick jumpers.
