Primark fans divided over ‘2012 throwback’ Christmas buy with some claiming it’s a ‘yeast infection waiting to happen’
PRIMARK shoppers have been left totally divided over a new festive find.
Whilst some were impressed with the ‘2012s throwback’ buy, others claimed it was a ‘yeast infection waiting to happen’.
It comes after one shopper took to social media to show off two of the new-in Primark buys, leaving many open-mouthed.
Not only is there a gorgeous diamante bralette that’s sure to turn heads this festive season, but there’s also a pair of sequin hot pants too.
And it was the sequin hot pants, which are priced at just £10, that left fashion fans divided.
Whilst some were impressed by the black high-waisted beaded hot pants, not everyone was on the same page.
Many were concerned the eye-catching garment would be itchy and cause thrush.
Sequin hot pants were first popular back in the early 1970s, especially in the context of disco culture.
They then re-emerged in the early 2000s and were worn by many partygoers of all ages.
But it appears that they are now back – and so if you’re looking for a fabulous throwback for the festive season, these bedazzled hot pants are sure to be just the thing for you.
The sequin hot pants can be found in Primark’s underwear section – and how you wear them depends on how brave you are.
They’ll leave little to the imagination, but we think they’ll look fabulous paired with an oversized blazer, tights and boots.
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @prmrk.new.in, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 205,600 views.
Why Primark is great for looking expensive on a budget
By Clemmie Feildsend, 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.
Social media users were left totally divided over the sequin knickers and many flocked to the comments to share their thoughts.
One impressed person said: “The sequin knickers are giving Carrie Bradshaw on the catwalk!”

Meanwhile, another tagged a friend and added: “Let’s go matching.”
However, at the same time, one user wrote: “I might be showing my age now but they’re definitely just for posing purposes only surely.
The best Primark buys for autumn 2024
Autumn is upon us, and it's time to make some additions to our cosy wardrobes.
Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 5 buys from Primark this Autumn.
The Edit Overcoat, £60
I know what you’re thinking, ‘£60 for Primark?’ Yes it’s a higher price tag than we’re used to from Primark but its worth every penny.
It’s from their Edit range which is more premium than the rest of their collection and it’s made to last.
It’s a mixed wool blend which is durable and warm, plus its a timeless straight silhouette which is slightly oversized and will last you not only this season but for many after.
Extra Large Croc Effect Shopper, £16
Big bags are back… In a big way, finally.
This tote screams luxury with its croc effect and burnt orange colour, plus its great for shoving in your laptop, lunch, spare shoes, purse – essentially everything you need for the day – all for £16.
Field jackets are on the backs of celebrities and catwalk models this season with designer brands Barbour, Burberry and Bottega all championing the utilitarian look.
They’re great for chucking over jeans or contrasting with a floral or floaty dress and are the perfect transitional jacket.
Square Neck Leopard Midi Dress, £18,
You may have seen, heard and read that leopard print isn’t going anywhere for autumn, so to encapsulate the trend this dress is a must.
Sleeves? Check. Midi length? Check. Ultra flattering square neck? Check. It’s got it all.
Pair with black knee high boots or your favourite trainers for the day and dress up with gold heels and accessories for the evening.
Barrel Denim Jeans, £16
Barrel, balloon, horseshoe – whatever you want to call them, they are the must have trouser shape of this season.
I’ve tried Primarks pair and they fit like a dream, are comfortable and flattering.
So if you think you have nothing that hits the trend mark, swapping your go-to denim for this shape will bring you bang up to date.
“Otherwise that’s a yeast infection waiting to happen.”
A second chimed in: “Ooooh no the itch they would give, who thought sequin knickers were a good thing.”
A third claimed: “Nobody wants thrush for Christmas.”
Whilst someone else confessed: “It’s giving 2012 when I use podium dance in night clubs.”
