Primark shoppers 'running' for £8 top with 'early 2000s' style

Primark is stocking a new £8 style that has shoppers feeling like they've "gone back to the early 2000s." Customers are so impressed that they say they'll be "running" to stores to find the cropped top, which comes in a trendy chocolate brown colourand boasts long sleeves, button detailing and a white lace trim.

Fans are adamant they "need" the style, which caught attention when @chris_fairley showcased it on social media. Posting on TikTok, Chris shared a video highlighting the style, which he found in Primark Liverpool.

In the clip, Chris offered a 360° look at the £8 top. He wrote: "New Elena Gilbert style tops just landed in chocolate brown." Social media users loved the new style.

However, there was a different response from some commenters. Reacting to the video, there were several shoppers who said they would have liked the top if it wasn't cropped.

Suggesting style recommendations, one such viewer wrote: "Will they please make one of these tops but not cropped, istg I like cropped sometimes but not on everything."

Someone else replied: "If they weren’t cropped I would be running to get those." A commenter agreed: "Need it but hate when everything is cropped." A similar response read: "I HATE that its cropped sm."

While the new top doesn't look like it's currently listed on Primark's website, shoppers can locate their nearest store here. There aren't many similar styles on the website, but there are lots of chocolate brown options for fans of the colour, which has proven popular this season.

There's a £10 Oversized Jersey T-Shirt, £10 Wide Leg Drawstring Leggings, £11 Straight Leg Airport Joggers, £7 Drawstring Jersey Shorts, £8 Jersey Tank Midi Dress, £20 Belted Midi Shirt Dress, and £25 Voile Maxi Dress.

Shoppers could mix and match many styles thanks to the "classic" designs. For instance, the product description for the Wide Leg Drawstring Leggings says: "An easy-to-wear pair that will see you through this season and beyond, these leggings offer an elevated take on a timeless wardrobe classic.

"The elasticated waistband enhances comfort and fit, meanwhile the drawstring detail ties everything together. These leggings are cut to a wide leg silhouette, edging them with an easy-breezy vibe that's perfect for warm weather days. Style them up or dress them down, this is one pair you'll wear on repeat!"
