I shop there,its cool for disposable fun fashion.But I dont think anyone who shop there expects the clothes to last.
I also shop at Peacocks which is even better than Primark or Primani as some people have started calling it.
The only way you can get away with wearing cheap clothing is to have an expensive handbag and expensive shoes,otherwise your look will reek of chav..never mind ghetto.

ROTFL!
Well you know Vixen everyone has different finances so if thats all they can afford,thats all they can afford,yagetme?? Best not to take the piss and let them get on with it.
Also if you are young which I suspect you are and some of the Lewish-ites you mentioned you can get away with wearing budget clothes.
When you are early thirties like me you have to tart up the cheap tat with expensive accessories otherwise you'll look proper ruff,lol.

Yeah I save up for quality stuff too,but I also like the cheap stuff in Primark and Peacocks.
So I dont care if people know I only paid a fiver for a top,for me its more important to invest in good shoes,handbags and coats,i'm not really bothered too much about the other stuff.

primark is the place to go for a bargain, i dont watch labels and dont business bout what people say. my cousins alwasy like thats nice and im like xyz primark. i can afford to shop elsewhere but why buy a skirt for 30 quid when primark do the exact same skirt for 5 quid same material etc
jettblack listen its all about that nice handbag and nice shoes......but you know what i have bought some bargain shoes highly fashionable which are still going
peacocks thats shop is doing its stuff i love their sales but you know there is nothing like a primark sale its like their just giving it away.
everyone i know rocks primark. even the ones that dress in designer
aint no shame its not about wearing someone elses name
does anyone know if the primark has opened up its west end or oxford circus store yet. i will be there
primark in birmingham is heavy. its on three floors and massive.
peckham tooting very good too
i bought a glitter cardi for 30 quid it tore after 1 day. that wouldnt happen if it cost me 10 quid in primark...my boss calls it primera posh clothes for less dosh lol

You and me both jett! People are schocked when I say I've spent upwards of £100 on footwear etc but my justification is simple. I spend half my life in primark so i'm entitled to a damn treat! Womens fashion changes soooo quickly, its pointless spending nuff on cirtain things when you wond even be wearing it in a few months time.Funnily enough, i decided i needed some nice new shoes for work and got a lovely pair from office for £54.99. I wore them once before the leather on the little f**kers split  .I sent them back to head office and the b**tards refused to refund them. Yet, i've bought cute little pumps and even boots from Primark and they're goin strong long after i done worn them all 100 times over. So that makes me question the quality about a LOT of things these days let alone primark!

Dang!
Three floors of Primark? Id like to visit that shop,didnt know they were opening one on Oxford St,that place will be hella busy with all the rabid fashionistas in there on their lunch breaks,lol.
Shoes I cant mess about with,i'm very particular,yeah ive seen some nice"tribute"styles,but whilst i'm not at all a designer whore,im reeeeeeeeeeaaaaal particular about the quality of leather in my handbags and shoes,so I cant budget shop for those.

Yeah Primark has definately stepped up its game in the last few year,they've got a great design team in and there are some seriously cute things in there ....even the shoe styles are cute,however they are not the quality I require,but I do admire that they make high fashion more accessible for ordinary folk.
My shoes and bags are expensive but dont get me wrong im not gwaanin like Rockerfeller,these things are never bought on a whim and are a considered purchase,things which I do have to save or tighten my belt for.......but God they are so worth it.lol

I don't really do Primark, but my sister like some of you mentioned does the cheap shirt thing with expensive shoes/bags etc, which is great IMO.
It is not about the label or what you wear, it is more important how you wear it.

Truer words........
By the way NEVER go to Primark on a Friday or Saturday as the shop just resembles a jumble sale.

i love primark for certain things you know you probably wouldnt want to keep for long and most people with style can avoid the 'cheap' look with some decent coordination and nice accessories.
have you ever noticed those chavy types in their designer gear that most likely cost a fortune but there's just something about the way they carry themselves thats just 'rough'?

So do you think its about if you got style or not.
I know someone who always buys Primark. She has a few designer things like a prada handbag etc but you can see its worn out from about 5 years ago.
I saw an old school friend yesterday whilst i was with her and as my old friend walked off she whispered 'whose your pigeon friend'

vixen- not sure if you can see this pic but it's Mariah Carey, she has all the money in the world but to me there's just something cheap about her. In the old days when she had less control over her career i thought she looked well groomed and 'wholesome' but since she's taken control of her career and can make her own style decisions i think she looks a mess!
in manchester a few years ago all the chavs (we call them scallies) were wearing Rockports- those shoes that cost over a £100 a pair -but they would wear them with their tracksuits and the socks would be pulled up over the bottom of the trousers. It got to the point wear clubbing promotion flyers would say no jeans, no trainers, no Rockports!

| The primark in birmingham is massive! I shop there when i need some holiday clothes. Their swimwear and nightwear are ok, also they have nice jackets too. BUT the que's are off-putting. Sometimes i go in there find something i want, look at the size of the que then think 'nah i'm not spending 30mins in the que'. Actually saying that the people on the tills are quick.

Well i understand that you can have all the money in the world but if you aint got style then well you still look a mess and its true some people can wear a plastic bag and still look good.
But to me Primark is ghetto and i would never wear something outta there. Why would i wear an outfit which cost 15pound i aint that broke.

so would you buy something that was exactly the same elsewhere for triple the price just cus it was not from primark?
I hear what you say but i think too many people worry to much about name brands. I was like that when i was young but as you get older your priorities change e.g mortgage, kids, car and you cant spend vast amounts of money on clothes just cus the name. As long as something looks good i dont mind where it comes from (within reason). i would not buy a whole outfit from primark, but as someone else said its how you carry the clothes that count. Mariah carey is a good example of how expensive clothes can look cheap

So very true. I mean I don't have a mortgage, kids, car etc yet but trying to finance my education and not having the student loan to splash out with like I did when I was an undergraduate really shows you the value of money.

tk maxx is more dis organised than primark them rails go on for miles
you have to be determined in tk maxx
i have a friend who would never save money
she said although i see a designer top in tk maxx i will just got the 'proper' shop and spend the money, otherise she will feel cheap
she would never buy a 5 pound skirt as she must get the same skirt for more or her skin dont feel right
lol designers mek dat money

I like shops like primark, occasinally they have sumon for you. I bought a decent dress shirt from there recently £5. I bought a similiar one from Next cost me £35.
Do the maths.
Only concern about these shops are what methods they use to get their prices so cheap...ie sweat shops
@DM cant stand TK max and have never bought anything from there. As ladyday said its too disorganised. Shop makes you feel tired by the time you leave it and looks like a jumble sale.

Do the maths.
Only concern about these shops are what methods they use to get their prices so cheap...ie sweat shops
@DM cant stand TK max and have never bought anything from there. As ladyday said its too disorganised. Shop makes you feel tired by the time you leave it and looks like a jumble sale.
But a wah di rass?? I thought you were a bloke??
Now when you say "dress shirt" do you mean a shirt which is the length of a dress or are you talking in man terms as in dress shirt, a shirt you would wear for a slightly more formal occasion?

I'm a proper scrooge for money believe and I despise the idea throwing money away on label so I shop ANY place so long as I like the garms and it cheap. Mostly the market near my flat but Asda, TK max, Primark, Peacocks, Matalan alla dem places. In Asda man can get Jeans for £7 and work shoes for £10.
I'm a big fan of Camden Town too. Yeah it ain't like ol'school times there but it's still got fresh and original cheap things you can't get elsewhere.

Oh I see,coz dress shirt for us girlies is an actual dress,although to be fair its more commonly known as a shirt dress.

To be honest I never shopped there until they opened the big one in Croydon. I used to look at the one in Peckham and say no way am I going in there! However, yesterday I bought some things for the baby for our holiday - I mean, where else would you get a jumper for £3.50?
I bought Hubby a padded jacket in there for £11. I really couldn't believe the price.
Both my daughter and my brother swear by the place. My brother shocked me though - he was the original designer merchant until he got married, a mortgage and kids!
I must say I'm a bit of a snob though, and would prefer to shop at Matalan or Next.
TK Maxx is a joke. Typical pile 'em high mentality.

people always use that argument how do they get their prices so cheap
people need to remeber that all the big designers use sweat shops
why do you think you are able to get top quality designer gear of ebay so cheap from asia. now thats maths
whereas with these cut price shops they are so affordable
i often to see women in there with their louis vuitton handbag matching purse spending big money in there

@All good thread. My wife and I have a religion that we do not spend serious money for anything related to work or school. That is about wear and tear and replacement value. If we can get the same quality or thereabouts from elsewhere it is our duty and economic sense to do so. You spend money to model not in any white man's work place.
I have never shopped in Prmarks but I know my wife has and bought me work shirts and jumpers etc. My personal fav is Tescos and I get the added satisfaction being a share owner that I benefit financially in other ways. So its all good.
But the savings you make are not joking business. I was a true and true Marks and Spencers man from my graduate days where I used to buy good quality shirts and jumpers, underwear and socks etc by the bunch from there. But they weren't cheap.
Given the nature of my profession and my poor memory when I am deeply into something eg explaining to students etc. I had this habit of forgetting that I had not put my pen top back on or not switched it off or worse put board markers into my shirt pocket. Suffice it to say I have hundreds a(nd not joking when I say that) shirts with leaking pen marks in the pocket that you cannot get out and just have to dash. What really burned me is that very often they are expensive dressing shirts which I said cha that looks good with these trousers etc so I will bust it today and mash it up with board markers.
The money spent replacing those shirts weren't cheap and use to vex me. Now, if it happens occassionally no probs....
@Ladyday good moral point. But my response is this the money I save helps my people back home and that is a fact and in more ways than it helps Malaysians etc who are not my people. Even though I would not conciously go to buy slave wages goods. Equally, those who buy Latin American bananas are eating slave wage fruit at the expense of Caribbean produce which is not slave wage labour because we have a militant union history and culture.
But despite being opposed to the exploitation of those nations, they are not my people who are my primary responsibility and that is beyond matters of nation, or region eg Caribbean or tribal loyalties. I would not invest a penny in South Africa and closed down my Barclays Bank account when brother and sisters asked us to. Neither would I invest a penny in any gold minining or diamonds or any other company based on African exploitation.

@Ladyday
The so called designer clothes use the same sweatshops, they just add a label on top and charge more for it.

Greetings African
Would you have a Barclays Bank account now or do they deserve a lifetime ban?
