Primark showcased denim, heels and a corset as one of its latest 'must have' outfits but shoppers had mixed views with some questioning the suitability of the corset top as daywear. When the fast fashion retailer teamed a pink lace detailed top with jeans and heels, and did the same combo with a white corset top, fans sat in one of two camps.
Some shoppers fell in love with the look. One fan commented: "Omg, omg, I need, I want!", with another adding: "Need those bralettes, especially the pink". A third person said: "Let’s go to Primark NOW" and another simply commented "obsessed". One shopper asked a friend: "Are we this brave?".
However, other shoppers were not so impressed. "That's not a going out top! That's a bedroom top!!" exclaimed one person after viewing the outfit suggestions. Another, referring to a character from 90s hit film Pretty Woman, said: "Kit Deluca wants her outfit back." Comments continued. Another shopper asked: "I'm sorry but when was it ever appropriate to wear a nearly see through corset outside - you [are] really encouraging the younger generation the wrong way."

Primark posted pictures of the two outfits on Instagram gaining over 22k likes in just four days. The retailer wrote: "Mid-week date night looks. Which colour would you choose? Corsets from £12/€14/$16, keep an eye out for these landing in store soon #Primark #WaysToWear".
The push up lace corsets comes in cream and bright pink and the store has paired them with denim jeans and either cream or black heeled sandals. In the main, the comments on the post were positive.
However, shoppers had their own ideas on how to wear them. "A red one with those black heels and a mini skirt though", said one person. "This for your date night with a blazer?", suggested another person.
