WITH the chillier months now here, many fashionistas have already swapped their dresses with trousers.
But according to one savvy style lover there’s no need to ditch your favourite mini skirt or faux leather shorts – you can still wear the summer essentials without freezing and shivering outside.
This is because the popular high street retailer Primark has come to rescue once again, with the annual return of their much-loved High-Rise Plush Lined Leggings.
Whether you’re looking to brave the cold weather or simply want to snuggle up during a movie marathon, these leggings are the ultimate combination of comfort, style and warmth.
Designed to fit like a second skin, the purse-friendly buy is crafted with an elasticated waist and a velvet plush inner lining that aims to provide insulation and keep you comfortably warm in the coolest temperatures.
Pair it with a hoodie and boots for a snug ensemble whilst running errands or picking your kids up from the school.
Alternatively, wear it under your jeans for an additional layer of warmth.
With an affordable price tag and seemingly never-ending styling options, it’s no surprise that the winter essential is flying off the shelves.
One person to recently prove just how effective lined leggings are is Lauren Candy, who took to TikTok to demonstrate the numerous outfits she came up with.
Although the fashionista didn’t specify where she had bought her thermal layers from, Primark’s version is amongst the cheapest, going for a mere £7.
One of the fabulous outfits Lauren (@laurencandy3) modelled included a gorgeous knitted mini skirt in cream that she had paired with sexy knee-high boots and a burgundy jumper.
Another fit, just as stylish and perfect for running errands, consisted of wide leg jeans, a comfy oversized jumper and the on-trend platform Uggs.
The third outfit we’re totally obsessed with was a figure-hugging knitted dress she was donning with heeled boots from New Look – ideal for a winter date or going for a brunch with your friends.
”Lauren, aren’t you cold?” she chuckled in the now-viral video, which has racked up a staggering 3million views in less than a week.
Replying to some of the comments, the fashion lover explained that she used to sweat when wearing more than one layer – but it’s all changed with age.
Fabulous Fashion Editor On Autumn Trends
WANT to look fabulous this season? Then listen up…
Here, Fabulous’ fashion editor, Clemmie Fieldsend, says these are the top 5 trends from the hottest catwalk designers for autumn 2024.
BOHO: The boho revival is a much needed breath of fresh air for autumn and means you can wear your sheer tops, girly frocks and big jeans with heavy duty boots.
But if the clothes aren’t for you think, big accessories like slouchy tote bags, big earrings and bigger bangles.
TEXTURE: Be it smooth leather, sumptuous faux fur or soft suede, textures are everywhere this season.
They add depth to your look, making you stand out as well as look more expensive.
BURGUNDY: Maroon, oxblood, berry- whatever you choose to call it fashion is seeing red this autumn.
The deep and rich colour is everywhere and works best with greys, black, dark blues and in head-to-toe.
LADY LIKE: Matching top and cardigan sets and pencil skirts sound dated but they go hand-in-hand with lady-like.
Mix with satin cami dresses and waisted blazers for an ultra feminine look.
LEOPARD PRINT: This season 75% of the catwalk was leopard print, according to Tagwalk – a huge majority.
It crawled its way in last season but its rife for autumn and all over the high street, be it shoes or floor sweeping coats, it’s a must have trend.
”I used to be that but idk [I don’t know] as I’m getting older I feel it in my bones.
”It’s so toasty,” she was raving over the winter must-have.
Hundreds flocked to share their thoughts, with one joking: ”And then you enter a heated room and you pass out from the heat.”
Another agreed, writing: ”nice and cosy outside. sweaty and overheating indoors.”
Someone else hit back at the critics, commenting: ”People complain about everything. This looks perfect.”
”Yasss and people call me crazy for wearing leggings under jeans. Like no I hate the cold,” a fourth quipped.
