SHOPPERS are in a frenzy over the return of Primark’s fleece lined leggings, perfect for keeping you warm and cosy this autumn.
Summer is now well and truly over, and as Britain is battered by wind and rain this week, many of us may be wondering if it’s time to finally put the heating on.
However, with energy bills set to rise and the Winter Fuel Payment scrapped for millions this is not an affordable option for countless Britons.
Fortunately, Primark may be found the answer, with it’s Velvet Plush Leggings promising to keep you warm and cosy for just £7.
Highlighting the leggings on their fashion Instagram account @welovethehighstreet, one Primark fan shared a video of them in grey, navy, and burgundy.
They also come in a variety of other colours, including sand, taupe and black.
“I’m going back for a second pair as the burgundy are unreal on”, the fashionista declared.
The stylish leggings have a plush velvet inner lining, to add an extra layer of warmth.
They look great paired with a hoodie and boots, and you can also wear them underneath your jeans when it gets particularly cold.
The leggings come in sizes XS to XXL and can be purchased in store or via click and collect.
A description on the Primark website reads: “Designed to fit like a second skin, these leggings are 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.
“Whether you’re looking to brave the chilly outdoor or simply want to snuggle up indoors, these leggings are the ultimate combination of comfort, style and warmth!”
Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Instagram video, to share their love for the leggings.
Tagging a friend, one person said: “These would be perfect for Prague.”
Another person said: “It’s so cold this year, I need them all.”

Here, Fabulous fashion editor Clemmie Fieldsend reveals her top 6 buys from Primark this Autumn.
Coat, £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.
Bag, £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.
Jacket, £32
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.
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.
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.
Boots, £24
It’s boot season and instead of feeling like you need to buy one in every colour, length, height – its best to stick to a pair that you can wear with the majority of your wardrobe.
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw that this black, knee-high, block heel with flat point and side zip (so there’s no tug of war to get them off at the end of the day) was only £24.
If you buy one thing this season, it should be these.
A third person said: “I love these leggings, love the burgundy and navy.
“I’d like more colours.”
A fourth person, tagging a friend added: “These will be perfect for you as you’re always cold.”
And the leggings aren’t the only products keeping Primark shoppers cosy this autumn.
Shoppers are racing to buy the all-new Boyfriend Long Pyjamas, which will set you back a cool £15 and are available to buy in-store now.
“For nightwear that’s as stylish as your daytime wardrobe, you can count on these boyfriend pyjamas,” Primark bosses said.
“Made from a soft jersey, the long sleeve top features a reverse collar, button-up front and chest pocket for timeless charm.
“The coordinating trousers enjoy an elasticated waist that falls to a relaxed wide leg silhouette to offer a comfy wearing experience.
“You can layer these PJs with your fluffiest dressing gown for those moments you want to be extra toasty.
“Now, where do we add to basket?”
