Mums slam Primark over new 'matching' range that's not 'inclusive' for boys

Twinning with your little one is a major trend on social media, and numerous celebs are a fan of doing it. So much so, that fashion brands are making 'mini-me' style outfits so your little one can be as fashionable as you are.

Primark fans have been left divided, however, after noticing that there are cute spring matching outfits for mums and their daughters - but they've been angrily asking where are the opportunities for them to dress similarly to their sons.

A number of fuming 'boy mums' took to Primark's TikTok account @primark and slammed the fashion brand for not being inclusive.

The video showed two mannequins in identical floral patterns, and written over the top of the video was: "Time to twin with your little one."

The adult outfit was a cute midi-length dress, and the outfit for girls was a top and shorts set.

Over the top, the voiceover said: "I don't know who needs to hear this, but spring is coming."

Mums of boys headed to the comments section, however, to express their upset that they couldn't match with their sons this springtime.

One wrote: "Mums of boys would love it if Primark did a collection where you could match with the little men in your life!"

Another fumed: "We want to match our boys too! Come on now, my boy would rock that print in a pair of shorts."

"Crying in boy mum", someone else commented, whilst another added: "...and the BOYS???" followed by multiple blue hearts.

"Some mums have boys, believe it or not. Are we just not allowed to matchy match?", a distraught mum wrote.

"Us boy mums are forgotten", a TikToker fumed.

Those who could participate in the trend seemed particularly excited, however, with many mums tagging their pals, saying they were purchasing the matching outfits.

A spokesperson for Primark said: "We regularly have matching ranges for the entire family, including our famous Christmas fam jams and our Amalfi lemon range last summer. Keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming summer family collection, due in stores in about eight weeks!"

Would you want to wear a matching outfit to your son? Let us know in the comments.
