Primark shoppers torn over £6 item back from the 90s

Primark shoppers have been divided over a £6 item that many of us will remember from decades gone by.

Women's bodysuits were popular in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, with many of us opting to wear the tucked-in style instead of a regular top. The idea is the pull in the garment creates a more streamlined look.

It also means your top will never become "untucked". Working as a base for your outfit, the bodysuit can then be paired with a skirt or trousers.

Primark is now selling sleeveless bodysuits in an array of colours for £6 each. But after a social post showed a snap of the garments, many were divided over them.

Twitter user missdcox, who uploaded the photo, said: "A clear example of humans not learning from the past". The tweet has since gathered thousands of likes and comments.

Some were less than impressed. Sarah Clark said: "I was there in the nineties. They are NOT a good idea...", while Plantapress said: "Is it 1991 again?" and Dianne said: "What next, shell suits?"

Stephen Bolton said: "Excuse my ignorance as an unfashionable male but wouldn't that be bloody uncomfortable?"

Others however were all for the new bodysuits. Catherine said: "They’re cute and made much better than they were in previous years. So I don’t really see the issue", and MissPB18 said: "I love wearing them!". Emma Moreton said: "I quite like mine".
