Primark is selling a stylish £28 jacket that could be easily mistaken at a glance for a £297 version. The Faux Leather Collar Canvas Jacket draws on the "worker style" trend that's inspired countless designers, with everyone from Isabel Marant to Olive offering their take on the look. But while Isabel Marant's sold-out Julie short workwear style jacket was offered for £297, down from £495, and Olive's Beige Emi Contrast Collar Jacket is listed for £69, down from £139, Primark's jacket is £28 at full price. Naturally, shoppers can expect differences in design, but Primark's jacket offers an affordable option for shoppers keen on the popular style.
Primark's product description says: "The canvas or worker jacket has definitely entered the chat." It added: "Our style of this trend has a contrasting dark brown faux leather collar (to make it less workie), while the ribbed hem and cuffs create a flattering silhouette.". The full-length jacket also features two front pockets and snap buttons, making it "easy to layer over your favourite jumper or T-shirt." However, it's worth noting that there's no hood, and the coat can't be dry-cleaned, though it can be washed and tumble-dried.
For shoppers looking for a similar style elsewhere, M&S also offers its M&S Collection Cord Collared Relaxed Jacket for £45, Abercrombie and Fitch offers its Denim Workwear Jacket for £85, and on Amazon, the YEXPINE Women's Casual Cropped Jacket starts from £40. Primark's men's section offers a similar Stronghold Corduroy Collar Jacket in two colours for £30. The website also lists a variety of faux leather jackets. The women's offering includes a £22 Faux Leather Bomber Jacket and a £17 Essential Faux Leather Biker Jacket.
For men, there's a £55 NBA Chicago Bulls Faux Leather Jacket. There's even options for kids, including a £14 Faux Leather Biker Jacket and a £14 Faux Leather Gilet Jacket. It comes as Primark has impressed shoppers after they discovered its latest stationary range, starting from £2.50. Many customers did not realise that the popular retailer sold such items, making the discovery even more exciting.
