Primark's hottest fashion items for summer 2017

We all love a brand new Primark clothing drop. The fashion-forward high street giant is renowned for its never-ending stream of stylish, fun garms at seriously purse-friendly prices and the new collection doesn't disappoint.

We've scoured the 'new in' section of Primark - it's a tough job, we know - to bring you our edit of the most covetable items for the summer. Pastel pink is still having a moment - it's the perfect colour to help curate a pretty Instagram feed - so there's a couple of items in the shade to get your hands on, there's a gingham top perfect for this current heatwave and a novelty parrot bag guaranteed to turn heads. 

Here's our pick of the coolest styles from Primark's latest collection...

Keep cool in the current heatwave in this floaty top with peplum detailing. Gingham is bang on trend and the pastel pink floral embroidery ups the ante - pair it with white cropped skinny jeans and slides to complete the effortless look.

The pastel pink trend isn't going anywhere - get on board with these wide-leg trousers in the prettiest shade. You can dress it up with heels and a lace-adorned camisole, or go casual with slides and a slouchy tee. If you're feeling brave, show off the trousers to their full potential in a brightly-coloured crop.
