Primark fan loves ‘cosy’ £6 thermal top that’s ‘perfect for layering in winter’

Customers loved the look and feel of the ‘cosy’ top, which is fleece-lined for colder weather

Primark has won over customers with a new £6 thermal top that is both ‘soft’ and ‘cosy’. The high street retailer is popular among shoppers seeking wardrobe staples, thanks to its reputation for offering affordable clothing.

One trending style is a £6 fleece-lined thermal top that wowed a shopper looking to update her wardrobe basics. Taking to social media, TikTok user @Fittingroomdiaries0 posted a video highlighting Primark’s £6 thermal tops in her local store, where she spotted grey, black, brown, blue, and burgundy colour options.

The shopper said: “The most softest thick basics.” Her caption continued: “Only £6 too! Need to stock up on these for winter,” and the video caught attention. To date, it has earned 150k views and almost 1k likes.

Someone wrote: “Need!” and the shopper replied: “Right brown & grey are my fave.” A second fan praised: “Burgundy looks nice.” Someone else said: “Need someone to try these one pls!!” Replying to the comment, @fittingroomdiaries0 shared a second post, trying on the tops in several colours. In her video’s caption, she said: “They’re super soft too.”

The video was viewed by a previous buyer who wrote: “I have these. They keep you cosy.” Someone else commented: “Need,” and @fittingroomdiaries0 agreed: “You do they’re so comfy.” However, an unimpressed shopper claimed: “I got a few mine have gone bobbly after washing tho.” Another replied: “Same was so disappointing as they are so warm.”

Thermal tops can be handy for layering during winter since they act as a base layer to control moisture and offer insulation without adding bulk. They are crafted to fit snugly against the skin, helping to retain body heat and draw away sweat, ensuring you stay warm and dry. Plus, they can easily be worn beneath work attire or other thicker layers.

Primark customers interested in the tops can find them online or in their local Primark store. Primark describes the clothing as a ‘cosy long-sleeve top with a fitted shape, crew neck and a curved hem.’ There are 10 colours to choose from, including pink, white, blue, dark blue, chocolate, and more.

The full product description says: “Made from a comfy fabric in a grey marl shade, it’s perfect for layering or wearing solo. The fitted silhouette hugs gently, while the crew neckline keeps things classic. A subtle curved hem adds shape and interest to the design, making it easy to tuck in or leave out. Whether you’re relaxing at home or heading out, this top brings warmth and versatility to your everyday wardrobe.”

Alternatively, the retailer offers a range of thermal options on its website, reports the Mirror. For those shopping for vests, there’s a £5 Thermal Pointelle Knit Vest in ivory or black, or for those shopping for long-sleeve tops, there’s a £7 Pointelle Thermal Top. The product description for the vest says: “Add a practical piece to your winter wardrobe with this thermal pointelle knit vest.

“Designed to act as a warming base layer, this sleeveless top is cut to a slim fit that can easily slot underneath other tops and T-shirts, while it offers thermal properties that aim to enhance warmth in chilly temperatures.

The product description for the Pointelle top says: “Keep cosy and chic this winter in our pointelle thermal top. With long sleeves, a round neckline, and a classic fit, it’ll provide some welcome warmth beneath jumpers and tops when the temperatures plummet.
