Primark responds after fans fume at jeans that 'trigger body issues'

Primark fans have been left fuming at Primark's jeans sizing, with many say they 'trigger' their 'body issues'.

The retailer hared an image of a pair of skinny jeans, but followers reacted with fury at the brand's jeans sizing as a whole.

In response, the clothing giant said that the fit of its clothing is important and measurements are in line with Size UK Data.

"Primark sizing for jeans is shocking!" said one. "It's a shame cos they have so many on-trend styles."

Another said: "Have given up on [your] jeans because the sizing is insane! Sort it out! Talk about triggering body issues. Just fix it."

A third commentator said: "I am a size 12 at most in most shops but I got a pair of your high waisted jeans in a 14 and they still struggle to fit! Your sizing is awful and really is a trigger. It’s not just the jeans though, I hate to say it but even your kids clothes are small!"

Another said: "Literally had to buy two sizes up from my normal size!" A final follower said: "Reading the comments on sizing being off is a bit of a relief… good to know it’s not just me."

Responding to the concerns, a Primark spokesperson told Bristol Live: "We welcome customer feedback and always encourage customers to get in touch with us if they have any concerns.

"The fit of our clothing is important to us and our measurements are in line with Size UK Data.

"We are also proud to offer a diverse range of sizing for our customers, with our Reprieve Our Ocean Jeans available from UK 4 to UK 20, while other denim collections are available up to UK 22."

In other news about the bargain retailer, one Primark shopper has discovered what she says is a £2.50 hay fever 'hack'. The chain has also revealed yet another collaboration - this time with the Flintstones.
