Greggs Clothing in primark.

Just why?!!

I think some people are taking it as a serious statement of affiliation. You can hear the whooooshhh as it passes overhead. It’s satire. A wry poke at our culture.

The latter obviously.

You're wearing the Gregg's crocs right now, aren't you?

DS16 has one of the T-shirts. He wears it a lot, I think it’s funny, DH is a bit nonplussed by it.

Ha ha…no. But going by a few of the replies I kind of wish I was.

I wouldn’t part with cash for this but it did raise a smile from me when I saw the range. It’s very wasteful of course. A flash in the pan.

I recently bought a t-shirt with Mark E Smith from The Fall cuddling a litter of kittens on the front. I snorted when I saw it. Had to have.

My 12 year old has just bought loads of it lol. Told them there's no way they're wearing it all together they need to tone it down a bit

It’s ironic - there’s a trend for low brow branding on clothes. Like these Lidl socks.

They've been there for months.

They're ironic and worn to festivals etc

Actually think it's funny and brought the hat. Can't wait for Lidl to do their trainers again. Keep missing out on that

My adult DD, who has learning difficulties, FaceTimed me the other day.

She’d never eaten anything from Greggs before she left home and went into supported living. Now I know how she’s put on 4 stone in two years 😕.

Sorry- the point was that she was wearing the shorts 🤦‍♀️.

This is being reported on social media.........

My DD is 12 and all her friends love it and think it’s hilarious. She’s making me take her on a trip to the big Primark on Friday to get some of it.

Basically just falling for the "trend' just like any teenagers/young folk It's not ironic, it's been carefully marketed.

If you don’t get it you’re clearly not cool enough to wear it 😉

It's kind of camp. Like ugly and ironic which makes it kind of cool

We have Primark here in France, but not Greggs (sadly!) so might have to consider a trip to the UK :-)

Ds age 10 bought the sliders yesterday. His 3 teenage sisters are mortified at his choices

Thank you OP for giving me yet another reason never to go to Primark.

@pictish were you in The Fall?

My teenager and his friends all love it, it's like it's so crap it's cool.

Both my DS love it! Why not? Just some fun and Gregg's does have cult value I think.

Yeah DH has the crocs

He also has the Gregg's socks and Christmas jumper from a few years ago.
