Primark! Even though when I go in there it always looks like a bombs gone off with clothes on the floor absolutely everywhere! You can check on the Matalan website to see what kind of stuff they have in which is a pro though.
Primark. Personally I think Matalan stuff looks really cheap.

Primark is more fashionable.... Matalan is more for the older market :biggrin:

Matalan do nice jeans and underwear, but Primark is much better for things like shoes, accessories and basic tops etc.

definitely primark- matalan is good for basics, but that also makes their stuff kinda boring

I think I might have got those boots too! Did they have pointy toes with a stilletto-type heel? I personally prefer Primark to Matalan, but I think that's only really cos Primark is nearer me so I go there more often.

Primark for accessories - shoes/ jewellery/bags as well as high fashion clothing.
Matalan for basic tops/ jumpers.

I wouldnt buy jeans from either as they dont do them long enough for me :smile:
I used to work in Matalan and they had some good underwear and some nice tops but it generally is for the 'older market' as someone mentioned and I prefer primark! I got a beautiful black and white dress thing to wear over denims/leggings for 8 quid! Amazing! x
Primark, I would buy school shirts from Matalan....
