Is H&M Becoming The New Primark?

Don't get me wrong- I will always love Primark, in fact in the not so distant future I will be creating a makeup look just using Primark beauty products (eek!). However, I don't know whether it's just me being a cheap skate but I am finding Primark clothes rather pricey nowadays. You can still pick up the 'basics' for next to nothing but some of the dressier items are on the higher end of the price scale. Now, H&M on the other hand seemed to have some pretty reasonably priced items, in fact just the other week I picked up a rather stylish denim dress for £15! So I thought I'd go through both of their websites (yes, Primark has a website now) and do some investigating for my lovely readers!

Primark - £6

Primark- £8

H&M- £8.99

H&M- £12.99

Primark- £10       

     H&M- £24.99                      

So, realistically, Primark is the cheaper brand out of the two although H&M is not far behind. However, if you're wanting a cheapish swimsuit for your holiday you would be better off going to Primark. Also I found that certain jean/denim items were quite a lot dearer from H&M too. However, I can't tell the difference in material or the quality of the item so I can't judge on which is the better quality for the price! At the end of the day, I will always remember being able to go into Primark with £20 and coming out with multiple outfits, where as now that seems like a distant memory. Primark is famous for being one of the cheapest clothes shops on the high street but maybe the quality of their clothes has risen, hence the price rise too, I'm not too sure! Let me know what you think in the comments! 

Thank you for reading!
