Primark is selling an £8 version of Holly Willoughby’s £200 jumper

Simply Be and F+F also have affordable rainbow knit dupes that look just like Holly Willoughby’s designer blowout…

Holly Willoughby is our go-to when we need a dose of fashion inspiration. Be it old or new, we always look to her when we’re in need of a shopping fix. Which is why, when we came across this emerging trend, we couldn’t help but think we’d seen it somewhere before.

If you head into your nearest Primark store over the next few days, you’ll likely see this amazing jumper hanging on the rails.

Primark has created a rainbow jumper just like Holly’s for £8, which is in-store now…

The white cropped knit features a super-cute rainbow striped detail, which is currently trending thanks to the Pride celebrations that are sweeping across the UK this June and July. That, and because it’s adorable.
But as soon as we spied it, we had instant déjà vu. And then it occurred to us, it looks just like a knit Holly sported a few months back.

The 37-year-old presenter was filming Dancing On Ice at the time. During rehearsals, Holly took a quick break to snap her outfit of the day – an AMAZING striped jumper complete with matching joggers.

However, to the dismay of her loyal followers, it turned out Holly’s jumper was somewhat spenny – £200 from Madeleine Thompson, a brand which specialises in luxe cashmere.

Now though, we can all get a slice of Holly’s formidable style thanks to Primark, who is currently stocking this knit for a mere £8.

However, if you don’t have a Primark store near you or you just can’t make it to the shops, fret not – for there’s another affordable offering to be had, which you can buy from the comfort of your sofa.

Simply Be has a chunkier style of the jumper too, with the rainbow stripes continuing down the arm. While it was £32, it has recently been reduced to a very reasonable £17.50 in the new season sale. Talk about a bargain!

What’s more, F+F has given us an exclusive heads up that they have their very own rainbow knit as part of their AW18 collection. Currently set to hit shop floors and its website in early August, we wouldn’t be surprised if they pull the release date of their £18 jumper forward…

As far as styling goes, keep it simple: a bright a-line mini skirt and block heels make for a sweet dinner ensemble, while jeans and box-fresh kicks will look the achingly cool part when you’re off the clock.

Whichever style you choose, you won’t have to traipse to the end of a rainbow to find yourself a pot of gold – mainly because you’ve already saved yourself at least £182 compared to Holly’s designer original.
