The items come at the perfect time as shoppers are hunting for that perfect spring outfit.
And they can be worn together or separately, paired with another piece.
The jacket costs €28 and can be found in sizes XS up to XL.
The smart jacket has two front pockets and silver buttons down the front.
Fashion bosses called the item “versatile”.
According to an official description: “Soft faux suede gives this powder blue jacket an elevated feel for day or night.
“The collarless design features two practical chest pockets with snap button closures, while the cropped cut hits perfectly at the waist.
“Match with the coordinating pleated mini skirt and tan boots for a fresh take on smart casual dressing, or pair with white jeans and trainers for weekend brunching.
“The versatile shade works brilliantly with both light and dark colours in your wardrobe.”
And the matching skirt is available for €16, also in a warm powder blue colour.
It is available in sizes 6–20 and features a pleat at the front and shorts at the back.
The retailer said it offers comfort and confidence.
An official description of the item reads: “If you can’t decide between a skirt or shorts, wear both with this powder blue faux suede skort.
“The clever design combines the look of a mini skirt with hidden shorts underneath for extra comfort and confidence.
“Pleats create a flared silhouette that move as you walk (or strut).
“We’ll be pairing with boots and a cropped jacket for a coordinated look.”

THE HISTORY OF PENNEYS
THE Penneys brand grew from humble beginnings on Dublin’s Mary Street, where it opened its first store in 1969.
Known as Primark outside Ireland, the company was the brainchild of Garfield Weston, who hired Dubliner Arthur Ryan to make his vision reality.
Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total.
However, the Penneys name could not travel to Britain as the American retailer JC Penney had the right to use the name in the region.
And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy.
Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The retailer’s opened its largest store in Birmingham in 2019.
It spans five floors and features Primark’s biggest beauty studio to date, a barbers and three restaurants.
