If your spring wardrobe is crying out for something cute and comfy to exercise in (or hey, just walk around the park sipping an iced matcha in, no judgement here), allow us to introduce Primark’s new £20 gingham gym set – aka the co-ord that’s about to do double duty in your calendar.
Made up of a high-waisted pair of gingham active capri leggings and a super chic twist-front crop top, the matching set comes in baby pink – one of spring’s biggest colour trends – and it’s every bit as flattering as it is affordable.
But let’s start with the capris (£11)! Cropped leggings are firmly back on the agenda for 2026, and this high-waisted pair taps straight into that retro-sporty vibe we’re seeing everywhere right now.

The gingham print keeps things playful, while the sculpting fit makes them ideal for everything from reformer Pilates to a long, lazy brunch.
The matching twist-front crop top (£9) is equally versatile. With its supportive fit and cute front detail, it feels polished enough to style up with an oversized shirt and chunky trainers, but it’ll also hold its own in a sweaty spin class.

While the baby pink version is pure soft spring energy – perfect if you’re leaning into pastels right now – if you prefer something more understated, the set also comes in a classic navy, which feels timeless but still gives that trending co-ord look.
