Polka dots aren’t just back (although... did they ever really leave us?) they’re one of spring’s biggest trending prints – and Primark has tapped into the trend with an £18 gym set that feels equal parts flattering and wearable.
Made up of a matching sports bra and high-waisted yoga shorts, the monochrome set keeps things classic while still making an impact and not feeling boring. And yep, the shorts and bra cost but £9 a pop!
The polka dot print does the heavy lifting, giving it an on-trend edge without feeling overdone and crucially, it’s easy to style beyond the gym.
Shop the polka dot yoga shorts:
The shorts are the standout. Cut with a high-rise waistband and a built-in tummy control panel, they’re designed to smooth and support without digging in. The fit is close and sculpting, with enough stretch to move comfortably through workouts, whether that’s yoga, Pilates or something higher impact. It’s the kind of design that works with your shape rather than against it, offering coverage and confidence in equal measure.
We’d also happily rep the shorts with a baggy oversized tee for a matcha run in the sun!
Shop the polka dot sports bra:
The matching sports bra completes the set, creating a pulled-together athleisure look that’s become a staple well beyond workout spaces. Worn together, it feels intentional and styled, not just something you’ve thrown on for a quick class.
Trend-led, affordable and genuinely flattering, it’s a reminder that good gym wear doesn’t have to stay in the gym... and for under £20, who could say no?
