Shoppers love Primark’s new colourful gymwear, including a sports jacket that’s drawn comparisons to a high-end brand
Primark’s new gymwear has stunned shoppers who love the colourful styles. While fans of the fashion giant will know the retailer has long been popular for its gymwear, Primark has just updated its range to introduce new options.
The new items were showcased in a viral TikTok video shared by @prmrktraffordpalazzo. Captioning the post, which has been viewed more than 700,000 times, the store said: “New colours available.”
The video included various products, including sports jackets, T-shirts, and shorts, with lots of stylish colours up for grabs. For instance, the retailer has introduced a teal sports jacket, alongside its black and brown options. In the video, there were also lots of tennis skirts, shorts, and matching gym sets.
While several items won praise from commenters, many viewers focused on the sports jackets, praising the flattering look. An excited shopper responded: “Need that zip up.” Another wrote: “I GOT THAT TEAL JACKET FROM THERE! BUY IT, IT MAKES YOU SNATCHED.”
A third wanted to show a friend “the sage jacket.” Someone commented: “Zip ups look so good for riding.” A different fan added: “Equestrians just screamed Harlow X Lemeuix in the first 3 colours”
Meanwhile, another viewer thought: “The jackets are giving lululemon.” This comment is likely in reference to the high-end athletic apparel retailer, known for its stylish jackets and gymwear.
The Primark jackets featured in the TikTok video look similar to lululemon’s Define Cropped Jacket Nulu, priced from £89. While the video doesn’t confirm the price of the featured jackets, the majority of Primark’s sports jackets are under £50, meaning Primark shoppers could enjoy an impressive saving.
Primark shoppers might need to check their local store if they’re searching for a particular product from the viral video. Some items like the teal jacket do not appear to be available on the website.
However, Primark’s website enables shoppers to click and collect a range of sportswear items. For instance, there’s a £12 Seamless Zip-Up Sport Jacket, a £16 Butter Performance Jacket, an £18 Lightweight Running Jacket, an £18 Cropped Running Jacket, a £26 Kappa x Primark Hooded Jacket, and a £40 Hooded Sports Jacket.
The product description for the £12 Seamless Zip-Up Sport Jacket says: “The full-length zip makes it easy to layer up or down as you exercise, and the stretchy fabric lets you reach, bend and stretch without restriction. Meanwhile, the high neckline adds extra coverage when you need it most. Pair with your go-to workout shorts or leggings, and you’re all set for whatever activity is on your agenda.”
Meanwhile, the £40 Hooded Sports Jacket offers extra warmth for colder days. The product description states: “Designed to keep you comfortable during outdoor adventures, it features lined cuffs with thumbholes for extra warmth and secure coverage.
“With a full zip front, adjustable hood, and zip pockets for your essentials, this jacket is as functional as it is fashionable. Pair it with your go-to leggings or joggers and trainers for an effortlessly sporty look. Perfect for breezy morning runs or layering up on casual days.”
