Leotard Fashion in Derby: #leotardfashion
As a ballet dancer and gymnast, I’m all about functional, stylish activewear. I live and breathe in leotards and find myself drawn to all the amazing trends I spot in the dance and gym worlds, especially here in Derby. As I'm also a keen fashion blogger, my love of leotards has spread to the everyday wear world, too. And let's be honest, when you find the perfect leotard that feels amazing, it’s practically impossible to take it off! So if you’re thinking of joining me in my #leotardfashion journey, read on for some serious outfit inspiration.
Leotards Are Back!
You probably thought leotards were just for the gym or dance studio. But listen up, because leotards are taking the world by storm, from the catwalks of Paris and London to the streets of Derby. Think back to the days of the ‘90s – Madonna, Britney, and a whole host of other pop stars were all over them! Leotards have definitely seen a revival and are becoming more and more mainstream as the perfect bridge between sportswear and high fashion. You know, the type of versatile piece you can dress up or down?
And here's the beauty of it all. There are just so many different styles out there right now to choose from! Think:
* **Bodysuits with cut-outs and stripes, in silky satin or comfy jersey**: perfect for pairing with denim shorts or a maxi skirt for a night out with your pals.
* **Long-sleeved leotards with ballet-inspired details**: team these up with chunky boots for an edgy but classic street-style look.
* **High-necked leotards**: these work amazingly with a sleek pair of skinny jeans and a biker jacket for a casual-chic vibe.
You get the picture, right? A well-chosen leotard is a piece you can take from the dance studio to the streets without even breaking a sweat!
Tutu’s On The Go: #leotardfashion
And let’s talk about tutu's! My heart will always be in the ballet studio. I’ve had to dance with these magical little beauties for almost as long as I can remember, but their popularity isn’t limited to just dancers anymore. We’re seeing more and more tutu inspired clothing trends – think cute tutu skirts for a festival look or full-blown tutu skirts styled up with boots or chunky trainers! If you want to wear your passion for ballet, or have a cheeky sense of humour, this look is one you really should try!
If you are feeling creative at home why not make your own? It is way easier than you might think. A trip to a fabric shop will provide everything you need!
