Leotard Fashion in Wishaw: The Latest Trends and Styles
Hey guys! So, you know how I’m a massive fan of leotards, right? Well, I’m always on the lookout for the latest styles and trends in leotard fashion, especially in my hometown of Wishaw.
I've been noticing a real surge in interest around leotards in Wishaw and across the UK. They are no longer just for dancers and gymnasts, and that's a trend I'm totally here for! I mean, let's be honest, who doesn't love a little bit of stretch and comfort? Plus, they are super flattering and can be styled up in so many ways!
Where to Find Your Perfect Leotard
First things first, you're gonna need to know where to get your leotard fix, right? And don’t think for a second that you're limited to those basic black ones from your dance classes! Here are my top spots in Wishaw:
- The Dance Shop on Main Street is a great place to start. They stock a wide variety of leotards in all shapes, sizes, and colours. I’ve found some super cute designs here and they’ve got that little something extra for you dancers who want to make a statement on the dance floor!
- Next in the Wishaw Shopping Centre has some amazing basic leotards that can be styled up with cute cardies or jumpers, for a chic off-duty look. Bonus points, it's super affordable!
- M&S have recently launched a pretty decent selection of leotards for ladies of all shapes and sizes. Check their website as they’re doing click and collect as well. I've snagged a few bargain buys there!
Leotard Styling: My Go-To Looks
Let’s talk styling, which is the best part, really. Leotards are so versatile; they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Here are a few of my favourite leotard outfits.
- For the studio: Nothing beats the classic combo of a black leotard and a pair of fitted black leggings, paired with dance shoes, of course! You can throw on a zip-up hoodie for extra warmth during those cool-down stretches. I’m a big fan of leotards with colour blocking and unique cuts - think strappy backs and cute mesh details - that still look sophisticated when you're dancing.
- For an edgy, street-style look: Team a black leotard with some ripped jeans or a pair of boyfriend jeans and chunky trainers. Add a biker jacket or a denim jacket to finish it off, and you're good to go!
- For a more dressed-up occasion: Leotards are totally a trend for nights out too. Pair a vibrant coloured leotard with a sleek maxi skirt, or throw a sequin-covered one under a dress for that extra shimmer. A little black dress or an oversized blazer is also a great match. A good pair of heels and you’re good to go!
Beyond the Leotard
Speaking of style, how about some fun #leotardfashion alternatives? Tutus have recently had a major comeback - yes, those fluffy fairytale skirts that used to be exclusively for dancers. Check out the tutu range online for a new spin on classic silhouettes and styling tips, which can go from ballet class chic to runway ready! A mini tutu looks cute over skinny jeans and a tee for that effortlessly trendy look, and I can't even begin to rave about how incredible they look under dresses. So versatile!
Leotards are a wardrobe must-have and I think everyone should own one. Whether you're a dancer, a gym bunny, or just looking for a comfy and stylish piece of clothing, I guarantee that leotards will be your new go-to!
