Scarborough: A Leotard Love Affair
Hey babes,
Let's talk about the hottest fashion trend that's sweeping the nation... **Leotards!**
It's true, we all know that the leotard is a timeless classic for dancers, gymnasts and all kinds of athletic women. But recently, the leotard has taken over the streets. We're seeing them everywhere from runways to festival fields.
I'm based in Scarborough, a town in North Yorkshire that's a mecca for everything glamorous and iconic. Here, you can spot all sorts of fun and chic fashion looks.
So, what makes the leotard so amazing? Here are some reasons why you need to get in on this fabulous trend:
* **Leotards are flattering and versatile**. A well-fitted leotard can accentuate your best features while giving you a stylish look for literally any occasion. You can dress them up or down.
* **You can customize the leotard.** You can even find leotards in a wide array of colors, patterns and styles to express your individual taste. Just experiment with a variety of fabric textures from velvet to lace, sequins or a cotton or spandex blend, and experiment with the colours too! From sleek black or navy to vibrant neon, there’s a perfect leotard for every outfit!
So, if you are a total leotard enthusiast like me, then head over to your nearest high-street store and pick one up or buy one online! There are all kinds of options available for a variety of prices.
**Scarborough Leotard Styles**
Of course, since Scarborough is on the coast, it’s also where you can find some super cute beach wear. But did you know you can find the cutest beachwear *in* the leotard styles themselves. You can take it straight from the dance studio to the seaside for the ultimate *effortless chic* vibe! It's a big *yes* from me.
Think about what your leotard can transform into - let’s get more experimental with the styling here. What if you added a flowing scarf around your shoulders over your leotard for a beach day in Scarborough? Imagine you with a flowing skirt for a more relaxed look. Pair it with your favourite white trainers or boots for a fun twist. The leotard becomes a blank canvas for all kinds of style trends.
For a bolder look that takes its inspiration from a leotard, you could even experiment with a little black dress. There is a very strong similarity between the sleek elegance of a long and lean, bodycon little black dress and a black leotard. Imagine pairing that little black dress with some dramatic silver jewellery - how fabulous!
If you are trying to really go for a super high-fashion vibe, then imagine how chic a sleek jumpsuit looks like a *next level* leotard. You can even make a statement with the way you wear it - experiment with layering it on top of other outfits for an on-trend layered look or simply wear it as your entire outfit.
**Scarborough Leotard Inspiration:**
We are totally into embracing **tutu fashion**. From full and voluminous tutus to minimalist tulle skirts and midi tutus, we’re embracing the dreamy tutu vibe. We are seeing them on runways, on the red carpets, at the seaside and everywhere in between. You can style tutus to take them from day to night with ease - the key to doing so is experimenting with footwear! Try out boots or platforms for a glamorous, chic evening look or, on a bright, sunny day, dress your tutu with white trainers for a fun, summery, festival outfit.
My favourite leotard looks
For Scarborough’s sunny beach walks I have styled some simple black or white cotton leotards paired with loose trousers, or linen shorts. That relaxed beach look will always work! If you are feeling bolder and want to try a more colourful leotard - why not add some denim, for a high street classic, or for something trendier try out an oversized shirt or blazer for a totally contemporary vibe? The styling opportunities really are endless with a leotard!
Don't forget the power of **accessories**! Think jewellery, scarves, belts and hair accessories! Leotards and tutus lend themselves really well to dramatic accessorising. Remember it's about trying things and seeing what works for you. Let’s embrace the leotard trend - the more, the merrier!
**My go-to online store for all things leotard and tutu:**
