Leotard Style: Highbury is Getting a Grip on Fashion!
Hi everyone! It's your girl, Flora, back with another blog post, and this time, weāre talking all things leotard! Forget those boring, black leotards you remember from your school ballet days. I'm talking about leotards that are bursting with style, personality, and a touch of... dare I say, glamour? It's no surprise, Highbury, is leading the charge on the latest fashion trends in the leotard world.
The first sign of this trend is all over Highbury. Itās the rise of leotards that move beyond the traditional. Forget boring black. Instead, we see a vibrant array of colours! And textures. This week alone, I spotted some fabulous leopard print leotards, a lime green one with a daring cut out at the back, and a lavender number that is the very epitome of spring elegance. You don't even need a tutu for an outfit.
That's right, tu-tu style is experiencing a revival too. Forget those full tulle ballerina skirts of old, they are way too costumey, think chic and understated. These skirts can easily transition from your training room to a brunch date or even a fancy evening event. A classic combination is to pair a sleek, fitted black leotard with a delicate white tulle skirt that flows beautifully when you walk. This will immediately make you feel and look both elegant and effortless. Add some jewelry or a fabulous blazer and you have an on trend, confident ensemble.
But the trends aren't stopping there! Highbury is seeing leotards used for a whole host of purposes. They can be easily dressed up or down for whatever event or occasion you might have planned! Forget what people might say - leotards have definitely entered the mainstream.
Here are just a few examples:
- Out for dinner? Pair a silky, luxurious leotard in a vibrant colour with a sleek skirt and some fabulous high heels. Finish the look with a trendy scarf and you're all set for a stylish night out.
- Feeling sporty? Opt for a breathable, functional leotard in a fun colour and throw on a pair of stylish sports trainers for the gym.
- Want to embrace the weekend in casual comfort? Grab a loose, cotton leotard in a neutral colour. Pair it with your favourite jeans or joggers and a comfortable hoodie.
- And for all the vintage fashion fans out there! Look for some iconic, retro styles at a good vintage shop or market. Pair one with a trendy pair of trousers and a cropped jacket. Perfect for channeling those stylish 80ās vibes.
You've got to hand it to Highbury; it knows what itās doing when it comes to leotard style.
Let's keep up this amazing trend! Remember: leotards are here to stay, and they are versatile! So whether you are a professional dancer, an aspiring gymnast, or a fashion enthusiast like me, there is a perfect leotard waiting for you, ready to be your ultimate style companion.
