Leotard Style: Upminster's Leading Fashion Trend
Hey all you fab fashionistas! It's your girl, Clara here, back with another post, but this time we're ditching the dusty pointe shoes and hitting the streets - well, maybe just Upminster's High Street. Let's be honest, for us gymnasts and ballerinas, leotards aren't just our uniform, they're our statement. We’re like superheroes in skin-tight Spandex. This season, leotards are having a major moment beyond the dance studio, and Upminster's catching on. So buckle up, darling, because you’re about to dive headfirst into a world where fashion and flexibility collide.
Now, we’ve all seen the classic leotard: the black, the pink, the tried and true. But this year, things are getting more... adventurous! Designers are taking cues from us dance devotees, but with a sassy street-wear spin.
Let’s Talk Colour and Pattern- Gone are the days of plain black! Think jewel tones, metallics, neon accents and bold prints. I recently spotted a beautiful teal leotard with floral embroidery at a shop on Upminster's High Street - perfect for channeling your inner dancer!
- Animal prints are totally in, darling. A leopard print leotard is like a sartorial roar - daring, fierce, and just a little bit dangerous. A panther print might just be the statement piece you need. Just add a bold red lip and you’re good to go!
- And for you real fashion forward trendsetters, you'll see plenty of abstract and geometric prints on leotards. Just picture this - a black and white leotard with edgy geometric shapes - like modern art in action. Pair it with high-waisted mom jeans and you'll be the epitome of cool-girl chic.
Cut and Style
- You've got the traditional ballet leotard, slender and simple. It's a timeless silhouette that's never out of style. You'll see the ballerina leotard getting a modern edge, too. Think cut-out details, mesh panels and bold back detailing, offering both comfort and sass.
- Then there’s the leotard-meets-jumpsuit, with full-length legs for that sleek look. It’s a winner because it's effortlessly versatile - wear it for brunch, dancing the night away, or running errands.
- The racer-back leotard is an absolute godsend - not just for workouts, but for a look that's simultaneously sporty and feminine.
It’s Not All About the Leotard: Don’t Forget the Tutu!
Okay, I know you’re probably picturing that big, fluffy pink tutu you wore for your ballet recital, but hear me out. Tutu styles have come a long way! Now we're seeing modern and contemporary tutu designs with an emphasis on form and fashion.
- There are mini-tutus, perfect for creating a statement, but on a smaller scale.
- Some of my favorites include tulle skirts in black or deep navy, which feel incredibly elegant and glamorous. It's a look that works whether you're at a fancy cocktail party or rocking a more casual style.
- And believe it or not, even the classic, full-blown tutu is back with a bang! But now, instead of solely seeing the soft pinks and whites, you'll find them in shades like burgundy, teal, and a whole spectrum of colours!

It’s simple. Upminster's a town that's embracing all the bold, playful, and innovative fashion trends.
- Wear your leotard as a statement piece - try it with a leather jacket and your favourite sneakers for a rock chick vibe. A sleek leotard with a pair of oversized jeans and stylish boots? That’s fashionista perfection.
- Layer a long-sleeved shirt over a leotard for extra warmth and style. It gives you a classic, elegant look, plus it can also take a leotard from daytime to nighttime in a snap.
- Pair your leotard with chunky heels for a night out. Add a pair of edgy statement earrings and you’ve got the perfect evening look - confident, sassy, and ready to dance the night away!
