Street Style: Finding Your Inner Leotard Queen
Look, let’s be honest. A leotard is a staple, whether you're a dance enthusiast or just want to channel your inner athletic goddess. Don't limit leotards to just the studio. Here in Sutton in Ashfield, you're seeing them popping up in some pretty amazing ways. My personal favorites:
- The Casual Leotard Look: Forget jeans, a leotard and some cute, comfy leggings is my go-to casual outfit. Pair it with your favourite oversized sweater and some trendy trainers for a comfortable and effortlessly chic look. I love a pop of color on the leotard and an ankle boot too. (Just a little extra!)
- The Edgy Leotard Look: Let’s unleash your inner rocker! A leather jacket, a sleek, dark leotard, and a pair of ripped jeans will instantly elevate your street style. Add a statement belt or some killer ankle boots and you'll be the queen of edgy fashion. My personal twist is to play around with patterns on the leotard! Animal prints? Geometric designs? Absolutely. It adds so much depth and attitude!
- The Festival Leotard Look: Now this is my fave. Festivals are the perfect opportunity to embrace a free-spirited vibe. Wear your brightest leotard and let your personality shine. A little sparkle on the leotard, maybe a glitter headband and you’re festival ready!
Tutus: Not Just for the Stage Anymore
We can't talk leotard fashion without mentioning the legendary tutu! I’m not afraid to say that they’re a staple. While the classical tutu might make you think of classic ballets, Sutton in Ashfield has embraced the tutu for street style too! From tulle skirts with chic jackets to casual denim shorts and an amazing tutu (for that touch of fairytale magic), Sutton is making waves. Think about adding a tutu to your festival wardrobe, or go for a glam tutu dress for a special event. The possibilities are endless!
Get Creative with Leotard Fashion
Remember, style is all about expressing yourself. So ditch the rules and have fun! Play around with different fabrics, textures, and colours. Add a little sparkle, some funky accessories, and let your inner leotard queen shine. This isn’t just a fad; it’s an empowering fashion statement. Who said leotards were just for the studio?
