Hey gorgeous peeps! It’s your girl, [Your name] - the ballet dancer, gymnast, and wannabe style icon who can't get enough of leotards! I'm here to give you the lowdown on what's hot and what's not in the world of leotard fashion, right here in good ol' Morden. Let's get this #leotardstyle party started!
So, I've been getting a lot of questions lately about the best places to find killer leotards around Morden, and let me tell you, it's a bit of a sartorial scavenger hunt! But, fear not, my stylish sisters, 'cause your girl has been on the case.
Here’s my definitive guide to finding the perfect leotard in Morden and beyond. Let's dive in!
Morden’s Best Leotard Stops- The Dance Boutique (Morden High Street): First up, we have the absolute go-to spot for any dancer. This place is a leotard paradise. They've got a huge range of brands - from classic Capezio to chic Bloch. They've got every style imaginable, from sporty to sophisticated.
- Stage Right (online and Morden Town Centre): Now, if you're looking for more budget-friendly options, Stage Right is a winner! They have fantastic basic leotards and a surprising amount of funky styles too. Definitely check out their online store for an even wider selection.
- Next (Morden Town Centre): Okay, so this might sound weird for leotard shopping, but hear me out. Next surprisingly has a solid collection of dancewear in their ‘active’ department. Think stretchy fabric and flattering colours – perfect for gym class and beyond.
- Smyths Toys (Morden Town Centre): Now this might seem a bit off-the-wall but Smyth’s has an actual gymwear section that surprisingly has some cool leotards and dance-inspired tops that you can wear out and about.
- The Gym Room ( online, Wimbledon and Battersea): For the most hardcore gymnastic or dancer, head online or go a bit further to their Wimbledon store for high-performance leotards designed to make you look good AND smash those goals!
- eBay and Depop ( online): When I'm looking for a real bargain, vintage leotard or a specific brand that doesn't ship to the UK I usually go on eBay or Depop. If you have time for a good hunt you might find a leotard that will give your whole wardrobe a total vibe.
- Thrifting & Charity Shops: For true style hunters, hit up the charity shops in Morden and check out the ‘sports’ section. You might just find a hidden gem of a leotard waiting to be discovered. And it'll be a sustainable fashion find!
Leotard Styles For Every Occasion
- The Classic: I'm talking about the sleek, simple leotard. Think black, navy, or even a pop of colour like red. It's a total blank canvas that you can accessorize to the max with tights, jewelry, or a chic cardigan.
- The Back Detail: Who says a leotard needs to be plain? The back detail leotard adds a bit of wow factor without going overboard. You can find all sorts of designs, from mesh panels to interesting cutouts.
- The Girly Leotard: Now, this style is not for the faint of heart, It's for the princess in all of us, featuring ruffles, lace, sequins or pretty ballet-inspired colours and textures!
- The Sporty Leotard: Think mesh, breathable fabrics and maybe a zip detail. The sporty leotard is perfect for a hot yoga session, for a dance class or even for a day in the park.
Leotard Essentials
- Tights: You simply can't wear a leotard without tights. The options are endless: sheer, opaque, colourful, printed – you name it, they’ve got it.
- Shoes: Ballet slippers for class? Definitely. But a cool pair of trainers can add a little edge. And don't forget about your socks - a simple sock or even a statement pair with your leotard can totally rock!
- Cardigans: Okay, let's face it. Those dance studios can be chilly. Throw on a cardigan or bomber jacket – they look amazing over your leotard and will add a chic touch to your look.
- Jewelry: Okay, here’s where you get to get super creative. Try layers of dainty chains, or even statement earrings to complete the look. Accessorizing your leotard is super fun and a chance to personalize your style.
- Bags: To complete the dance vibe, a cute tote bag, a gym backpack or even a mini bum bag adds a bit of cool-girl swagger. Think canvas bags, bold colours and bright graphics, or find a classic gym bag that’s as cute as it is functional.
A Word On Tutus:
Okay, we gotta chat about tutus for a moment. I mean, how can we talk about dance-inspired leotard style without giving tutus a shout-out! It's not all tutus are made for dancing. Let me explain:
- Classy: Look for tulle tutus with a soft, floaty design in delicate colours. Think classic black or soft pink – the shorter ones can add a vintage, almost ballerina feel to a outfit.
- Edgy: For the rebel at heart, get a short, puffy tutu in bold colours and use it as a skirt! It's a perfect statement piece over black trousers, or a fun contrast over denim shorts!
My #leotardstyle Tips:
- Don't be afraid to mix and match: You can create really unique looks by mixing and matching different textures, colors, and styles!
- Accessorize! As I mentioned above, you can elevate your look in so many ways with statement accessories – think belts, jewelry, headbands or colourful hair ties.
- Be confident! The most important style tip? Be confident. Strut your stuff in your leotard, rock that #leotardfashion!
- Shop for your body type! Everyone has different proportions – make sure your leotard fits and flatters your body. Try lots of different cuts and fabrics. And don’t be afraid to tailor your leotards, either!
Okay, so there you have it! My guide to rocking the leotard game. Go out there, unleash your inner dancer and look stylish doing it, Morden!
