We’ve got the low down on everything from what styles to consider when you’re on the lookout for a new leotard to the different types available - so many options, so little time! We’ll even touch upon what goes into creating a successful tutu-themed ensemble. The main aim here is to keep your #leotardfashion on point while making sure it matches your personal aesthetic. After all, a leotard should make you feel like a star and have you wanting to spin in front of the mirror, every time! Finding The Perfect Leotard in Edgware Okay, let’s cut to the chase. As we know, Edgware's dance and fitness scene is alive and kicking with so many opportunities to perfect your leotard game. Finding your perfect leotard at an independent boutique is such a fun experience and these boutiques usually have their finger on the pulse when it comes to dance wear. My tip would be to check out ‘The Dance Shop’ - they have everything from basic leotards with fun detailing like bows and mesh inserts to stunningly bright designs for the extra confident ballerinas among us. Their staff are incredibly knowledgeable and so friendly - a real blessing when trying on leotards! There's also an amazing little store called ‘Fit For Dance’, who stock really cool contemporary leotards. But you have to be quick to grab a design you like - sometimes, there’s just one of each piece! Let’s Talk About Styles - You Heard It Here First, Folks Firstly, a standard ballet leotard is typically made of stretchy fabric and can either be fitted or loose-fitting. And let’s not forget the colour - from timeless black and pink to pops of blue and orange! A common choice for serious dancers (that’s me), would be the iconic **Capezio “Juliet” leotard**, in a striking colour like fuchsia or red. It just has that old school, sleek ballerina appeal and is perfect for showcasing the delicate and precise lines of ballet technique. Then, there’s the **‘V-back’ leotard** which gives a super flattering, athletic look and can work in different fabrics like mesh or cotton, depending on your dance discipline. There are endless varieties to suit your taste, including those with long or short sleeves and all kinds of design features like straps, racer backs, keyhole cutouts, mesh panels or open backs! For Those Looking To Amplify The Glam: A Tutu Story Speaking of glamour - if you’re looking for a statement, you really can't go wrong with a **tutu** to elevate your outfit to a whole new level! Now, we've got three major tutu categories here. You’ve got your classical tutu, which is **full, flowing, and creates that iconic ballerina silhouette**, with layers of tulle creating a cloud-like shape. But, it is worth mentioning that this isn't for the faint-hearted or for those not wanting to make a grand entrance. Next up is the **romantic tutu, often paired with a sleeveless, slightly longer leotard** to create an ethereal, whimsical effect, and its fluffy layers really help you embrace the drama of a delicate and dreamy ballerina. You also have the contemporary **tutu**, which has a more **modern look with geometric patterns or different tulle lengths, and works fabulously when combined with sleek leotards**. They’re basically the “it girls” of the tutu world. But one thing remains true - every single one has the potential to **turn any dance practice into an impromptu stage performance**. Tips For Adding That Personal Touch Here's the fun part - **personalising your leotard with your own flair**. There are lots of cool ways to make your outfit truly your own and stand out. You could opt for bright, bold colors and bold designs to get people's attention. Or, add a little drama to your leotard game by layering it with accessories like leggings or tights. This can create amazing effects in terms of style. We love wearing our **tights and leggings in different colour combinations**, like pairing a black leotard with dark grey leggings. And, for a pop of personality, **add some sparkling embellishments**. It's incredible what just a little glitter can do - we often put our leotard on, accessorize and admire the new masterpiece! Don’t forget the beauty of dance footwear. We think a pair of **pointed ballet shoes with a matching leotard** is truly exquisite, a true #leotardstyle masterpiece.
