subject: Womens Leotards: They're More Versatile Than You Think [print this page] Womens leotards get a bad rapWomens leotards get a bad rap. Often times they're put in the same category as leg warmers--written off a piece of 80s nostalgia that is thought to be fit only for aerobics classes and costume parties. But that is simply not a fair category for the incredibly cool, and underrated piece of attire that is womens leotards. Here are five different ways you can wear womens leotards. If these compelling style tips don't change your mind about them, nothing will!1) The jeans and T-shirt substitute. Jeans and a comfy T-shirt are a default outfit choice by many. So why not kick it up a notch and swap out that pain old T-shirt for a form fitting womens leotard. Dress it up by tying a pretty scarf around your neck, slip on some boots, and your comfortably plain outfit is transformed into a comfortably stylish one.2) The pencil skirt's best friend. Pencil skirts are a wardrobe staple in and of themselves, thanks to their ability to enhance a woman's silhouette. So do the same favor for the top half of your body and don a womens leotard. The form fitting, slenderizing aspect of the leotard is a perfect match for the figure-enhancing ability of the pencil skirt.3) The yoga class mainstay. Doing yoga is all about loosening up, breathing, and relaxing your body. But often times, that's hard to do if you're constantly fidgeting with your t-shirt or camisole. When you're wearing a womens leotard, you don't have to worry about your t-shirt creeping up during your sun salutations. Womens leotards stay put and are often moisture wicking--perfect for a physical activity like yoga.4) The classic slacks' unlikely counterpart. When a cap sleeved womens leotard is paired with a pair of pressed slacks, good things happen. Slip on some polished oxfords, and maybe even a pair of thin suspenders for the more fashionably adventurous. The menswear aesthetic of the slacks and oxfords, juxtaposed with the feminine, form-fitting women's leotard is a winning combination.5) The shorts and sandals partner in crime. It's a warm summer day and you're looking for a comfortable look that doesn't give the impression you just rolled out of bed. On the other hand, you don't want to spend an hour getting something together. Well that's where womens leotards and shorts come into play. Whether it's a crisp pair of white linen shorts, or cut off jean shorts, womens leotards are complimentary. For shoes, a pair of gladiator sandals can set it all off. All in all, womens leotards have the potential to really dress up any style outfit, without much work. They come in a wide array of colors, cuts and styles, but to get maximum versatility, a black, cap sleeve leotard takes the cake. If you're looking for something a little more dramatic, opt for a low-back leotard. There are as many different womens leotard styles as there are different kinds of women, so you're options are limitless!
