Leotards & Unitards
How to choose leotards & unitards
Sub-type and use
Choose between the One-Pieces sub-type for dance or a Bodysuits & Unitards style for layering under clothing. The first suits the studio, the second works as a top.
Material stretch
Match material to movement. Polyester/elastane and cotton/elastane bend with you, while iron and denim/iron hold a fixed shape.
Colour axis
Pick your colour with care. Black and white appear often, but pink, green, or beige may fit a look that is harder to pair later.
Added layers
Decide if you need Clothing & Accessories or just the base Clothing garment. More pieces mean more items to wash and store.

What's good
- Stretch blends like polyester/elastane give a close, flexible fit in One-Pieces and Bodysuits & Unitards, ideal for active wear.
- Structured materials such as iron or denim/iron hold a bold silhouette in fashion led Bodysuits & Unitards, unlike soft fabric.
- The broad colour axis (black, white, red, green, pink, beige and more) lets you match a leotard to a specific outfit or stage theme.
- Clothing & Accessories sub-types let you build a set around a leotard base, rather than buying a single fixed garment.
- The Clothing sub-type covers plain shapes if you want no added layers.
Things to watch
- Iron or denim/iron pieces look striking but they sit heavier and breathe less than cotton or viscose options.
- Gold material bodysuits need careful storage, as the surface can mark or tarnish against rougher nylon/polyester fabric.
- One-Pieces made from plain polyester or fabric without elastane may ride up during movement, unlike stretch mixes.
- Sheer viscose and nylon/polyester items show sweat and marks faster than thicker cotton or denim/iron pieces.
- Check the listings to filter out materials that fail your activity needs.
Care & maintenance
Wash structure
Hand wash iron or gold material bodysuits alone to stop colour or finish transfer onto lighter cotton pieces.
Dry stretch
Dry polyester/elastane leotards flat, because direct heat can snap the elastane and loosen the fit.
Store shape
Store denim/iron unitards on a wide hanger so the shoulder seams keep their shape.
Prep wash
Fasten Bodysuits & Unitards before washing to prevent the iron hardware catching on nylon/polyester fabric.
