Figure Skating In Style
Posted on - 1st March 2021
While we all know that figure skating is all about getting the perfect form, and gliding delicately across the ice, we also heavily rely on the right attire to allow us to show off our very best moves in style.
Simple In Colour
Sometimes the most effective way to catch the eye of our audience is to keep your skating dress simple, yet bold. Opting for a plain or simple pattern on your dress allows your audience to pay more attention to the fantastic moves that you are making without too much attention going to your attire. Meanwhile, the brighter and bolder the colour, the easier it makes for their eyes to follow as you shoot across the ice.
A Touch Of Elegance
While bold and bright colours are a great eye-catching way to ensure that you have everyone's attention, some ensembles require a touch of class and elegance thrown in. What better way to incorporate this than to add a splash of lace to your dress.
We have combined subtle lace colours with bold bright dresses to combine both attention and elegance. If you are looking for elegance in its entirety, our black lace and velvet ensemble is the perfect choice for you.
Sparkle Time
Some of us just love a touch of sparkle in our lives! So what is better than adding glitter and sparkles to your outfit? Perfect if you are performing in a darker arena with just the spotlights on you, as they catch every shine and enhance your movements.
You might not be looking for sparkles as such, but how about a holographic fabric that glides the light off of you and into the eyes of your audience?
To Sleeve Or Not to Sleeve
When it comes to skating, the preference of the sleeves is entirely that of the wearer. The wonderful thing about our skating dresses is that the material is so stretchy and flexible that if you opt for sleeves they will have no impact on your ability to throw your moves to their full extent. This means that it can be a design choice. All of our above-mentioned styles are offered across both our sleeved and sleeveless options, so its as simple as finding the design that suits you! Personally, we think finding the right colour and level of sparkle means more to us than if something contains sleeves!
