How Comfortable Are Olympique Leotards?

Posted on - 19th February 2021

Here at Olympique, we understand the importance of comfort when it comes to our leotards. After all, our ethos here is ‘perfection in performance’. Therefore, when putting our range together, we have held comfort at the forefront of our minds throughout the whole process. From selecting the materials to creating the designs, our range has been designed specifically to promote confidence with comfort. In today’s blog, we’ll be exploring how we do this.

Highest Quality Materials

In order to provide the ultimate comfort in our leotards, our experienced designers only select and use the highest quality materials and fabrics. In addition, due to the movement expected in gymnastics routines, our team only selects those with the best stretch credentials. As a result of this, our range now boasts designs made from super shiny lycra, gorgeous Italian crushed and smooth velvets and printed metallic and hologram lycra just to name a few.

Our team of designers are devoted to supercharging your performance and they don’t expect you to settle for anything less than perfection. If you bring the routine, attitude and confidence, then we’ll match it with comfort, style and glamour.

Short or Long Sleeved?

One of the most important style choices to make when selecting your leotard is whether to opt for a sleeveless or long sleeved option. As discussed in our ‘Why Wear Long Sleeved Gymnastics Leotards?’ guide, there are benefits to both. However, it’s important to recognise that it's about much more than style. Your decision may be dictated by a number of reasons. For example, are you buying a leotard for training or a competition? It’s a general rule of thumb within gymnastics that competitions expect participants to perform in a long sleeved leotard. However, more recently, more and more competitions have started to accept other variations.

Naturally, because there is more material to play with on a long sleeved leotard, there are more options when it comes to style. However, this can often mean a higher cost than a sleeveless option. Another factor may be where you train. If your training centre is cold or you spend a lot of time travelling, you may opt for a long sleeved leotard. However, if the opposite is true and your training gym is quite stuffy, you may benefit from having a sleeveless option.

Feel Confident in Your Design

 When it comes to feeling comfortable in your new leotard, it's important that you don’t dismiss how much confidence comes from feeling good in your chosen style. If you don’t feel comfortable in the design, you’re not going to exude the confidence needed to deliver a perfect performance. Here at Olympique, our in-house design team understands this and as a result, they have made sure to create a range that caters for every taste. Whether you’re looking for something bold and striking or something sparkly and pretty, you’re bound to find something that fits your personality to a tee.

In addition to this, our in-house design team also offer a bespoke service to teams where they can develop their own squad designs. This means you can work with our designers to incorporate your team’s personal style and sass into your new uniform.
