What Size Gymnastics Leotard Do I Need?

Posted on - 14th June 2022

Here at Olympique, we understand how confusing the process of finding the right fitting tartan can often be, especially when differing brands may all have differing size guides. That’s why in our latest blog, we’re going to discuss the importance of finding the right size and how to find it.

Why Is the Right Size So Important?

When picking a set of gymnastics clothes, you need to find the perfect fit. There are a couple of reasons why this is the case. First of all, the leotard’s tight nature is vital for safety, preventing snags on equipment as you perform. At the same time, judges make decisions based on the lines of your body during a performance. As a result, your leotard must allow you to best present the intricacy of your routine to the judges. 

However, most importantly, it’s vital for your comfort and well-being. Choosing a leotard that’s too big could leave gaps around the leg openings and neckline – which could then lead you to slip during a performance. This could lead you to be more cautious about your movements, which may compromise your routine. On the other hand, a gymnastic leotard that is too tight can lead to physical discomfort - which no one wants during a stressful situation. 

Either kind of discomfort is likely to leave you feeling restricted in your movement which could potentially harm your performance levels in training and competitions. In a worst-case scenario, it could also negatively impact on your health, leading to numbness in your body and tension headaches. Remember: gymnastics leotards should liberate your performance, not constrict it. Here at Olympique, we understand this and carry our motto of ‘perfection in performance’ into all of the work that we do.

Picking the Right-Sized Gymnastics Wear

When picking out the right gymnastics leotards, you can often be faced with multiple brands’ size guides, making it a confusing process. To avoid such confusion, our products are all made in-house, using a universal size guide that applies across the whole range. That way, we can ensure that our sizing is clear, easy to understand and accurate for our customers.
