The flashdance look

The girls have got it right, they want to look like a sporty barbie. Leotards, the fashion fad of Jane Fonda days and disco nights, are back in vogue. They’re selling like hotcakes in fashion stores, we’ve never seen so many girls flaunting leotards at gyms, dance studios and in concerts.

Why didn’t you notice, Beyonce flashing her taupe leotard for her performance in Addis Ababa! Hollywood actress Mischa Barton confesses that she wants to play Supergirl so she can wear ‘skin-tight leotard’,“I’d love to wear skin-tight leotard, they’re pretty awesome.”

The lure of goggles at workout!

The aerobics fashion of 80s, has been revived and updated with new funky neon colours and goggles for workout.

The new jumping jacks love the modish look with the 80s inspired fashion craze like the braided hair bands and the ever comfy leotards, which is a snug attire that fits perfectly. We must say, it’s quite a must-have for dance zealots, the Royal Academy of Ballet UK has leotards as their compulsory dress. Anindita, a professional dance trainer, says, “Leotards give a professional look to the dancers. They are well-fitted and hence are hassle free while performing. While teaching dance, the movements become more visible and therefore prominent for learners. They can easily hold up to the vigorous dance steps.”

Even as the 80s strikes back, hypercolour T-shirts, spandex, side ponytails will all be back. Designer Puja Nayyar says, “But the big news will be about leotards and its adaptations that will be worn by everyone. Knitted leotards and leggings will look fabulous as they are fitted and extremely comfortable plus they are tailor-made for all body types. But don’t forget to accessorise yourself with headbands, big bags and goggles.”
