Leotards can be worn by many athletes from figure skaters to gymnasts. Gymnastics leotards like dance leotards are distinguished by their material. They’re made from velvet, velour, or a nylon/spandex mix, which is unlike many other types of most popular leotard brands. The leotards have long sleeve and thick tank top straps, which are never shorter than the required length. They sit higher on your neck. To buy gymnastics leotards means to be more colorful and sparkly than other athletes’ leotards (save for figure skaters). They are often decorated with glitter, metallic, and rhinestones.
A competitive gymnastics leotard will not have an attached skirt, frills, or ruffles like some dancing or figure skating kids leotards. This applies to gymnasts of all ages and levels, as well as children. These are the top leotards that gymnasts can wear.

What to Look for in a Gymnastics Leotard for Children
Here are some things to consider:
- Sleeve Length A gymnastics leotard must have long sleeves that reach the wrist or tank-top style straps. A gymnastics leos should not have spaghetti straps or shorter sleeves. Long-sleeved leotards are preferred by some gymnasts because it gives their arms a longer look and provides a better “line” than a sleeveless one. Some prefer the sleeveless version for its better airflow. It doesn’t matter if your child participates in competitions or gyms that have strict standards. Personal preference is all that matters.
- Fabric: Gymnastics apparel must be washed after each use. It is important to choose a fabric that can withstand multiple washes. A leotard with more stretch is better. Metallic fabrics can be bright and shimmery, which can attract judges to competitions. However, they don’t stretch nearly as well as other materials and can be itchy or scratchy. Lycra is comfortable and stretchy, but it can’t withstand heavy decorations such as rhinestones or appliques. Polyester/spandex, nylon/spandex/spandex blends are a happy medium between Lycra and metallic in terms of comfort and give. However, unlike Lycra, they don’t often have a lot of embellishments. Velvet or velour can be very flexible and can hold many embellishments. However, they are heavy fabrics and may cause your child to feel hot and sweaty.
- Size: Kids Gymnastics Leotards should be fitted and slim, but not too tight. A leotard that is too small will restrict your child’s movements and increase the risk of it tearing. A leotard that is too large will cause your child to feel uncomfortable and may result in them losing points from competition judges. It can also be dangerous if the leotard gets caught on equipment. You can purchase the leotard in a small size for training purposes, but it will not fit your child well enough for competitions.
F.A.Q.
Why do gymnasts wear leotards?
Studio requirements often require that leotards be worn for practice. In some cases, the same outfit may be required when they attend a competition. Safety is another reason why leotards must be worn. They prevent children from slipping on loose gymnastics apparel and protect their balance.
