We’ve been wearing strapless American Apparel leotards under summer skirts for years. They’ve kind of been our little secret, like pulling a tube dress out of a magic closet.
And when we saw them in H&M last week, we knew our smooth move was officially a full-on trend.
But we’re not seeing them paired with tasteful pieces, like high-wasted skirts or paper-bag shorts. We’re seeing them with huge fur coats, spangled capelets and, most importantly, without any pants.
Some people think wearing a leotard a la Sienna is cute in a leggy kind of way. And even though you seem on display, they ensure that everything stays in its place.
We still think an uncovered leotard makes it look like you’re about to bust a move to Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite at any second. But maybe we’re just not playful enough?
Would you wear a leotard? Or is this a look better left to pre-teen dance recitals?
