Dancewear - A Perfect Capsule Wardrobe

Developing the perfect dancewear capsule wardrobe can seem a daunting task. With so many options available it can be confusing. But with some careful thought a fully functional yet versatile capsule wardrobe that will readily mix and match can easily be achieved. To begin, consider the style of dance and the essential dancewear it requires. High use items should be durable and most importantly comfortable to ensure their longevity. Many dance styles will require a leotard, tights, leggings, pants or a skirt for classes, at the very least. Leotards are particularly useful as they can also double as a top when worn with pants or a skirt. A combination of separate tops, pants and skirts and one-piece items such as leotards and catsuits enhances versatility. Cotton-lycra basics offer good comfort, breathability and durability to withstand the rigors of regular rehearsals; however some dancers prefer shiny-lycra for rehearsal wear.

Choosing the right basic colour theme for a dancewear capsule wardrobe is crucial. The colour needs to be appropriate for the style of dance, suit the personality of the dancer and maintain a fresh appearance. This doesn't necessarily mean all black either but it is crucial that all basics have a complementary colour palette. Select either neutral colours or shades that work together for essentials. Working within a set colour range is often the easiest to maintain. Remember though, if there is a prescribed dress code much of the decision has already been made. Outerwear is an important element of your dancewear capsule wardrobe that must not be forgotten. It is essential that outerwear match the colour theme of your wardrobe to enhance functionality. Outerwear includes pants, wrap tops, tracksuits and dresses that are worn over dancewear for travel to and from studios and performances and to keep the body warm. It protects dancewear and costumes from damage, pilling, and staining and must be made of a suitable fabric, usually similar to that of the basics.

Once the basics have been acquired, detailed accent items can be added for a more dynamic and vibrant wardrobe. The range of fabrics, colours, patterns and textures available allow for creative individual expression without compromising the functionality of the wardrobe. Velvet tops, metallic catsuits, shiny-lycra pants and wildly patterned tights and leggings can all be found to match the core items of a capsule wardrobe. Headbands are both a functional and effective stylistic fashion feature to add further interest. A well-considered, functional and versatile capsule dancewear wardrobe lets the dancer focus on what they love best - dancing.
