Step 1: Shop in your Closet

You read it right, first, look inside your dancewear wardrobe and take out all the pieces you haven’t been wearing in a long time. In the daily rush of things, we often resort to wearing the same clothes over and over again. Have a look at the back of your wardrobe, and fish out stuff you have bought, but never really worn for various reasons.

Step 2: Hold a Wardrobe Exchange

Your dance batch mates must be going through the same blues too! Invite your friends over, armed with a few old pieces that they won’t want to wear anymore. Exchange and swap till you drop! You can do this in a lot of fun ways. Organize a dancewear exchange party, where everyone gets to bring 5-6 pieces from their dancewear wardrobes that are good to wear but have tired them out. Exchanging old for something new is the best way to revamp without spending a bomb on your dancewear.

Step 3: Take Advantage of the End of Season Sales and Smart Deals

For example, this BOGO offer that comes with buying 3 at an additional 10% off is a great way to add the crucial pieces like leggings to your wardrobe. If you and your friends join together, you can all get the leggings of your choice at a never before bargain price!

Step 4: Spruce up Your Accessories

You can never go wrong with accessories. Although most dance forms require you to be minimalistic while performing, there are tonnes of non-intrusive, fun accessories that could turn the dreary old leotard tutu combo into an amazing dancewear piece! Pick from a range of hair accessories, fashion jewelry. Warm-ups and Knitwear can be smartly incorporated to give an outfit an entirely new look.

Step 5: Mix and Match Smartly

Athleisure dancewear is the latest rage, creating unique looks that are totally “you” using the same pieces from your wardrobe. A simple, classy leotard can be spruced up to look like a million bucks using a pair of smart pair of denim shorts, for example. Or pick up the latest Noli Yoga “Liquid" legging that can add style to a boring dance top.

Step 6: Change Your Dance Bag

Take one small step at a time. Spruce up your every day look with a new dance bag. Store all your accessories, dancewear, shoes and everything that you need in the fashionable and trendy bags to create an entirely new look for yourself.

10. Printed Leggings –

They were trendy back in 2017 and 2018, and they become only more stylish now. Though classy monochrome leggings always have staple wardrobe essential for every dancer, many athleisure companies are introducing stunning pieces that can make you feel like a diva from within! The Tropics Leggings by Emily Hsu or Noli Yoga “Rebel” legging define the dancer’s personality – even when they are just working out or rehearsing.
