Whether she’s going for a casual afternoon skate or taking figure skating classes, the right attire for your young girl will be essential. With so many items available, however, it can be difficult to choose what clothing will work best. Here are a few items to keep in mind when shopping for skating attire.

Casual Wear That Moves with Her In a casual setting with her friends, there is no need for a dress. While jeans may seem like a good idea, they don’t allow for much movement or quick drying after a fall. That’s why leggings, such as those available from ChloeNoel, are an ideal option. Made for skating, they offer plenty of stretch while fitting close to the skate to avoid catching and tripping.   It is also important to ensure that your daughter wears one to three layers, depending on temperature. A removable top layer like the zippered jackets from Mondor can be easily shed for ultimate comfort.

Classes and Competitions Figure skating classes and competitions call for different attire. If classes are what your daughter is doing, then leggings, a skirt, or shorts will be typical.  All will allow the coach to be able to see how your daughter moves as she skates, to ensure correct technique. Skirts and shorts come in many fun styles, such as the butterfly print skirt from Jerry’s. Competitions mean there will be many dress styles, colors, and fabrics from which to choose. You can take cues from your daughter’s coach on the best style. After that, you and your daughter can shop online together. She will know what colors and styles she likes. Whether it’s a fancy dress like Motionwear’s Neverland mint and sequined creation or its long-sleeved sequined competition dress, your daughter is sure to shine. Don’t forget gloves and thermal headbands, which will help to keep her cozy before and after she’s skated.
