What better way to celebrate Christmas than to give your children a beautiful and festive snowflake leotard. The weather is getting colder and all those Christmas lights, sparkles, stars and glitter really warm up your day, so why not warm up your gymnastics practice too. This one piece design leotard from TFJH has a really unique and interesting pattern on both the front and back. The polyestene and elasthane fabric is also really stretchy and moves with your body when you are moving without restricting any movements. This is one of my favourite Christmas leotards because I love the wintry snowflakes and wavy blue and white line patterns.
Sanqiyuan Santa Leotard

This Santa leotard is so cute. The long sleeve design is perfect for winter practice when the gym gets a little bit colder. You’ll love seeing your girls perform in either the black or blue Santa leotard. I love the sparkly black material most because it looks great with the Santa, snowman, gingerbread man, snowflakes, stars, Christmas trees and candy canes on it. You can’t get more Christmassy than this leotard and it’s cheap too.

Elite Sportswear owned GK have designed and created a wonderful selection of Gymnastics Leotards. The glitz and glam leotard comes in two different colour designs that fade from blue to black or pink to purple. We love the rhinestone print design with the simple elegant lines and fun appealing sparkles. Real rhinestones can end up falling off or press against your skin when on gymnastics apparatus so the print design on this leotard is a practical choice.
The fabrics are soft against your skin and made of good quality materials that hug you comfortably and don’t ride up as you perform gymnastics. Gk leotards are worn by the USA gymnastics team and have established themselves as the most popular brand for gymnasts looking for the best gymnastics leotard.
