To wear or not to wear?

Summer Intensives. again. 

Since I had a lot of time to think today (9 hour flight. alone.) I thought I would make a summer intensive dress code kind of post.

Generally you could say if you wouldn't wear it in class - don't wear it in your intensive.
Some SI have a special dress code (pink tights, black leotard, sometimes a wrapping skirt) some don't. I love it when they don't have a dress code because it enables you to wear the combinations you like.

One special tip I would have is: If the SI has a placement class in the beginning, wear something that makes you pop out of the crowd. BUT with that I do not mean that you should wear a neon pink leotard and neon green tights. I am talking about something classy and appropriate. If colour is allowed this would be an example:

pink tights, lavender leotard and wrapping skirt (looks darker in the photo)

Other than the "special outfit" bring something you feel SUPER comfortable in, your favourite leotard.

For me it is this one:

Black leotard with cut out in the back

Also you might want to bring a short sleeved leotard in case the studio is a little chill:

Short sleeved leotard with velvet top

And obviously you should bring a plain black sleeveless leotard.

If wrapping skirts are allowed I would always wear one. Those skirts make the legs look longer and the shape of the body more slender.

In addition to a normal black or white one you could bring a fun one.

I brought a new one I really like. The skirt sits on the hips and has an elastic waist:
