- Coach Mady’s Favorite Practice Leotards for 2026
Practice in style!
Destira Girls This Stretch Your Limits leo from Destira is one I keep coming back to — that soft, stretchy fabric holds up through hours of practice without pinching or riding up, and the orange starburst pattern is a fun pop of color in the gym. Bonus: Destira partners with the Women’s Sports Foundation, so every purchase gives back to programs supporting young athletes. Comes with a matching scrunchie!

Destira Girls Premium Closed Back Gymnastics Leotard in bright blue with sequins —
Destira’s In the Clouds leo is a rainbow gradient that starts with periwinkle at the bottom and moves through blues, greens, yellows, oranges, and pinks into white. It’s a Perfect Tank style in soft, lightweight 4-way stretch fabric with smooth seams, and a matching scrunchie is included. Sizing tip from Destira: their leos are made to fit snugly, so they suggest going by your gymnast’s street clothing size and sizing up if you want extra room.
Destira’s Crystal Ribcage leo is the skeleton leo of the season, with a sparkling crystal ribcage design on a black tank, made for a gymnast who wants Halloween flair at practice. It comes with a matching scrunchie. Parent heads-up: the crystals need a little extra care (check Destira’s care instructions before the first wash), and holiday leotards are final sale, so double-check the size chart before ordering. #gymnastics #leotards #destira #halloweenstyle #crystalribcage #gymnastmom

Patriotic Leos
If there’s one name every gymnastics family knows right now, it’s Simone Biles. GK teamed up with the greatest of all time on this stunning patriotic leotard and honestly — it shows. The red, white and blue sequin firecracker design is eye-catching without being too much, and the fabric is that lightweight breathable quality you expect from GK. It fits girls, juniors and women so it works for just about every level.
With July 4th and America’s 250th right around the corner, this one feels especially timely. And let’s be honest — any young gymnast who gets to wear a Simone Biles leo to the floor is going to feel unstoppable. ⭐🇺🇸
