Long Sleeve Gymnastics Leotards for Competition & Training
Long-sleeved gymnastics leotards: elegance and poise for competition
Long or 3/4 sleeves, in solid fabric, mesh or sheer voile: the long-sleeved leotard is a favourite with many gymnasts for competitions and galas. It lengthens the silhouette, highlights every arm movement and gives a truly elegant look on the competition floor.
All our long-sleeved leotards are designed and made in our own workshop. Designs are sublimation-printed for colours that stay bright wash after wash, and many styles are embellished with rhinestones.
Why choose a long-sleeved leotard?
Sleeves keep the arms warm in cool gyms, helping gymnasts stay ready between routines. They also protect the skin during floor and apparatus work. And many clubs choose a long-sleeved style for their competition kit, as it gives the whole team a coordinated look. To kit out your club, visit our club leotards section.
Long sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, mesh or voile
Long sleeves in solid fabric are the most classic and the warmest option. 3/4 sleeves leave the wrists free, which some gymnasts prefer for support work. Mesh or sheer voile sleeves add lightness and a dressy touch, ideal for galas. To choose the right size, check our size guide: our sizes run from 4 to 14 years for children and from 36 to 46 (European sizes) for women.

FAQ – Long-sleeved leotards
Do sleeves restrict movement?
No, as long as you choose the right size. The stretch fabric follows every arm movement. Sleeves should be close-fitting, with no wrinkles and no pressure at the wrists.
Long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves: which should I choose?
Long sleeves are more classic and warmer, making them ideal for competition. 3/4 sleeves leave the wrists free and are popular for their comfort. It is mostly a matter of personal taste and club rules.
How do I wash a leotard with mesh or voile sleeves?
By hand or on a delicate cycle at 30 °C maximum, inside out and without fabric softener. Dry it flat, away from any heat source, to protect the mesh and rhinestones.
