As the temperature drops, it's time to layer up. For us pole dancers, this means finding ways to stay warm without sacrificing style, protection, or mobility. Personally, I love joggers and slouch socks.
Here's a guide to styling your pole dance knee pads with different legwear options to keep you cozy and confident all season long.
1. Knee Pads + Legwarmers
- Classic combo: Pair knee pads with long legwarmers for a timeless look. This is a great option for both practice and performances.
- Playful twist: Opt for patterned legwarmers to add a pop of color or personality to your outfit.
2. Knee Pads + Socks
- Sporty chic: Combine knee pads with athletic socks for a comfortable and functional look. This is perfect for intense workouts or pole fitness classes.
- Cozy vibes: Wear knee pads with fuzzy or cable-knit socks for a warm and inviting aesthetic.
3. Knee Pads + Leggings
- Sleek and stylish: Layer knee pads over leggings for a sleek and modern look. Choose leggings that match or complement the color of your knee pads.
- Textured interest: Experiment with leggings with different textures, such as ribbed or patterned, to add visual interest to your outfit.
4. Knee Pads + Sweatpants
- Casual comfort: Combine knee pads with sweatpants for a relaxed and comfortable look. This is ideal for casual practice sessions or lounging around the studio.
- Trendy twist: Choose sweatpants with unique details, like drawstring closures or side pockets, to elevate your outfit.
5. Knee Pads + Other Layers
- Over-the-knee boots: Wear knee pads with over-the-knee boots for a glamorous and edgy look. This is perfect for performances or special occasions.
- Tights: Layer knee pads over tights for added warmth and protection. Tights can also help to prevent muscle soreness.
The key question when pairing pole dance knee pads with other legwear is: over or under? There's no wrong answer, but I'd say knee pads over so you don't wear a hole in your legwarmers, socks, leggings, sweats, or other layers. Your knee pads will not only protect your knees, but your legwear too!
