Clothing

Comfortable, warm clothing is required for figure skating, with layers that can be removed once you have warmed up.
Fleece leggings or pants can be worn. They should not be baggy and should allow you freedom to stretch.

Many female skaters choose to wear thick skating tights with a skating dress or skirt. Young skaters may opt to wear two pairs of tights, one pair footed and one pair footless for extra warmth.
A fleece jacket and gloves or mittens complete the package. Thermal close fitting socks may also be worn in place of tights.
