Repetto adult dancewear is designed to be worn closely against the body so the dancer's line and movement remain clearly visible. Repetto advises choosing two sizes larger than your usual size for its adult dancewear sizing. Use the body measurements below as an additional guide when selecting your size.

Repetto's adult dancewear sizing is intentionally close-fitting. The brand currently recommends choosing two sizes larger than your usual size so the garment remains fitted while still allowing comfortable movement. We recommend comparing your body measurements with the Repetto chart rather than relying on everyday clothing size alone.
How to Measure for Repetto Dancewear
Measure over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. Stand naturally and keep the tape comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.

Height
Stand straight without shoes, with your feet flat on the floor. Measure vertically from the floor to the top of the head.
Height is particularly useful when checking the overall proportion and length of fitted dancewear.
Chest
Key MeasurementMeasure around the fullest part of the chest, passing the tape underneath the arms and keeping it straight and level around the body.
Keep the tape comfortably close without compressing the chest.
Waist
Measure around your natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso. Keep the tape level and comfortably against the body without pulling it tight.
Hips
Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat while standing naturally. Keep the measuring tape level all the way around the body.
Inside Leg
Stand straight with your legs relaxed. Measure from the top of the inner thigh down the inside of the leg to the ankle.
This measurement is particularly useful when choosing trousers, leggings, unitards and other full-length dancewear.
Repetto dancewear is designed to sit close to the dancer's body and emphasise clean ballet lines. The official adult dancewear guide advises choosing two sizes larger than your usual size. Because different garments can vary in stretch, construction and coverage, use this chart as your starting point and always follow any additional model-specific fit advice shown on the individual product page.

The Leggings That Do a Little More
Some leggings are purely for class. These are the pair that keep going afterwards.
The Repetto Ribbed Knit Leggings combine a clean, close fit with a soft ribbed texture that makes them feel more polished than standard activewear. The result is simple, comfortable and easy to style, exactly the kind of piece that works for ballet warm-ups, Pilates mornings, travel days and everything in between.
Wear them with a leotard and wrap top for the studio, pair them with an oversized Repetto sweatshirt after class, or add knitwear and trainers for a relaxed everyday look.
Repetto Ribbed Knit Leggings – Design & Details
The soft ribbed knit gives these leggings their character. With a viscose-rich composition and added stretch, the fabric feels smooth, flexible and comfortable against the body while keeping a clean, close silhouette.
The mid-rise waist sits neatly through the body without feeling overly high or compressive, while the slim leg creates a long, simple line that works just as well under warm-up layers as it does on its own. They're fitted, but they don't feel like high-performance gym leggings. The mood is softer and more relaxed - made for movement, yes, but also very easy to live in.
Why You'll Love It
The Repetto Mood
Pilates finished. Oversized layer on. Leggings staying exactly where they are.
This is activewear with a ballet sensibility - clean lines, soft texture and an easy fit that works from warm-up to coffee without needing a change of outfit.
One Pair, Three Moods
For ballet: Add a leotard, wrap top and legwarmers for an easy warm-up look.
For Pilates: Pair with a fitted tank or crop and grip socks for a clean studio set.
For everyday: Oversized sweatshirt, trainers, small Repetto tote. Done.
Product Highlight
🩰 The Softer Side of Activewear
The S0551 brings a distinctly ballet-inspired softness to the everyday legging. Viscose-rich ribbed knit feels fluid and refined rather than overtly sporty, while the slim leg and comfortable mid-rise waist create a clean silhouette for warm-ups, Pilates, travel and relaxed everyday wear.
Why We Recommend It
These are a lovely choice when you want fitted leggings without a heavily compressed gymwear feel. The ribbed texture gives the simple silhouette more character, while the gentle stretch makes them comfortable for low-impact movement and long studio days.
Dance World Tip: Pair the slim leg with a wrap top, soft knit or oversized sweatshirt for an effortless dancer-off-duty look. These are best treated as studio, Pilates and lifestyle leggings rather than technical leggings for high-impact training.
