navy leotard

Navy leotards use a range of fabric constructions, most commonly knits (including interlock and ribbed knit), as well as woven fabrics and microfiber blends.

Many navy pieces advise washing cold with like colors to protect dye transfer. Some descriptions also highlight colorfast fabrics that retain shape and compression through repeated wears and washes.

Machine washing is the most common recommendation. Many styles advise washing cold or inside out and drying flat or line drying; some items list tumble dry for specific pieces.

Infant navy styles emphasize soft, cozy fabrics and easy diaper access—examples include plush cotton-rich velour or rayon/cotton blends with back snaps and elasticized feet. Adult leotards more often use higher-stretch microfiber/spandex blends and include shaping or support features like built-in shelf bras, removable pads, and open/keyhole backs.
