Our Favourite Transitional Dancewear Pieces

As we head into the cooler months of the year the need for layering is starting to creep in. While we’re still blessed with gloriously sunny days (as well as a rainy day here and there), the mornings are brisker than they once were and that evening chill is starting to require more than just a light jacket. With this cooler weather it starts to get a little harder to leave the house and while we love having a cosy night in or a slow morning in bed, these indulgences aren’t always possible. To keep you feeling peachy and ready to take on the day no matter what the weather, here are some of our favourite trans-seasonal pieces that will allow you to stay warm while it’s a little more fresh outside. Have a look at our top picks below!


Ellen Top

From our Merino Wool Collection, the Ellen Top is an easy to wear design that’s sure to keep you cosy. Made from Australian Merino Wool, the fine fibres allow for a super soft finish which responds to body temperature fluctuations, keeping you warm when you’re cool and cool when you’re warm. It’s also anti-odour, anti-pill and anti-static, making it a favourite amongst many. The classically cut boat neckline provides a flattering look and its cropped style allows for easy layering, enhancing its versatility. Available in a range of colours, it can easily transfer from being worn in the studio to being worn on the street.

Felicity Shrug

A great way to keep warm before class starts, the Felicity Shrug covers the arms and shoulders with a no fuss look. The long sleeves extend the lines of the arms without inhibiting the movement of the body. As with the Ellen Top, it’s also made from our Australian Merino Wool responding to body temperature fluctuations and containing all the benefits of being anti-pill, anti-odour and anti-static. Coming in a range of colours, the Felicity Shrug is the perfect addition to your class wear and can easily fit into your dance bag for a simple outfit add on.

Avery Track Pant

When it comes to keeping warm, you can’t go past a classic trackie. A wardrobe staple that can be dressed up or down, the unisex Avery Track Pant has a slimline design which creates a flattering shape and silhouette. Its adjustable drawcord at the waist allows for sizing versatility and its inclusion of pockets add to its functionality. Made from lightweight and breathable unbrushed fleece, these trackies will keep you warm without overheating. Available in two classic shades, black and grey marle, you’ll always find something to pair with these pants.

Jordan Jacket

A perfect addition to your wardrobe, the Jordan Jacket offers the best of both worlds with a stylish silhouette and maximum comfort guaranteed! Offering premium warmth in cooler weather, it's made from Ultra Fleece which contains 33% recycled polyester from PET plastic bottles - great for both you and the environment. Its relaxed fit and flattering scooped back allow for coverage and comfort and the deep enclosed pockets will keep you hands toasty! A classic from our core collection, you can’t go wrong with this sweater to take you through the cooler months. It also comes an assortment of colours to best suit your style.

Ingrid Pullover

The ideal studio to street garment, the Ingrid Pullover’s relaxed style allows for versatility. Designed with the intention to be layered, this loose fit pullover has oversized sleeves which allow for maximum flow and movement. Its scoop neck further enhances comfort and provides a flattering fit. Made from lightweight Modal, it keeps you cool as you move and feels oh-so-soft to touch. Coming in your wardrobe staple colours of black, white and grey marle, you’ll never have trouble finding something to pair this top with.

Gia Legging

Take your classic black style to a new level with the sports-luxe Gia Legging. Designed to hug you in all the right places while still elongating the leg line, the sports mesh and marle panelling at the calf add unique detail and breathability to your classic black legging. Its wide waistband also provides comfortable coverage and support. Made from our signature ProForm™️ and super soft Marle Supplex, these leggings will keep you cool and dry as you move and groove. Available in a variety of colours, you’ll find these tights so comfortable you’ll want to wear them everyday!
