The offseason is a time to reflect on 2018 and reminisce on all the best and worst parts. When it comes to leotards, that means finding the one true leotard ranking champion. So that’s exactly what we set out to do. Each editor ranked the top 25 leotards from this season (one per team) with 1 being the individual’s favorite and 25 being their least (but by no means a bad one—the competition was stiff!). Then, each ranking’s numeral was taken for each editor and averaged to find that leotards score. The leotard with the lowest score is the 2018 champion. We’ve included each editor’s total ranking order at the bottom for your reference.
