Modern Day Armor ~ Euroskins®

By ELLEN LEWIS

A few days ago, while wandering through the Met in NYC, I happened upon the Arms and Armor exhibit and found myself mesmerized. As I have seen it before, I can only attribute my new found interest to the fact that I am currently reading Cervante’s Don Quixote where knights take on a whole other meaning then the historic warrior mantle. It seems quite beyond the realm of reality that anyone could manage any feat of any kind ensconced in all that armature. It reminds me of my attitude about shapewear, a lingerie category that I personally have resisted for its “constraining structure” forever. But, I must admit that this product niche has certainly evolved in the past 10 years. Even die-hard brands have shifted focus from total containment to comfortable control. And thus my interest in Euroskins®, a luxury intimates, shapewear and athleisure brand inspired by a study of movement often attributed to dance.

Euroskins design and product development is founded in the DNA of parent company, Eurotard and their genetic commitment to dance technology. Flat seaming, seamless engineering, Tactile® Microfiber, hidden key pockets with closures, accessible and/ or integrated gussets, and contouring assets are just a few of the elements that inform the construction of these collections. For my part, I am focused on their legwear styles, whose fashion thermometer is at an all-time high. 13 different legging styles grace the athleisure assortment including, multiple weights of quick-dry anti-microbiol microfiber, velvet, and cotton available full length and capri.  Here I am zeroing in on the best-selling contour leggings with a tummy flattening foldable waistband  available S-XL. Replete with many of Euroskins® legwear options, this opaque smoothing style provides effortless restraint as it moves seamlessly through a woman’s wardrobe.
