Start with a comfortable top and trousers permitting easy steps. Check details around partner-contact areas. Choose your own style; your role is independent of your clothing.
Start with your preferred silhouette
There is no need to choose clothing by an assumed dance role. Compare the cuts you actually enjoy wearing: a relaxed tee, a more fitted shirt or a different neckline. Use garment measurements and your preferred coverage to guide the choice.
Test the whole outfit, including the waistband and pockets. A top that fits well alone can bunch differently when tucked in or worn with a belt. Choose bottoms that allow your normal steps without a tight pull, and keep hems from trailing underfoot.
Inspect the details you will feel
For partner contact, consider hard buttons, large buckles and bulky pocket contents. Put keys and other rigid items somewhere appropriate rather than leave them pressing through the outfit. A spare top can make a long evening easier if you like changing after class.
If you want a dressier look, check the venue information and build around clothing that meets it. For an informal class or social, a well-chosen tee can be a starting point. Finish the outfit according to your own style, and choose a removable layer for the journey.
