If you've ever watched a figure skater glide across the ice in a sparkling dress and wondered what exactly they're wearing — or you're a skater yourself trying to figure out what belongs in your bag — the answer is more considered than it looks. Every piece a figure skater wears does a job. Some of it is about warmth, because rinks are cold and cold muscles don't move the way you need them to.
