I must not be smart this year ;-) - I kid. It is actually mesh on the pants, and I know what your thinking and TOTALLY know what it looks like on paper and how it sounds in words - but I can tell you in person, it changed my mind. Before I got the prototypes, I already KNEW I was going to A) Hate Capris and B) Hate Mesh in pants and had ideas ready of how to change my vision.... but in person, I changed my mind. Our owners (who ultimately get the final say) were like NOPE! NEVER! NOT HAPPENING and even in person they were like... jk... we love it! Super out of my comfort zone and style, but I stand by I feel I combined different/innovative to look clean, classy and athletic! Always open for the criticism though! I hate capris and not a fan of a lot of mesh, but I also didn't want to be categorized as only being able to do "clean, basic" designs so I wanted to try to stand out. Our program had HUGE GROWTH this year and we are completely changing up our style of choreography and trying to hang even harder with the big dogs. I think our uniform goes along with that inspiration. GK design team was awesome altering my ideas to make construction worthy and good fit!
*Edited to Add* After looking at the pics... They make the Mesh sections look HUGE on the Capris and Mens Pants. They really aren't as noticeable.
*Double Edit* This is only for our IOC5 who is A) Inshape and B) We only allow 18+ to be apart of our IOC Program. I would never put my full season kids in this uniform.
