what brands do you recommend for figure skating apparel?
Comfy.
"brands" like Chloe Noel or NY2 or whatever are entirely unnecessary. You'd be best off saving your money and putting it into the things that ACTUALLY matter like lessons and ice time. A pair of $20 leggings from the department store will do the same job.
I'm curious what brands you had a bad experience with?IBased on personal experience, I think the clothing geared towards figure skating isn't very well-constructed.

I think Chloe Noel and NY Sports practice pants were great and worth every dime. My daughter used then for YEARS skating at least 4 sessions a day, at least 5 days a week.
YMMV. I tried the CN pants and wasn't thrilled with them. I work for a major clothing retailer (see sewing experience above) and tend to err on the picky side with construction/fabric choices.
Personally I think that the Lulu/Athleta pants at a similar price point have a lot more seaming and shaping to them, with wide waistbands, which helps them stay up. The CN pants look way too 2-dimensional to me. That's just my personal preference though.
