Traditional jazz costumes are black with shoes that somewhat resemble tap shoes. The general stereotype is that jazz dancers wear black hats which is true in a lot of films and routines, this makes the dance more easily identified as people will recognise this sort of costuming. Jazz costumes are about fun and should reflect the dance style well. More modern costumes consist of crop tops and baggy trousers. These outfits must allow the dancers to carry out the energetic dance style well whilst not taking away form the all important dance moves.
Depending on what the choreography is aiming to get across to the audience also effects the costume choice. Jazz, like most other dances, lets the costumes compliment the dancing and more modern costumes are very bright to add to the impact of the fun music and enjoyable dance routines.
