Every brand at The Pole Edit has a distinctive identity. Harna is architectural precision. Lunalae is extraordinary softness. Rolling Brand is visual drama.
Queen Wear is technical performance.
But within Queen Wear's technical range Star grippy fabric, precision construction, functional accessories - one collection stands apart from the rest: the CANDY set.
Where the Nova and Horizon tops are about maximising grip function, the CANDY collection is about something different: fit flexibility. An adjustable top that adapts to your body rather than requiring your body to adapt to a fixed size combined with a matching high-waisted short that brings the same technical construction in a complete training look.
The Queen Wear CANDY Philosophy
Before the product detail understanding what CANDY was designed to do.
Most activewear tops have one fit setting per size. The construction is fixed. If you fall between standard sizes, or if your proportions don't match the garment's built-in assumptions, you choose the closest available size and work with what you get.
The CANDY Top was designed to reject this constraint. The adjustable construction means the fit is modifiable — you adapt the garment to you, not the other way around. For pole dancers whose body proportions don't map neatly to standard sizing scales, this is a practical training solution.
Paired with the matching CANDY Shorts, the set delivers Queen Wear's consistent quality in a format that prioritises fit accessibility alongside technical performance.
The Adjustable Top with Mesh – CANDY – Black
Adjustable Top with Mesh – CANDY – Black
The CANDY Top is built around two features that work together: adjustable construction and strategic mesh panelling.
The adjustable mechanism: The CANDY Top's design allows the fit to be modified through adjustable elements that let you dial in the right support level for your specific proportions and training requirements. This is not the minor adjustment of a standard bra clasp, it's meaningful fit customisation that makes the top work correctly across a range of body types that fixed-size tops serve less well.
The mesh panelling: Mesh panels are positioned to provide ventilation where the training body needs it most without compromising the structural integrity or coverage of the top. During intensive pole sessions where core temperature rises significantly, the mesh creates airflow that solid fabric cannot.
What it means to wear the CANDY Top: You put it on, you adjust it to your specific proportions and support requirements, and then you stop thinking about it. The adjustable construction eliminates the compromise that most training tops require - the constant awareness that the top is slightly off, either too loose in one place or too tight in another.
In Black: The foundational colourway that works with everything. The CANDY Top's technical construction is the statement the black colourway keeps the focus on function rather than aesthetics.
The High Waisted Shorts with Mesh - CANDY - Black
High Waisted Shorts with Mesh – CANDY – Black
The matching bottom to the CANDY Top - a high-waisted training short with the same mesh construction philosophy applied to the bottom piece.
High waist for pole training: The CANDY Shorts' high waist provides the security during inversions that serious pole training demands. The structured waistband holds position through every dynamic movement without rolling or requiring adjustment.
Mesh in training shorts: The same ventilation benefit that makes the CANDY Top's mesh panels effective applies to the shorts. For floor work sequences and intensive training sessions, mesh shorts create comfort that solid fabric alternatives don't match.
Inner thigh cut: The CANDY Shorts maintain the inner thigh exposure that pole grip requires - the Queen Wear design priority of functional performance is present here as in every piece in the range.
As a standalone piece: The CANDY Shorts work with any top across The Pole Edit's collection - the Queen Wear Nova or Horizon tops for a full Queen Wear technical look, or any Harna, Nona Perkasa, or Lunalae top for a cross-brand combination that benefits from the CANDY Shorts' ventilated construction.
The Complete CANDY Set
CANDY Top + CANDY Shorts = a complete Queen Wear training set that prioritises fit flexibility and ventilation alongside the brand's technical performance standards.
Who the CANDY set is for:
Dancers who have struggled with standard sizing. If you consistently find that training tops are either too loose in the band or too tight through the chest, the CANDY Top's adjustable construction addresses this directly.
Dancers who train in warm environments. If your studio runs hot, or if you're an intensive trainer whose body temperature rises significantly during sessions - the mesh construction of the CANDY set provides practical thermal management that solid-fabric alternatives don't.
Dancers building a versatile Queen Wear kit. The CANDY set in black is the most versatile piece in the Queen Wear range - the set that works for every training day without aesthetic decisions. Pair it with grippy knee pads for floor work, with the Apex Bodysuit for showcase sessions, and with everything else in the wardrobe for standard training.

Sizing the CANDY Set
CANDY Top: Size to your bust measurement in centimetres, using the product-specific chart. The adjustable mechanism provides flexibility around your base size but starting from the correct chart measurement gives you the optimal adjustability range.
CANDY Shorts: Size to your hip measurement. The high waist construction also warrants checking your high hip measurement (4 inches above standard hip) for waistband comfort.
When between sizes: Go up in both pieces. The adjustable top especially benefits from the slightly larger size more room to adjust down than to compensate for too-small.
