When Zerone Design launched at The Pole Edit, two bodysuit lines arrived together: the Selene and the Yumi. Both are premium pole bodysuits. Both carry the brand's distinctive earthy, refined colour philosophy. Both are beautifully made.
And they are genuinely different pieces, different cuts, different colourways, different energy, and different ideal uses. If you're deciding between them, this guide gives you the complete comparison so you invest in the one that belongs in your wardrobe.
The Quick Answer
Choose the Selene if: You want a performance-forward bodysuit with a more structured silhouette and a colour palette that reads dramatically under stage lighting.
Choose the Yumi if: You want the brand's most expressive colourways - particularly the iconic Matcha Latte and Lavender Milk in a bodysuit with a slightly softer, more accessible energy.
Choose both if: You've worn Zerone Design before and want to build a complete Zerone wardrobe across both lines.
The Selene Pole Bodysuit
The Selene is Zerone Design's performance flagship - a precisely constructed one-piece designed with showcase and stage performance as much as training in mind.
The Selene Colourways
Selene Pole Bodysuit – Blue Mist A cool, ethereal blue-grey. Under studio lighting, Blue Mist has a translucent, atmospheric quality that reads as effortlessly sophisticated. This is the Selene for dancers whose aesthetic runs toward the cool and otherworldly.
Selene Pole Bodysuit – Noir Zerone Design's interpretation of black with the brand's quality construction elevating it well beyond a standard black bodysuit. The Noir is the versatile foundation piece: it works with any aesthetic, photographs in every lighting condition, and never dates.
Selene Pole Bodysuit – Cocoa A warm, rich brown that sits between neutral and statement. Cocoa works beautifully across a wide range of skin tones and brings warmth to studio photography that cooler neutrals don't achieve.
Selene Pole Bodysuit – Moonlight A soft, luminous ivory, warmer and more dimensional than pure white. Moonlight is the Selene's most photographed colourway, particularly under natural light or warm studio lighting where it takes on an almost glowing quality.
The Selene Character
The Selene carries a certain deliberate seriousness. It's a bodysuit that signals intention - the piece you choose when the performance is the point. The colourways (Blue Mist, Moonlight, Cocoa, Noir) are each chosen for how they interact with light rather than for colour-as-expression.
Who the Selene is for: Dancers preparing for a showcase, competition, or photo session where the bodysuit needs to do serious visual work. Dancers whose aesthetic runs cool and refined. Anyone who wants a Zerone piece that photographs with the most impact under stage conditions.
The Yumi Pole Bodysuit
Where the Selene is the performance statement, the Yumi is the expression of Zerone Design's most distinctive design identity - the colourways that have made the brand talked about in the pole community.
The Yumi Colourways
Yumi Pole Bodysuit – Matcha Latte The colourway that introduced Zerone Design to many pole dancers. Matcha Latte is a warm, muted green-grey that reads as sophisticated without being neutral - genuinely unlike anything else available in polewear. This is the piece people see in training photos and immediately search for.
Yumi Pole Bodysuit – Lavender Milk A dusty, muted lavender with enough grey undertone to avoid reading as purple-purple. Lavender Milk photographs with a delicate, ethereal softness that works beautifully in natural light.
Yumi Pole Bodysuit – Noir The Yumi in black same foundational versatility as the Selene Noir, but in the Yumi's specific cut. For dancers building a Zerone wardrobe and wanting to understand both lines, comparing the two Noir pieces is the clearest way to feel the cut difference.
Yumi Pole Bodysuit – Cranberry Jam A deep, warm red-burgundy - the most saturated colourway in the Yumi range. Cranberry Jam brings warmth and richness without the brightness of a primary red, making it the Yumi's most dramatically wearable colourway.
The Yumi Character
The Yumi carries a personal, expressive quality. Where the Selene's colourways respond to light and stage conditions, the Yumi's colourways respond to personal expression - Matcha Latte and Lavender Milk in particular feel like colours chosen for how they make the wearer feel, not just how they appear under lights.
Who the Yumi is for: Dancers who connect with Zerone's distinctive colour philosophy — the muted, earthy palette that sits between neutral and expressive. Those who have seen Matcha Latte on someone else and wanted it immediately. Dancers whose aesthetic is personal and considered rather than performance-dramatic.

On Price
The Yumi is slightly more accessible starting from $76 vs the Selene's consistent $92. Both represent quality investment in premium polewear; the Yumi's lower starting price makes it the practical choice for a first Zerone Design purchase.
On Colourways
This is the most meaningful decision driver. If Matcha Latte or Lavender Milk are what drew you to Zerone Design - those exist only in the Yumi. If Blue Mist or Moonlight called to you, that's Selene. The Noir exists in both lines at the same quality standard.
Sizing: Does It Differ Between the Two?
Both the Selene and Yumi are Zerone Design pole bodysuits, and both should be sized using the same process: measure your bust and hip, compare to the specific product's size chart, size to the larger of the two measurements.
The community has not reported significant sizing differences between the Selene and Yumi lines. If you know your size in one, it's your reliable starting point for the other - though always verify against the specific size chart since collection updates can introduce minor variations.
Note on pre-order availability: Some sizes in both lines are currently on pre-order with confirmed ship dates at The Pole Edit. In-stock sizes ship immediately. Check the specific product page for current availability on your size.
Styling Each Bodysuit
The Selene styled: The Selene's colour palette and construction make it a standalone statement. Wear it alone for training or showcase. Blue Mist pairs naturally with silver or minimal jewellery. Moonlight works with nearly any studio environment.
The Yumi styled: The Yumi's earthy palette invites creative pairing. Matcha Latte photographs beautifully against both dark and light backgrounds. Cranberry Jam pairs with gold accessories. Both work as content-creation pieces with natural light.
