What are Leotards?
A leotard is a unisex skin-tight one-piece garment that covers the torso from the crotch to the shoulder. The garment was made famous by the French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard.
There are sleeveless, short-sleeved, and long-sleeved leotards. A variation is a unitard, which also covers the legs.

What is the purpose of a leotard?
Leotards are used for a variety of purposes, including yoga, exercise, dance (particularly for ballet and/or modern), as pajamas, additional layered warmth under clothing, and for recreational and casual wear. They may form a part of children’s dressing up and play outfits and can also be worn as a top.
How do you wear leotards?
A perfect-fitting leotard (or bodysuit, or whatever you want to call it) is chic, slimming, and extremely practical: Worn under jeans or trousers, it won’t bunch or come untucked, and in the winter, it adds a cozy layer of warmth underneath a slip dress or sweater.
