A leotard is a unisex skin-tight one-piece garment that covers the torso but leaves the legs free. It was made famous by the French acrobatic performer Jules Léotard (1842–1870)

By the late 1970s leotards had become common both as exercise and street wear, popularized by the disco craze, and aerobic fashion craze of the time. These leotards were produced in a variety of nylon and spandex materials, as well as the more traditional cotton previously used for uni-colored leotards and tights. Exercise videos by celebrities such as Jane Fonda also did much to popularize the garment.

I admit that I wear leotards, sometimes paired with tights or unitards, along with slouch socks, and aerobics sneakers.

I only really wear them for exercise at this time. I am an aerobics enthusiast.

I heard that mens leotards are coming back in style. Can't wait for that, then I will buy more and maybe wear them to aerobics class.

My favorite leotards are the wrestling singlet kind, but I will wear regular ones too.

Well take care and thanks for letting me post my comment.

Oh and by the way, I'm a man. Why are people so judgmental of men doing aerobics, especially when they wear a leotard?

Well take care.

Again yours truly,

Hello again.

I just started to pair leg warmers with my leotards. Leg warmers rock!!! Got my Jane Fonda on!!! Leg warmers are in again, and I see more men wearing them now then ever along with the girls.

Take care!

Warmly yours,
Chris

One last thing I wanna add. I like to wear my leotard over my tights or unitard, if I do wear the tights or unitard.

Take care and blessings.

Yours truly,
Chris

P.S.-I think I'm talking way too much here.
