A leotard is a form-fitting garment that covers the torso and is often worn by dancers, gymnasts, and athletes. It is typically made from stretchy materials like spandex or cotton, allowing for ease of movement. Leotards can come in various styles, including long-sleeved, short-sleeved, or sleeveless, and they may have different necklines. Leotards are popular in activities such as ballet, where they are often paired with tutus, and in gymnastics, where they provide comfort and flexibility. They are also used in fitness classes and as casual wear, reflecting their versatility in both performance and everyday settings.
