A red bodysuit

In clothing, a bodysuit, or body, is a leotard-like garment that may or may not have snaps at the crotch. It is usually form-fitting and sleeved, although some are sleeveless and are cut alike a tank top. Although bodysuits for men do exist, they are more commonly worn by girls and women as items of lingerie, as underwear, or as foundation garments. Bodysuits may be also be worn as a top for the smooth line it gives or because it cannot become untucked from one's trousers or skirt.

Azzedine Alaia and Donna Karan helped make the bodysuit a defining item of eighties fashion.

Onesies (or snapsuits) are bodysuits for younger children and toddlers.
