What is a "catsuit"?

A catsuit is a skin-tight, one-piece garment that covers the body from the neck down to the ankles or feet, and sometimes the hands and head as well. Typically made of stretchy materials such as lycra, spandex, or latex, it hugs the body closely and accentuates the curves and contours of the wearer. Originally designed for dancers and acrobats, catsuits have since become popular as a fashion statement and as fetish wear. They come in various styles, from simple and plain to elaborately decorated with zippers, cutouts, and other embellishments. Catsuits can be worn alone or as part of a costume, and they are often associated with strong, confident, and daring individuals who are not afraid to stand out from the crowd.
