A catsuit is a skin-tight one-piece garment with sleeves and long legs, and sometimes with feet or gloves, sometimes with a hood. The name derives from its similarity to the costume worn by a pantomime cat.
Unlike a unitard, its use rarely involves sports, and it may be made of leather, rubber, PVC, or spandex. It is identical to a unitard in construction, but the term 'catsuit' tends to be preferred in erotic contexts.
It may be worn for the pleasure of the wearer, who wishes to be covered in a tight second skin, or of spectators. A catsuit emphasises the shape of the wearer's body, especially the bottom, a woman's breasts and a man's male bulge. Some female catsuits have a long zip in the front, worn partly undone as in the picture, so as to give the spectator the feeling tht he or she could open the zip fully and access the wearer's breasts or crotch. (A suit with a long front zip is sometimes called a jumpsuit.) Others may have zips at the crotch and over the breasts for ease of access.
Catsuits are often worn with thighboots, as in the picture. They are also often worn (especially by women) with a wide, tight belt to emphasise the figure.
A catsuit without legs is sometimes called a kittensuit, although such a garment is indistinguishable from a leotard.
