body suit

Torso-covering single piece

A body suit is a close-fitting one-piece garment covering the torso, typically snapping at the crotch.

In fashion, it functions like a shirt that stays tucked: She wore a black body suit under her blazer.

Body suits also appear in dance, gymnastics, and theater.

The term sometimes extends to full-body coverings like wetsuits or spacesuits.
