A form-fitting garment is an article of clothing that tightly follows the contours of the part of the body being covered. There are numerous types of clothing which typically are or which can be made form-fitting. For example, stockings, leggings, tights and socks are usually form-fitting. Clothing used in dance and in exercise, such as leotards, unitard and swimsuits, are usually form-fitting. Undergarments or foundation garments such as bodysuits, brassieres and underpants are form-fitting to give a smooth line to the outer clothing.
