Let’s begin by expanding on the differences between unitards and leotards that we laid out in the intro. Pants Length

A biketard is a leotard with shorts. The shorts length might be quite short for women and longer for men. Unitards are not exclusively long pants, but that’s usually what this dancing and athletic garment is known for. If not long pants, then a unitard may feature ankle-length leg protection or shorts. Unitards, although still an uncommon sight in many physical activities, are the preferred garment when doing circus performing as well as equestrian vaulting, dancing, gymnastics, acrobatics, and other forms of physical activity.If you ever hear another dancer talk about leotards or unitards with shorts, they’re referring to biketards. Another unofficial name for these garments is bootietards since they do showcase one’s rear.

OOPS!

What we can say for sure is that at the start of the 1900s, dancers and models wore unitards that were flesh-colored to mimic nudity. The design of a biketard reduces exposure of one’s legs so that when a cyclist is using the bike seat, they have less pain, chafing, and discomfort when on long bike rides.

You don’t only see leotards associated with sports though, and that’s been the case since the 1970s. Leotards have crossed over into streetwear and are still worn for fashion purposes to this day. When Should Dancers Use a Leotard? What About a Unitard? It’s a little more common for unitards to have short sleeves, and some even feature long sleeves for cool-weather wear. By comparison, leotards rarely if ever have long sleeves. Gender of Wearer In dance, while your skills and talents matter the most, we would be remiss to ignore the fact that one’s looks do play a role as well. That’s why dancers put so much time into their hair and makeup and buy the nicest-looking dance outfits.Both unitards and leotards are often sleeveless. You might see some leotards with short sleeves, but this is uncommon. By the 1950s, leotards were still the favored garment by circus performers but soon bled into gyms and exercise facilities as well. When should a dancer wear a unitard? For more physical and certainly more acrobatic dance styles, a unitard allows you to enjoy a full range of flexible movement while offering more protective coverage than a leotard. Why Is the Leotard More Comfortable Than the Unitard? There are times to stand out and times to blend in, and you’ll want to wear the right dance uniform to your class or rehearsal depending on what that style of dance calls for. That’s why having a unitard and leotard handy is best. History of the Leotard Some styles of dance favor either the leotard over the unitard or vice-versa. For example, in ballet, it’s standard to wear leotards and tutus. Leotards allow the legs optimal freedom and therefore are the preferred choice for ballet dancers.

Many modern forms of dance have embraced the leotard as well for its excellent upper-body and lower-body flexibility.

Skintight spandex is probably not anyone’s definition of comfortable, but the general consensus among dancers is that the leotard is more comfortable than the unitard. Why is that? How do you select the correctly sized leotard or unitard for you? You need to take some measurements. Let’s discuss them now. Anne White, a professional tennis player, wore a white unitard in 1985 to the Women’s Singles Championships game, which made a lot of headlines in the day. In 2018, the French Open banned unitards after Serena Williams wore one to a tennis game. As we discussed earlier, ballet is the primary type of dance in which leotards are favored, but it’s not the only one.
