Leotards were awesome in the 80s...you could get them at any clothing, dept store. They were fun! And practical to wear as a top with pants or a skirt, cuz they stayed tucked in! I usually wore mine with contrasting colored tights. The only hassle was if ya needed to go to the bathroom, practically had to disrobe first!

I remember leotards so clearly. I had a white one with black pants go with it. It was pretty cool!

It was nice because back then I did dancing and acrobats so I had a bunch and eventually got to wear them to school. I had the same exact one in the posted picture too.

When did the thong leotard come into fashion? Didn't those leos put your undies up your rear to show it off more?

Thong leotards probably did come out in the late 80s, but werent really popular until the early 90s (for exercise wear mostly.) I never cared for thong leotards... the traditional look is way better

The whole point is to leave the leotard exposed over the tights; she's already got the tights covering her down there, anyway. I love 'em (but I would, wouldn't I?) Sometimes I think the (apparently intentional) drabification of exercise wear after then (such as not to scare people off) actually made working out less popular, not more, because you weren't being allowed to have fun anymore. Make things fun and people will respond.

I just can't wait until leotards are back in the mainstream and you can get them everywhere. I wear them all the time with tights under my work clothes because I just love the feeling of how tight they are. But now I have to get them in a few ballet stores around town, and they are just basic colors. all the colorful tights from the 80's are back, bring back the colorful leo's, lol...

I just loved to wear leotards i used to wear a red thong leotard with white meshy tights under. I still wear them when i workout at home but never in public because they are out fashion today but i hope it come back again because they are very comfy to wear.

How nice that leggings are back to the signed, although some argue that I think that discomfort is the most elegant garments for aerobics and yoga and not for everyday use, I hope this fashion again and again imposed forever because this garment does not merit being extinguished I LOVE THE LEOTARDS OF THE 80'S, IT FASHION REVIVAL FOR EVER.
