Elements of fashion sportswear

SPORTSWEAR JAMMER SWIM SUIT A jamme r is a style of swimsuit worn by male swimmers, used mainly in competition to obtain speed advantages. They are generally made of nylon and lycra/spandex material, but may be made of polyester, and have a form fitting design to reduce water resistance. They provide moderate coverage from the mid-waist to the area above the knee, somewhat resembling cycling shorts or compression shorts worn by many athletes. They provide greater leg coverage than swim briefs and square leg suits, although they also have slightly more water resistance CYCLING JERSEY A cycling je rs ey is a specialized jersey (shirt) for cycling. While the vast majority of cyclists worldwide wear conventional clothing while riding, a jersey offers certain advantages for the sport- oriented cyclist. A cycling jersey is cut long in the back to accommodate the bent-over position used in sport-oriented cycling. CYCLING JERSEY Any pockets on the jersey are placed on the back panel as front pockets would tend to spill. The zipper is often made very long so that the cyclist can open up the jersey to allow for ventilation. The cycling jersey is usually worn with a tight fit in order to reduce air resistance. J erseys are made from a material designed to wick moisture from the skin, keeping the cyclist cooler and more comfortable. LEOTARD A leotard is a unisex skin-tight one-piece garment that covers the torso but leaves the legs free. It was made famous by the French acrobatic performer J ules Léotard (1838–1870). LEOTARD Leotards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, figure skaters, athletes, actors, and circus performers both as practice garments and performance costumes. They are often worn together with ballet skirts on top and tights or sometimes bike shorts as underwear. There are sleeveless, short-sleeved and long-sleeved leotards UNITARD A unitard is a skin-tight one- piece garment with long legs and sometimes long sleeves, usually stopping at the wrists and ankles. It differs from a leotard in that a leotard does not have long legs. The garment can be considered to be a combination of a leotard and tights. UNITARD The unitard is basically the wrestling singlet minus the tights, although some wrestlers do prefer to wear the tights in order to further accentuate their uniform and codpiece. Unitards are worn by acrobats, gymnasts, dancers, equestrian vaulters, athletes, circus performers, amateur wrestlers and superheroes, as well as others who require overall body coverage without impeding flexibility. ZENTAI UNITARD Superheroes in comics and films are frequently depicted wearing unitards. When making sophisticated animated films, such as Avatar, zentai unitards are worn by actors to detect their movements.
