A skin-tight garment is a garment that is held to the skin by elastic tension. Many skin-tight garments are also one-piece garments.
In athletics and performance applications, skin-tight garments—or 'skinsuits' provide protection from injury from dancing, gymnastics, swimming, cycling, skating, skiing, and running by enhancing muscle support and reducing muscle vibration, lessening wind and friction drag, and it also serves as protection from cuts, stings and abrasion, and as effective protection from UV rays of the sun. These also include other related athletic clothing.
The United States military has also utilized skin-tight bodysuits for use in mission specific environments, for both the benefits, but also because skin-tight garments are not as susceptible to snagging or catching on branches, wires, or other obstructions.
In an individual sense, skin-tight garments are often considered sexy on an attractive body, as they allow the exhibition of the natural curves of the form. People who are on the lookout for a mate often start wearing clothes that are tighter.
