Maybe you have seen people wear a full body spandex bodysuit on Halloween or other theme parties. Don’t make a wild guess - they are not the real superhero (Spiderman or Ant-man) or ninjas. Well, they are just common men and women, or probably kids wearing zentai costumes.
So what is zentai?
Zentai, is a Japanese word that means a skin-tight, full-body spandex suit that covers the entire body including face and hands and feet. The word is derived from zenshin taitsu (Japanese: 全身タイツ), which refers to full-body tights. That's the zentai meaning.
A zentai suit is usually made from spandex lycra fabrics that are flexible, thin and breathable. There are also zentai bodysuits made from microfiber which is superior to spandex lycra. These lycra bodysuits are usually unisex clothing - yes, they are worn by men, women, as well as kids. And if you don’t feel comfortable with the full cover, there are open face zentai suits available.
