Shiny Zentai Suits: Coloring your Days

Zentai is a close-fitting garment made out of nylon or glossy elastic material like spandex that covers the entire body. Zentai suits are designed to be shiny and highly colorful and hence most zentai are designed in bright metallic colors and also in colors like black, pink, crimson red etc. It is the kind of a suit that transforms a dull looking person into an instant attraction for all who see them. It is mostly worn by acrobats, athletes, sky divers, gymnasts, ballet dancers etc. Zentai is a costume that was invented by the Japanese and word zentai is coined most likely from the Japanese word Zenshin Taitsu, which means “full body tights”.

Cat suits are shiny and highly attractive suits that are designed to snugly fit the body. But, they are slightly different from zentai – the former covers the entire body below the neck but the latter covers the face and the head as well. Since zentai suits cover the entire body, you need to use masks to breathe when sporting them. Vision is not a major problem because you would be able to see through the fabric in most cases. But some shiny zentai coated with metallic colors or PVC may be harder to see and breathe through. These costumes have zippers at the back or in the front and they can be easily worn.

Zentai are costumes that can be worn for attraction, expressing confidence, bravery and also feel comfortable to perform daredevil tasks like skydiving, deep sea diving etc. Athletes in sports such as speed skating, skiing, cycling, gymnastics etc wear suits that are very similar to zentai, but are designed specifically according to the activities involved in the sport. Stage performers like pop singers, ballet dancers also wear catsuits for enhancing their physical appearance. Zentai can be used as an excellent base for masquerades as well.

Catsuits are also considered to be a fetish item. These suits are made out of latex are extremely shiny and tight fitting and may be worn for sex appeal. The costume feels extremely smooth and silky and the person wearing feels a lot attractive. They are generally worn with a neck corset and with gloves and socks to obtain a wholesome look. Though boots or shoes are not integrated with these suits, they are generally worn along with thigh-high boots of the same color for a tremendous finish to the costume. Catsuits are fabulous costumes worn for parties, fashion shows and for grand occasions that makes the wearer the “star of the show”.
