My boyfriend has slept in leggings from before we met. He says they are both warm and comfy, and since I wear them myself, I agree with him and am fine with him wearing them. (He has no desire to go further into women's clothes.)

Now, with stay-at-home, he finds it so convenient to wear leggings during the daytime. He recently bought a new pair of black, cheap but nice looking. The problem is that he has to keep pulling them up because the waistband elastic is weak. I am thinking of buying him a leotard for his upcoming birthday to solve this problem. However, I am maybe the only girl who never took dance classes nor yoga nor gymnastics, so I hav never worn a leotard.

Guys, what type should I buy for him. (Or should I just forget it?) Since he wears a long t-shirt on top, and this pretty much hides his crotch, the bottom part is not the problem. (Nothing much to hide, I must admit; he has a small package.) There are enough styles to choose from, but are any of them best for a guy?

I suggest a tank top, but make sure the leotard is not too snug or it will be uncomfortable pulling on his shoulders. Questions: when warm weather arrives, will you feel uncomfortable if he just wears the leotard and leggings around the house? What if he went outside to cut the grass dressed like that? And what would your feelings be if he discovered that a tank leotard alone is great for swimming?

I would get him a Danskin or Capezio cotton cap sleeve leotard. Their ballet cut legs are quite conservative and will allow plenty of room without cutting in. They breathe better than the nylon versions and are cozier for lounging around in.

Has he got the right size leggings? I'm size 16 on top but wear size 12 leggings. The size 16 ones I bought were baggy and kept falling down.

Thank you for your suggestions. I had no idea there were so many decisions to make.
As to the size of his leggings, he has a little paunch so whereas the waist band should be over his
waistline, it falls over or under. As for swimming, this might be a reason he would not consider
just a leotard, until he loses some of that fat. (He has a small "package," so there is no concern
on that part.)

I'm going ahead with an on-line order and will report later.

Thanks, invunrible. Lots of options. Maybe I need to consider both a summer and winter option.
(And then there are colors! If he is only inside, I wouldn't mind something more colorful than black or grey.)

They sell men workout leggings. Under armor sells them, i usually order them from amazon. They might be tighter and fit better than regular leggings.
