A type of [[leotard]] that became popular in the 1980s as part of the [[aerobics]] fashion craze at the time.

As the name suggests, unlike most leotards, this garnment does not cover the chest and instead only features straps that come up from the waist to the shoulders, similar to a [[slingshot swimsuit]] with a leotard bottom.  This type of leotard is also always [[sleeveless]]. It is intended to be worn with a [[shirt]] or two (often a [[crop top]] or bandeau) above and/or beneath it.

This differs from [[breastless leotard]] which is a type of lingerie or erotic-wear intended to leave the breasts exposed, and is usually cut differently (sometimes omitting the straps altogether or combining them into a halterneck).
