Tights have a regrettable tendency to work their way downwardunder the combined influence of gravity, tension, & the naturaltaper of the leg.  If they would just let men wear the leotard*over* their tights, we could counteract this without having toresort to belts or suspenders ["braces" to the British].  Beltsaren't always reliable in my experience (unless too tight forcomfort), & suspenders make it impossible to tuck your T-shirtin (unless you let the suspenders show, which I think ugly).

A unitard is probably the best solution, if you have the bod forit.  Regrettably, I haven't, & I have to disguise the silhouettewith a T-shirt, & there it is, hanging out, just as bad as if Ihad resorted to suspenders.
