- A playsuit is an item of lingerie consisting of an all in one design where the top half, similar to a negligee, is joined to the bottom half, similar to a panty or shorts. The playsuit also exists in mainstream fashion as a type of garment for day or evening wear.
The playsuit, which is typically a shorter version of the jumpsuit, was popular in the 1970's, and was usually made from silky fabrics for evening wear, or jersey and terry-toweling for casual summer occasions. Since 2006, the playsuit, jumpsuit and catsuit has made a resurgence in mainstream fashion.
