it depends on how old the child it and how developed his boy parts are. Since a leotard is made of a relatively thin material and either two or four way stretch it will be form fitting. the material feels amazing against the skin and has been known to cause unintentional excitement in older boys so you can imagine the problems that can arise (no pun intended). So before a young boy reaches “that” age, a it seems to get younger and younge, he should get used to wearing an undergarment called a dance belt. But, Yes he can as long as he wears tights over his leotard and he is too young to get excited..
A leotard is a one-piece garment that covers the upper and lower torso. Leotards made specifically for men are simple designs. A leotard is very comfortable to wear and gives complete freedom of movement for athletic activities.
Some Wrestling outfits are similar to leotards, designed with short legs in a one piece outfit so that separate shorts are not necessary.
In Ballet class, a boy or man can wear a tank-top leotard worn under tights instead of a tee-shirt and shorts. In fact, a leotard with tights instead of shorts is often preferred. Such dancewear gives an unbroken body outline to better showcase the appearance of the body during dance movements, or to let a teacher instantly see if a leg is not perfectly straight when it should be. Occasionally, dance performance costumes are designed based on a leotard alone. A male dancer might wear a leotard without shorts, but never without a dancebelt. A tan dance belt is worn underneath for the same function as a jock strap, but made with better form fitting material and less conspicuous seam thickness.
The same is possible for some stage costumes and circus costumes.
For gymnastics, as an activity akin to dance, for a special reason, a boy could wear a male leotard in the same way as a dancer. However, consideration should be given when the occasion calls for wearing only customary attire including shorts.
The question does not make clear whether it is asking when custom requires a boy to wear a leotard with shorts or not.
Other possibilities include a boy wearing a Halloween costume as a superhero with tights under or over the leotard, or as a circus performer. A leotard can be part of various other Halloween costume ideas.
not really, especially without shorts on
The leotard is more put together and classical and the leotard helps the dancer do some dance moves that were not possible in a tshirt and shorts.
In ballet and in gymnastics it was required when i took them to wear a leotard.
Yes, but it is not recommended. Male dancers wear leotards, so you might want to check with a store that sells leotards for men. Male leotards are made differently than women's leotards, and would fit them correctly.
well no just a leotard
you can wear any tight! shorts, t shirt....
Little boys tend to wear nylon lycra or cotton shorts or lycra cycle shorts over top their leotards. However at 4 years old there is no reason why he couldn't wear the leotard on its own. However my little boy finds it more comfortable to wear a zone lycra leotard with no undies underneath and then lycra shorts over the top to hide any embarasing wedgies from his leotard ... A boys leotard is just like a looks just like a girls leotard. The only difference is that it is lower cut on the leg.

The answer to that is pretty simple, since I were a leotard every week. All you have to do is just wear gym shorts over them. They have to be a certain kind of shorts. Not the kind you usually see in stores.
At my club when we train we mostly wear sleveless leotards and shorts or with a t-shirt over this. When competiting we wear leotards like gymnasts, we basically wear the same things as gymnasts.

It just looks like regular pants.
Yes, But male gymnasts typically wear shorts over their leotard
A leotard. They sell them at the gymnastics place. I do not recommend a sports bra and shorts because if you are doing back flips, the coach has nothing to hold on to. If you can't afford a leotard, then shorts and t- shirt is fine.
if your practicing at home you wear what ever your comfortable in, i recomand wearing shorts tho. if you go to the stodio, follow the dress code, and at the same time you have to look cute, and makesure you wont get to hot. for example, when i was 2-3 years i wore a leotard with tights and sometimes a skirt, 3-5 years i wore tights shorts and a leotard or a tank top, 6-8 years i wore tights fluffy shorts and a sport bra that was fluffy too, 8-12 years i wear tights shorts and sport bras, if you do bell-a i do not suggest you wear shorts and bras. i suggest leotard and skirts
For cheer you can wear spankies sports bra shirt and shorts and for gymnastics you wear a leotard which you could probably find at target or on a gymnastics website or they might have a gymnastics leotard you could buy and theres always eBay
do emo boy wear shorts?? Er... If they want to then sure..... Anyone can wear shorts if they want to... =P
