A garment for electrically stimulating muscles is provided to be used for, e.g., rehabilitation or exercise whereby an electrode can be conveniently provided at such a position as allowing the electrode to stimulate the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle to be moved in toning up the muscle through electrical stimulation on the muscle by taking advantage of the muscular contraction caused by electrically stimulating the muscle. A garment for electrically stimulating muscles comprises a garment body, a required number of openings which are provided in the garment body in such a manner that each opening is located at the nerve-muscular junction or in the vicinity of the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle to be moved in the case where a wearer wears the garment body, and electrodes provided at the respective openings in such a manner that each electrode located on the skin surface at the nerve-muscular junction or in the vicinity of the nerve-muscular junction of a muscle in the case where a wearer wears the garment body.
