What is a fit?

A fit can refer to a physical condition of being healthy and in shape. It can also refer to a seizure or convulsion in which a person's body moves uncontrollably. In the realm of clothing, a fit pertains to how a garment conforms to the body when worn. The fit of clothing is determined by factors such as the sizing, cut, and design. A good fit for clothing is one that flatters the wearer's body shape and size, feels comfortable, and allows for ease of movement. Wearing clothes that do not fit well can lead to discomfort, poor posture, and a negative self-image.
