athletic fit

Sporty clothing size

Athletic fit describes clothing cut to accommodate a muscular build—broader shoulders and chest tapering to a narrower waist.

It sits between slim fit and regular fit, offering room where muscle mass develops while avoiding excess fabric elsewhere: I switched to athletic fit jeans because regular ones were too tight in the thighs.

The term appears most often in men's clothing.
