grow into
Develop to suit
To grow into something is to become large enough or mature enough for it.
A child grows into hand-me-down clothes that were once too big.
More figuratively, someone grows into a role or responsibility as they gain experience: She really grew into the job after a few months.
The phrase suggests gradual development toward a natural fit.
