loose fit

Not snug clothing

Loose fit describes clothing cut to drape away from the body rather than conform to it, allowing extra room and ease of movement: These jeans come in a loose fit.

The term appears on garment labels and in product descriptions as a sizing category between regular and relaxed fits.

By extension, loose fit can describe anything that doesn't match tightly: The data is a loose fit for the model.
