slim-fit
Snug clothing cut
Slim-fit describes clothing cut narrower than standard sizing, designed to follow the body's contours more closely without being skin-tight.
The term appears most often with shirts, jeans, and suits: I prefer slim-fit dress shirts because they don't billow out when tucked in.
Slim-fit sits between regular and skinny cuts, offering a tailored look while still allowing comfortable movement.
