snug fit

No room left

A snug fit is close and tight without being uncomfortable—clothing that hugs the body, a lid that seals firmly, a part that slots into place with minimal gap.

The phrase emphasizes precision over looseness: These jeans are meant to have a snug fit.

In manufacturing, a snug fit describes components that match closely but can still be assembled by hand.
