stretch fit

Flexibly conforming garment

Stretch fit describes clothing or material designed to conform closely to the body by using elastic or flexible fabric.

The fit relies on the material's ability to stretch and recover rather than precise measurements: These jeans have a stretch fit that moves with you.

The term appears frequently in athletic wear and modern denim marketing.
