suit

Diamonds or hearts

A suit (noun) can, among other things, be a case at law (lawsuit); a set of clothing in which the pieces match (men’s suit); protective clothing for a particular purpose (wetsuit); and any of the four sets of cards (hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs) that share a symbol.

The verb suit typically has an impersonal subject and means to be proper, satisfactory, or appropriate: That color really suits you.

When you suit yourself, you do what you want to do.
