tailored fit

Made for you

Tailored fit describes clothing cut to follow the body's contours more closely than a regular or relaxed fit, but without the snugness of slim fit.

The term borrows from bespoke tailoring, where garments are custom-made to a client's measurements.

In ready-to-wear clothing, tailored fit typically means slightly tapered through the torso and sleeves, creating a polished appearance without restricting movement.

This tailored fit shirt looks sharp but I can still move my arms comfortably.
