Which fit should I choose?
If you're unsure about which fit is right for you, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the different fits.
Fit for Trousers & Jeans
When it comes to trousers, some fits are more common than others. It's normal to find jeans in anything from Skinny fit to Loose fit, ranging from very tight to very loose:
- Skinny fit: The tightest fit, very form-fitting.
- Slim fit: Close-fitting and body-hugging.
- Regular fit: Standard fit, neither loose nor tight.
- Tapered fit: Looser at the thighs and narrower down the leg.
- Comfort/Loose fit: Loose-fitting with straight legs.
However, dress pants and chinos have different fits:
- Relaxed fit: Slightly narrower than regular fit.
- Modern fit: Slightly wider than regular fit.
- Wide fit: Loose fit with wide legs.
- Carrot fit: Standard fit at the top and narrower down the leg.
Some pants can have a specific fit and also be ankle-length, in which case the fit is called Cropped fit.
Fit for Tops:
T-shirts, shirts, and knitwear can have many different fits depending on the style and look. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Super slim fit: The tightest fit that hugs closely.
- Slim fit: Fits closely and accentuates the body.
- Relaxed fit: Fits closely but without being tight.
- Regular fit: Standard fit, neither loose nor tight.
- Modern fit: Wider but more tailored.
- Comfort/Loose fit: Wide and loose fit.
- Oversize fit: The largest and loosest fit.
