Usage Notes

When using "合身," speakers imply that the clothing suits the wearer's body shape comfortably and looks neat. It is often used in shopping contexts or when giving fashion advice. Unlike general words for "fit," "合身" focuses on the physical fit to the body rather than abstract suitability.

Avoiding Confusion

Do not confuse "合身" with "合适," which means "suitable" or "appropriate" in a broader sense. "合身" is specifically about the physical fit of clothing.
