A
form-fitting garment is an article of
clothing that tightly follows the contours of the part of the body being covered. Most form-fitting clothing is worn by females; when worn by men, it is sometimes regarded as being
effeminate. A feature of Western societies is the popularity of form-fitting clothing worn by women, compared to equivalent male garments. These include
t-shirts,
shorts, and
jeans. Some cultures and religious communities disapprove of form-fitting clothing, especially outerwear, which they consider to be
immodest.
