fit / match / suit
These words are all used when something is appropriate or perfect for a situation.
They are also used when talking about clothing.
When two things match, it means they are equal, or very similar so they appear nice
together.
I'm buying a yellow hat to match my yellow jacket.
Your socks don't match – one is black and the other is brown.
That modern lamp doesn't match the old-fashioned decor in the bedroom.
I think he's telling the truth; his story matches the evidence.
Whereas match usually refers to color and appearance, fit refers to size. If a piece of
clothing fits, it means it is the correct size or shape:
These shoes don't fit me; I need a larger size.
It’s hard for me to buy pants because I'm tall - but these jeans fit me perfectly!
The table won’t fit through the doorway; we’ll need to take it apart to get it
inside.
