Match vs Fit vs Suit - English in a Minute

Hi, I'm Sam from BBC Learning English

and today we're going to look at the differences

between to 'match', to 'fit' and to 'suit'

when talking about clothes.

To 'match' simply means that two things

are the same or very similar

– that they look good together.

Your blue shirt matches your blue eyes.

To 'fit' means that something is the correct size.

My glasses don't fit.

This is a fact, not an opinion.

So if you want to say that you think

someone looks good in what they're wearing

to pay them a compliment,

then we use the verb to 'suit'.

That dress really suits you.

Yes, it looks and sounds the same

as the noun 'a suit'.

The meaning and how we use it are different

but the spelling and pronunciation are the same.

Not /swiːt/, /suːt/.
