--- 常常在服飾店看到「suit」單字,指的是一件套裝或西裝,也有很多服飾相關的單字會搭配「suit」,但是還是有很多跟衣服八竿子打不著的用法歐,先從衣服相關的學起吧! ---
monkey suit(n) 正式服裝
Do I have to wear a monkey suit to dinner?
bathing suit=swimming suit(n) 泳裝
morning suit 晨禮服 a very formal set of clothes worn by some men on occasions such as marriage ceremonies, including a long black or grey coat, striped trousers, and a top hat

➡ 晨禮服是男性最高級的禮服之一,現在基本上只會在正式儀式和社交場合時穿上
suit up 盛裝打扮 If someone suits up, they put on a special suit or uniform in order to take part in a special activity or be part of a team
suit (v) (服裝、風格、顏色) 適合... If a piece of clothing or a particular style or color suits you, it makes you look attractive
Green suits you
➢ 如果說衣服的尺寸適不適合,要使用「fit」,例如 The gloves didn't fit
➢ 如果說明樣式或顏色搭不搭配衣服,要使用「match」 ,例如 Does this shirt match these trousers?
--- 下面的用法真的就跟衣服扯不上關係囉! ---
