hi, narrow bottomed trousers, if in denim, can also be called "skinny jeans" - these trousers are usually narrow the whole way through.
white buttoned jacket
and if something fits tightly, it is said to be �tight-fitting � or even just �fitted �
eg: a tight-fitting sweater or a fitted sweater.
sweater (american english)
jumper (irish/british english) |
