Etymology

The term 'formfitting' is derived from the combination of the words 'form' and 'fitting.' 'Form' comes from the Old French 'forme' and Latin 'forma,' which means shape or figure, while 'fitting' originates from the Old English 'fittan,' meaning to be suitable or to adjust. The evolution of fashion in the 20th century brought about increased interest in clothing that emphasizes the body's natural lines, leading to the popularity of intricate, formfitting designs in contemporary apparel. As textiles improved, especially with the advent of elastic fabrics, formfitting clothing became more widely embraced in both casual wear and high fashion.
