Does “FIT” mean the same as “SUIT”?

26/7/19 Does “FIT” mean the same as “SUIT”?

• These words do not mean exactly the same. Fit refers to size and shape: if your clothes fit you, they are neither too big nor too small.
  • These shows don’t fit me – do you have a larger size?
  Suit refers to style, color etc.
  • Red and black are colors that suit me very well.
  • Do you think this style suits me?
  Suit can also be used to talk about whether arrangements and situations are convenient.
  • Tuesday morning would suit me very well for the meeting.
