Slim or fitted clothing simply means a lack of excess fabric. In pants, the terms refers to a straight leg that fits closer -- but doesn't hug -- the thigh and calf.

Accentuating the Positive

Skinny vs. Slim
There is a notable difference between tailored, proportional and close-fitting attire and "skinny" clothes.
