A suit is a set of garments consisting of a jacket and pants or a skirt, typically made of the same fabric and intended to be worn together as a formal or semi-formal outfit. Suits are often tailored to fit the wearer's body and come in a variety of styles and materials such as wool, linen, and silk.
