Match vs fit vs suit

Match
Match means that two things are the same or very similar.

  • Your blue shirt matches your blue eyes.
  • Our cars match! They're both red hatchbacks!

Fit
Fit means that something is the correct size. This is a fact, not an opinion.

  • My glasses don't fit.
  • I can't fit into my jeans. I think I put on weight!

Suit
Suit means that something looks good on someone. It's used to pay someone a compliment.

  • That dress really suits you. 
  • Those shoes don't suit you. You should wear something more formal.
