Relaxed Fit vs Regular Fit: What Is the Difference?

Both are common on size tags. They are not the same.

Regular fit

Follows the body with modest room to move. A classic, neat cut.

Relaxed fit

More room through the chest, waist and sleeves. Looser, but not as extreme as oversized.

Oversized

Even larger, usually with a dropped shoulder. See what a drop shoulder is.

Labels vary between brands, so use the size chart.
