“Fit” is a casual way to say that someone looks physically attractive or in good shape. It’s short, punchy, and mostly used about a person’s appearance—usually when they seem healthy, toned, or stylish.
In everyday chat, you’ll hear people say, “Wow, that new co-worker is so fit,” or “You’ve been going to the gym—you’re looking fit.” Friends drop it in texts, on Instagram comments, or while swiping on dating apps to point out that someone caught their eye because of how good they look.
