EN: tight-fitting
That feeling when you try to wear your pre-pandemic jeans. "Bes, ang pitis naman ng suot mo, parang sasabog na 'yan!" It's the opposite of "loose." Think skinny jeans on steroids, or that dress you bought online that turned out to be two sizes too small. You can barely breathe, but hey, fashown!
