How can one define and describe the Shariah-compliant garment that is neither tight nor loose?

The essential condition for Islamic attire is that it should not be tight, describing the body. The jurists have defined "revealing clothing" as that which describes the body due to its thinness, or its tightness and constriction, or if it inherently outlines the 'awrah. Jurists have emphasized that a woman should be strict in avoiding clothing that describes the body's size, even if it is concealing.
