What is the difference between fit and suit?

I found several sentences with these verbs, but I still don't know when I should use "fit" when "suit".
Does the red suit you?
The skirt is too tight, it doesn't fit you.
Your new sweter suits you perfectly.

Hey there :)

Fit in this situation is meaning size "does it fit you?" "Is it the right size?" they mean the same thing. e.g "The skirt is too tight, it doesn't fit you" "The skirt is too tight, it's not the right size"

Suit in this situation is meaning 'look good' "does red suit you" "does red look good on you?" (Red clothes) likewise "Do I look good in red" "Do I suit red?" these mean the same thing.

Hope this is helpful!
