Women’s Sports Kit Fit Guide: Fitted vs Relaxed & Choosing the Right Option for Girls and Women

Choosing the right women’s sports kit isn’t just about size — it’s about shape, development, and fit preference.

At Twenty 4 Nine Clothing Co., we design kits to suit real athletes at different stages, which is why we offer two women’s fit options alongside our youth and crossover sizing.

This guide explains:

  • When a women’s kit is appropriate

  • The difference between Fitted and Relaxed women’s templates

  • How the relaxed fit bridges the gap between men’s and women’s cuts

  • How to choose the right option for your team

Why Women’s Kits Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

Before physical development, female and male body shapes are very similar.

At younger ages, athletes typically have:

  • A straighter torso

  • Minimal bust development

  • Similar shoulder-to-waist ratios

In these cases, a fully women’s fitted kit can feel restrictive or uncomfortable — even if the athlete is female.

That’s why development matters more than gender when choosing kit fit.

Our Women’s Kit Options Explained

We don’t force athletes into one template. Instead, we offer two women’s fit options, designed to suit different body shapes and comfort preferences.

Women’s Fitted Version (V2.0)

This is our fully women’s-specific template, designed for physically developed female athletes.

Best suited for:

  • Defined bust and waist shape

  • Athletes who prefer a performance, close-to-body feel

Key features:

  • Shaped through the waist

  • Contoured chest area

  • Athletic, streamlined silhouette

  • Designed for movement and performance

📏 Available sizes: Small (S) – 2XL

This is the right choice when the female form has fully developed and a fitted performance look is desired.

Women’s Relaxed Version (The In-Between Fit)

Our Women’s Relaxed Fit is the option that many clubs don’t realise they need — and it solves a lot of problems.

This fit sits:

👉 Between a men’s template and a fully fitted women’s template

Best suited for:

  • Developing female athletes

  • Players who want more room through the body

  • Teams with mixed comfort preferences

  • Clubs transitioning from youth to women’s squads

Key features:

  • Straighter cut than the fitted women’s version

  • More forgiving through the waist and chest

  • Still shaped for women (not a men’s kit)

  • Comfortable, confidence-boosting fit

Think of it as women’s kit without the squeeze.

Where the 4XS–XS Crossover Range Fits In

For younger or undeveloped athletes, our 4XS–XS range remains the best option.

Ideal for:

  • Youth teams

  • Early teens

  • Athletes with minimal physical development

This crossover range aligns more closely with a unisex or men’s-style shape, allowing comfort, movement, and growth without compromising performance.

Why This Matters for Clubs & Schools

Getting fit wrong leads to:
❌ Discomfort
❌ Self-conscious players
❌ Complaints and reorders
❌ Kits sitting unused

Getting it right delivers:
✅ Confident athletes
✅ Better performance
✅ Happier squads
✅ A professional, unified look

And that’s exactly why we talk you through it properly.

Our Athlete-First Approach

We don’t believe in:

  • “Pink it and shrink it”

  • One-template-fits-all

  • Guesswork sizing

We believe in:

  • Honest guidance

  • Fit options that make sense

  • Kits athletes want to wear

Because confidence starts with comfort.
