Suit

Hi,

When someone wears a raiment which is beautiful we say "it suits you".

I wonder if there are some other identical expressions.

What about this one: "you've worn to your theeth". A friend of mine told me this one, and I just don't know whether it is widespread in everyday english or not?

Thank you
