to fit all his clothes

Hello,
Is it correct to say "The small wardrobe couldn't fit all his clothes"? Is it not better to say "The small wardrobe couldn't hold all his clothes"?
  

Top answer

Gene93 "The small wardrobe couldn't hold all his clothes"? Yes, or couldn't accommodate all his clothes. However, I might also say All his clothes couldn't fit in this/that/the small wardrobe.
