Which sentence is correct?

This dress suits him.
OR
This dress suits for him.
  

Top answer

This dress suits him. However, the meaning of "dress" that comes to mind is the women's garment, so the statement sounds odd or humorous with "him". "dress" can also mean one's clothing generally, but if you mean that then it's better to say it another way, such as "these clothes suit him".
