How it's used

Describes the desirable state of fabric that holds its shape well without looking limp or wrinkled. It is most frequently applied to formal attire like dress shirts or suit jackets where a sharp, clean silhouette is expected. While it implies stiffness, it carries a positive connotation of being well maintained or high quality.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe physical posture or personality traits, as it is strictly reserved for the texture and appearance of textiles. It is not a direct translation for the English word stiff when referring to human joints or muscles.
