A system for selectively adjusting a fit of an article of clothing, the system comprising: a closure interconnected to a first portion and a second portion of the article of clothing;a third portion of the article of clothing positioned between the first and second portions, wherein, when the closure is in an open position, the system is in a first configuration and the third portion maintains a spaced relationship between the first and second portions, wherein when the closure is in a closed position, the system is in a second configuration, and wherein at least a portion of the article of clothing has a tighter fit in the second configuration than in the first configuration;wherein at least one of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion comprises a fabric panel joined by a seam to a different fabric panel of a different one of the first portion, the second portion, and a third portion, and wherein the first, second, and third portion are located in at least one of a leg portion or a sleeve portion of the article of clothing;wherein the first portion is a first fabric panel, the second portion is a second fabric panel, and the third portion is a third fabric panel, wherein the first fabric panel is interconnected to the third fabric panel by a seam and the second fabric panel is interconnected to the third fabric panel by a seam; andwherein the article of clothing has a leg or sleeve opening, the opening having a first circumference when the closure is in an open position, and having a second circumference when the closure is in a closed position. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the closure is at least one of a zipper, a double zipper, a hook and loop material, a tab, a magnet, a ziplock, ruching, a bungee, lacing, a Boa, a button, a snap, a draw-cord, and a camlock, and wherein the closure is positioned in at least one of an arm or sleeve, a back, a front, a waist, or a leg of the article of clothing. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the article of clothing comprises one of short legs and long legs, wherein the system is positioned in at least a portion of each leg of the article of clothing, and wherein a bottom portion of the third portion proximate to a bottom of each leg is wider than an upper portion of the third portion distal to the bottom of each leg. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the system is positioned in at least one of an inner portion, an outer portion, a front portion, and a back portion of each leg of the article of clothing, and wherein, in the first configuration, the third portion forms a portion of an exterior surface of the article of clothing, and, in the second configuration, the third portion is not visible from an exterior of the article of clothing. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein a first edge of the third portion is interconnected to the first portion along a length of the closure, a second edge of the third portion is interconnected to the second portion along the length of closure, and a third edge of the third portion is oriented in a different direction than the first and second edges, wherein the third edge is positioned between the first and second edges proximate a bottom portion of the article of clothing. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein the first edge and the second edge are of approximately the same length, and wherein the first edge of the third portion is not parallel to the second edge of the third portion. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein in the first configuration of the system, a circumference of at least a portion the article of clothing has a first dimension and the article of clothing has a loose fit, and wherein in the second configuration of the system, the circumference of the at least a portion of the article of clothing has a second dimension that is less than the first dimension and the article of clothing has a tighter fit. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the fabric panel of the at least one of the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion is formed of at least one of a fabric type and a fabric color that is different than a fabric type or a fabric color of the different fabric panel. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein a type of fabric of at least one of the first, second, and third portions is selected to change a rate of ventilation provided in the first configuration compared to the second configuration. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein a type of fabric of at least one of the first, second, and third portions is selected to change an amount of wind proofing provided in the first configuration compared to the second configuration. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein one of the first, second, and third portions comprises one of a water proof fabric and a water resistant fabric, and wherein the system provides a different amount of protection from moisture in the first configuration compared to the second configuration. 12. The system of claim 1, wherein a type of fabric of at least one of the first, second, and third portions is selected to change a rate of flexibility and/or stability as well as control blood flow provided in the first configuration compared to the second configuration. 13. The system of claim 1, wherein a type of fabric of at least one of the first, second, and third portions is selected to change a rate of buoyancy provided in the first configuration compared to the second configuration. 14. The system of claim 1, wherein a type of fabric of at least one of the first, second, and third portions is selected to increase visibility of the article of clothing when the system is in one of the first and the second configurations. 15. The system of claim 1, further comprising at least one holding system adapted to releasably secure a chamois pad or removable chamois pad within an interior of the article of clothing. 16.
