Basic Clothing Vocabulary
When shopping for clothes in Spanish, it's important to learn basic vocabulary such as camisa (shirt), pantalones (pants), zapatos (shoes), vestido (dress), and chaqueta (jacket). Knowing these terms can help you identify items and communicate your needs more effectively.
Asking for Sizes
To ask for sizes, you can say ¿Tiene esta prenda en talla pequeña/mediana/grande? which means "Do you have this garment in small/medium/large size?" This is useful when you are choosing clothes and want to ensure they fit you.
Talking About Colors
Colors are essential when shopping. Common colors include rojo (red), azul (blue), negro (black), blanco (white), and verde (green). You can say Me gusta el vestido azul to express "I like the blue dress."
Describing Fabrics and Styles
Learning words like algodón (cotton), lana (wool), moderno (modern), and clásico (classic) helps in describing clothes. Saying Este suéter es de algodón means "This sweater is made of cotton."
Making a Purchase
When ready to buy, use phrases such as ¿Cuánto cuesta? ("How much does it cost?") and Quisiera pagar con tarjeta ("I would like to pay by card"). These phrases are essential for completing your shopping smoothly.
