Spanish Clothes Vocabulary — Dress in Spanish
Clothing is some of the most practical Spanish you can pack — useful in a shop, a suitcase or just describing what someone wore. This page covers the everyday words for clothes and accessories, from la camisa (shirt) and el vestido (dress) to la chaqueta (jacket) and el abrigo (coat), each with its English meaning, its pronunciation and a button to hear it spoken in a native voice. A note for English speakers: gender travels with every garment, so learn el sombrero and la falda as whole units. Spanish also reaches for the verb llevar ("to carry/wear") for what you have on, and clothing often appears with the definite article rather than a possessive. The spelling is reliably phonetic, so once you've heard zapatos you can say it. Tap any 🔊 to listen, skim the table, then take these into Linguver, where the English word drops and you shoot its Spanish translation from the drum.

Reading a list won't make these stick. Linguver turns vocabulary into a shooting game — the English word falls, you spin the drum and fire its Spanish translation. You recall the word under a little pressure, so it stays. A way to learn that doesn't feel like studying.
