I hope we didn't cover this already, I checked the list and didn't see anything sorry if we did.
Ropas is clothes in Spanish correct?

How do you say:

shirt- camisa
skirt
shoes- zapatos
purse
socks
pantyhose
bikini
underwear
bra
suit
pants
dress- vestido
etc.

Anything else anyone can think of do with clothing just add it on the list please :)

I think I know some of them but I don't thing I have the correct spelling lol so I will only post the ones I know. Some of them are said the same in Portuguese but sometimes the spelling is a little different.

Thanks in advanced :)

1) that is supposed to be "bolsa" for purse and it is used. Obviously, a lady doen't have a "bolsa" in the more prosaic meaning. ("bolsa" = scrotum sac):p

2) That should be: "aconsejar" to advise; "un consejo" a piece of advice

3)Necklace collar
Ring anillo
Sunglasses gafas, lentes del sol

What are the different names for specific style of shoes if any?:
Running shoes "Ten?--as in tennis
Sandals sandalias
heels tacos altos
flip flops curiously: fli-flo' OR chancletas

Music-

Names of articles of clothing vary. In brief:

I think you will hear "correa" more commonly for belt (as an article of clothing) rather than "cintur?n"


HB- Lentes del sol is incorrect. It s/b lentes (o gafas) de sol.

del vs.de changes the meaning completely.

Ricardo900- "bombacha" for panties, well I know where you must have heard that but I don't think that would be used in the Caribbean.

You are right, that should have been de not del

In the DR they use "pantis" for those things!

Just noticed that no-one answered Music's question in the OP. Isn't the word for clothes 'ropa' as opposed to 'ropas'?
