Question Spanish Words For Clothing....

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)

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 "Tení--as in tennis
Sandals sandalias
heels tacos altos
flip flops curiously: fli-flo' OR chancletas

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 "cinturón"


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.
