Ese jersey azul te queda mejor que la camiseta negra.

Ese means that, referring to something at a medium distance from the speaker, or simply something already identified in the context.

In Spanish, the basic contrast is:

• este / esta = this
• ese / esa = that
• aquel / aquella = that over there

So ese jersey azul means that blue jumper/sweater.

In real conversation, the exact distance distinction is not always strict. Speakers often use ese just to point out a known item.

In Spain, jersey commonly means sweater, jumper, or sometimes pullover.

This is a very common Spain Spanish word. In many Latin American countries, people are more likely to say things like:

• suéter
• sweater
• pulóver

So if you are learning Spanish from Spain, jersey is completely normal here.

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun, especially when they describe objective qualities such as colour, size, or shape.

So:

• jersey azul = blue sweater
• camiseta negra = black T-shirt

English often puts adjectives before the noun, but Spanish usually puts them after.

Here quedar is being used in a very common clothing-related way. With clothes, quedar can mean:

• to fit
• to look on someone
• to suit someone

So te queda mejor means something like:

• it fits you better
• it looks better on you
• it suits you better

This is one of the most useful uses of quedar in everyday Spanish.

Te means to you.

Literally, te queda mejor is something like it suits you better or it fits on you better.

The structure is:

• me queda = it suits/fits me
• te queda = it suits/fits you
• le queda = it suits/fits him / her / you (formal)

So in this sentence, the sweater is being judged in relation to you, which is why te is there.

Because the subject is singular: Ese jersey azul.

So:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor = That blue sweater suits you better
• Esos jerseys azules te quedan mejor = Those blue sweaters suit you better

The verb agrees with the thing being talked about, not with you.

Mejor que means better than.

So the sentence is making a comparison:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor que la camiseta negra.
• That blue sweater suits you better than the black T-shirt.

This is the normal way to compare two things in Spanish:

• más ... que = more ... than
• menos ... que = less ... than
• mejor que = better than
• peor que = worse than

Because Spanish often leaves out repeated words when they are already understood.

Full version:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor que la camiseta negra te queda.

But that sounds repetitive and unnatural. So Spanish normally says:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor que la camiseta negra.

English does the same sometimes:

• This one looks better on you than the black one.

So the omitted part is understood from the first half of the sentence.

Because Spanish usually uses the definite article more often than English does.

Here la camiseta negra means the black T-shirt, referring to a specific one already known in the conversation.

Spanish often prefers:

• el jersey
• la camiseta
• los pantalones

where English might sometimes just say:

• that blue sweater looks better than black T-shirt

But in natural English you would usually also say the black T-shirt, so the Spanish is very normal.

Because adjectives in Spanish follow different agreement patterns.

• negro / negra / negros / negras changes for gender and number
• azul changes for number, but not for gender in the singular

So:

• jersey azul = masculine singular
• camiseta negra = feminine singular

And in plural:

• jerseys azules
• camisetas negras

So azul is the same for masculine and feminine singular, while negro changes to negra with a feminine noun.

Yes. Te sienta mejor is also very common and natural.

Both can be used for clothing, but there can be a slight nuance:

• quedar bien/mal often focuses on how something fits or looks on someone
• sentar bien/mal often focuses more on how flattering it is

In many everyday situations, they are very close in meaning:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor.
• Ese jersey azul te sienta mejor.

Both are natural in Spain.

If you are speaking Spanish from Spain, jersey is the most natural choice.

Suéter is understood, but it sounds less typically Peninsular and more associated with Latin American Spanish or international usage.

So for Spain Spanish:

• more natural: jersey
• understandable but less typically Spanish-from-Spain: suéter

Yes, very natural.

A Spanish speaker in Spain might easily say this when commenting on someone’s clothes:

• Ese jersey azul te queda mejor que la camiseta negra.

It sounds like a normal opinion about which item of clothing is more flattering.

Yes, but the given order is the most neutral and natural.

For emphasis, Spanish can move things around a bit, for example:

• Te queda mejor ese jersey azul que la camiseta negra.

This puts a little more focus on te queda mejor or on the overall judgment.

But the original sentence is the safest, most standard version for learners.
