### **La prenda**: one item of clothing

**La ropa** is clothes in general; a single piece is **una prenda**. **La cazadora** is a short, casual jacket that ends at the waist, often in leather; **la chaqueta** is the general word.

{{item:1219363}}

{{item:1219355}}

### Underwear: usually plural

**Las bragas** (women's) and **los calzoncillos** (men's) are normally plural, even for a single pair. The card says **el calzoncillo**, but you will usually hear **los calzoncillos**.

{{item:1219372}}

### Sizes

Labels say S, M and L; in words, **la talla pequeña**, **mediana** and **grande**. **Ancho** is wide; of clothes, loose or baggy.

{{item:1219394}}

### **Quedar** or **sentar bien**?

You know **quedar** as to meet up. With clothes it is about fit and size; **sentar bien** is about whether something suits you — the color, the style.

| verb | it's about | example |
|---|---|---|
| **quedar** | fit, size | me queda pequeño (it's too small for me) |
| **sentar bien** | how it suits you | te sienta muy bien (it really suits you) |

The two overlap: **te queda bien** and **te sienta bien** can both praise how something looks on you. **Sentar bien** is also used for food: *el café no me sienta bien* (coffee doesn't agree with me).

{{item:1219402}}

{{item:1219398}}

### Exchanging with **por**

**Cambiar A por B** is to exchange A for B — the same **por** you use with prices.

{{item:1219404}}

### **El modelo**

**El modelo** is the design of a product. A fashion model is **el modelo** or **la modelo**; the word does not change.
