Germans may not be known for their fashion sense or a flair for dressing up, but a list of today's hottest international fashion designers includes Germans and Austrians with names like Karl Sander, Wolfgang , Hugo Boss and t Lang. And don't forget the in the 1960s. Plus, in today's highly competitive field of fashion modeling, some of the top models are German: Heidi and Claudia to name just three of the most famous. But our interests here are much more modest. We want to introduce the most essential German vocabulary related to clothes, duds, clobber, threads or gear—in German: That would also include related phrases ("to get dressed") and descriptive terms ("the pink blouse"), accessories and makeup, clothing and shoe sizes, plus some shopping terms. Do you know the German word for "shoelaces"? How about "cuff," "skirt" or "sports coat"? You'll find these and many other clothing terms in our special glossary. If you need to review your colors, numbers (for sizes) and related grammar for this topic, see the Review links below.
