【Learn Chinese】9 Summer Fashion Words for Beginners (Part
 
It is still cold outside and summer feels far away. But it is never too early to start to prepare for new summer clothes, right?
We’ve compiled a list of the top 9 Chinese words for summer fashion to ensure you’re well-prepared. Are you ready to transform your Spring wardrobe into a summer fashion spectacle with us?
 
Hat 帽子
A hat isn’t just a fashion statement. It’s a shield, a protector, and a guardian of your skin against harmful UV rays, significantly reducing the chances of unwelcome sunburns.
In Chinese, the word for “hat” is 帽子 (mào zi). Here, 帽 stands for “hat” or “cap,” while 子 is a suffix that doesn’t carry a specific meaning in itself. Think of 帽子 as your passport term – it can whisk you away to the realm of various hat styles, from sun hats (太阳帽; tài yáng mào), cowboy hats (牛仔帽; niú zǎi mào) to baseball caps (棒球帽; bàng qiú mào).
 
Skirt 裙子
In Chinese, “skirt” translates to 裙子 (qún zi). Just like 帽子, 裙子 is an all-encompassing term referring to a variety of skirts. Whether you’re slipping into a long skirt (长裙; cháng qún), a short skirt (短裙; duǎn qún), or a playful jumper skirt (背心裙; bèi xīn qún), 裙子 is your go-to word.
 
Shorts 短裤
In Chinese, “shorts” translate to 短裤 (duǎn kù). The term is quite literal, with 短 meaning “short” in length and 裤 translating to “pants” or “trousers.”
But the world of shorts isn’t one-size-fits-all. The term 短裤 encapsulates a variety of styles. You could be reaching for your gym shorts (运动短裤; yùn dòng duǎn kù) or maybe your denim cut-offs (牛仔短褲; niú zǎi duǎn kù) for a beach day.
 
T-shirt T恤
Isn’t it fascinating to find English letters in the midst of Chinese characters? This is exactly the case with T恤 (T xù), a loanword that comes directly from the English term “T-shirt.”
When it comes to casual summer attire, a T恤 undoubtedly tops the list. Today, T恤 have not only claimed their rightful place in our everyday wardrobe but are increasingly becoming an accepted part of many workplace dress codes.
