A - Z Clothing

Question

Here we go...this might be a little harder...you'll have to be creative!

Category: Clothing

So, for this I will say, it doesn't have to be just a shirt, socks etc. Hats, scarves etc. can be included. As long as it is something that you would "put on".

I will say the first word that begins with "A", the next person will post a word that starts with "B", then "C" and so on. Please put your answer in Spanish, and provide an English translation.

My Word:

Abrigo - coat

Have fun!

Jeans is a word that has been accepted into Spanish. Just checked a couple dictionaries. - 0057ed01, Jan 21, 2010
