I have been trying to figure out what to call these in Spanish, but I can't think of a good way to look it up. Could you please tell me what these would be called in Spanish? Thank you

And then what would you call a long sleeved tshirt?

Thank you very much!

It's una playera estilo Polo.

And a camiseta is a T-shirt/undershirt.

Camisa is a button up shirt

Camisa/camiseta/etc con mangas largas Camisa/camiseta/etc con mangas cortas

etc

It's all explained here

(Del ingl. polo, y este del tibetano pholo, pelota).

Camisa is a general term for "shirt". In most places, "camiseta" would be taken as a "t-shirt", although many places in Mexico, that would be "una playera". The shirt you diagramed might be called a "polo", but again, these things can be pretty regional. A long sleeved shirt would be "Camisa de manga larga".

It's a mix and match and you can specify the collar type, the sleeve length and the degree of formality by choosing the words and phrases used above.

Tim - here's the RAE definition of a remera and I can't say I know where or how you'd wear it.

remero, ra.

(De remo).

  1. adj. Zool. Se dice de cada una de las plumas grandes con que terminan las alas de las aves. U. t. c. s.

  2. m. y f. Persona que rema o que trabaja al remo.

Perhaps it's what a remero wears to work.

Then where do "Remeras" come into the picture?
