What does "¡Eso no te va!" mean?

Question

I've come across another saying that I can't seem to translate to my liking. Here is the context of the conversation (from Extra Ep. 2):

Lola and Ana enter during a conversation between Pablo and Sam

Pablo: (To the girls) Sam me preguntaba que se tiene que poner.

Lola: No no no no... ¡Sam, no escuches a Pablo! ¡Escúchame a mí! ¿Hm?

Sam: OK

Lola: (to Sam) Necesitas ropas de diseño como...(some visual imagery)

Ana: ¡Sam! ¡Eso no te va!

Ana: Necesitas un estilo vaquero como...(some more visual imagery)

...

So obviously Ana, Lola, and Pablo are arguing about their opinions about Sam's style of dress.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

We can do the same in English:

¡Eso no te va!

That doesn't go with you.

Means it doesn't match/look good on you- It doesn't suit you.

With people "suit you" is more common than "go with" or "match"- which tend to be used more for items with each other.

(sentar) to suit

¿me va bien esto? does this suit me?

no le va bien el sombrero the hat doesn't suit her

We often say down here, "That's not you.." meaning that is not a look that looks good on you. - Winkfish, Jun 16, 2016

Yep. Same in NZ Wink. And even "Not you" within context. - jellonz, Jun 16, 2016
