NOTES
(by DuoItalian)
There are some differing views on which Italian terms translate to which type of upper body clothing. While this is widely left to interpretation, you should be somewhat safe to abide by the following:
- maglione (sweater)
- maglia (shirt made with a heavier cloth, like a jersey)
- maglietta (t-shirt)
- camicia (casual shirt with a collar and buttons)
- camicetta (blouse)
TIP: This lesson interprets the word calza as “sock”, which is only partially correct. This is more of a woman’s “stocking”, while calzino is the Italian word for a more conventional (athletic, men’s dress, etc.) “sock”.
