Making sentences with clothing items in Spanish and asking prices

First of all, for asking prices in Spanish, we may use two questions: ¿Cuánto vale + objeto? or ¿Cuánto cuesta + objeto?, CUÁNTO being HOW MUCH here. The key verbs to remember are VALER (to be worth) and COSTAR (to cost). In order to ask the price of a single item, like UNA BLUSA (a blouse), you should ask ¿Cuánto vale esta blusa? but to ask the price of several items, change VALE to VALEN and make the noun plural as in ¿Cuánto valen estas blusas?.
Demonstrative pronouns like ESE, ESTE and so on are very common when asking for the price of an item. Other ways to ask are ¿Cuál es el precio de este artículo?, meaning what’s the price of this item?, or in a more polite way ¿Me puede decir el precio de este artículo?, which means can you tell me the price of this item? Let’s read and listen a few examples using the vocabulary for some clothing items in Spanish and the different ways to ask for prices.
Saying prices in Spanish
For saying prices in Spanish, we will also need the verbs VALER conjugated as “vale” for a single item and “valen” for several and COSTAR conjugated as “cuesta” for one item and “cuestan” for several. Here are two examples:

There are other questions you can ask if you are buying clothes in a shop such as: “¿Tiene este en otro color?” (Do you have this in a different color?), ¿Puede mostrarme…? (Can you show me…?) and ¿Dónde están..?/¿Dónde puedo encontrar…?. Here are some examples:
Describing clothes in Spanish and saying what you are wearing
Most of the time, people will also describe clothes in Spanish when buying at a shop or saying what they are wearing. To do so, we will need the verb SER plus some adjectives. You can talk about colors (los colores), shapes (la forma) and sizes (tamaños), for example: Esa blusa rosada es bonita (That pink blouse is beautiful) and “Me gusta la camisa grande” (I like the big shirt). We will learn a lot more about adjectives for clothes colors, sizes and styles in the next lesson. In addition, to talk about the clothes we are wearing, we use the present progressive, “ESTAR + gerundio”, of the verb USAR(to wear) e.g. “Yo estoy usando un sombrero” and “Ellos están usando camisetas”.
Language Tip:
The verb USAR means both to wear and to use in Spanish, so it is grammatically correct to say “Yo puedo usar la computadora” and also “Estoy usando calcetines negros” when talking about clothing items in Spanish.
