Common KS3 clothes nouns include “un pantalon” (trousers), “un pull” (jumper), “une jupe” (skirt) and “des chaussures” (shoes). Learning these helps you describe outfits and uniforms.

Why does French use un and une for clothes nouns?

You can use the verb “porter”, for example “Je porte un pantalon” (I am wearing trousers). You can also add colours or adjectives, but they may change to agree with the noun.
