T\u00f8j skaber folk<\/strong> (clothes create people), as the saying goes. Here are some handy words to get you covered fra top til t\u00e5<\/strong> (from top to toe).<\/p>\n

No matter how much the sun might scorch you from the big blue sky, only a few beaches in Denmark will allow you to walk around n\u00f8gen<\/strong> (naked<\/a>). To go for a swim in the heat, you\u2019ll typically need some badet\u00f8j<\/strong> (swimwear). such as a badedragt<\/strong> (swimsuit), bikini<\/strong> or badebukser<\/strong> (swimming trunks).<\/p>\n

Note, by the way, that the Danish word bukser<\/strong> (trousers, trunks, pants) is always in the plural (as in English). In order to highlight a single garment, use the word par<\/strong> (pair), just like you\u2019d do in English: et par bukser<\/strong> (a pair of trousers).<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re back on dry land, you\u2019ll need your undert\u00f8j<\/strong> (underwear). The first thing you step into is often called underbukser<\/strong> (underpants) for the male edition and trusser<\/strong> (briefs) for the female. A bra is a bh<\/strong> or brystholder<\/strong> (literally \u201dbreast-holder\u201d). A T-shirt<\/strong> is a\u2026 (Well, okay, we\u2019re quite fond of borrowing words from English, as you\u2019ve probably remarked!) For colder days, you might also need str\u00f8mper<\/strong> (socks) and str\u00f8mpebukser<\/strong> (tights).<\/p>\n

For the next layer of clothing, some alternatives are bukser<\/strong> (eventually with a b\u00e6lte<\/strong>), nederdel<\/strong> (skirt) and shorts<\/strong>. If it\u2019s not too hot, add a skjorte<\/strong> (shirt), a bluse<\/strong> (blouse) or even a tr\u00f8je<\/strong> (jersey). For many women, in particular, a kjole<\/strong> (dress) is of course also an option. Fodt\u00f8j<\/strong> (footwear) include sko<\/strong> (shoes), st\u00f8vler<\/strong> (boots) and sandaler<\/strong> (sandals).<\/p>\n

Overt\u00f8y<\/strong> (outerwear) may not be necessary at this time of the year. Even if you don\u2019t need a regular jakke<\/strong> (jacket), however, you might need a regnjakke<\/strong> (raincoat). Let\u2019s save the hue<\/strong> (cap), handsker<\/strong> (gloves), vanter<\/strong> (mittens), halst\u00f8rkl\u00e6de<\/strong> (scarf), undertr\u00f8je<\/strong> (undershirt), frakke<\/strong> (coat), hat<\/strong> (hat) and slips<\/strong> (tie) for colder times.<\/p>\n
