Kl\u00e6r skaper folk<\/strong> (clothes create people), as the saying goes. Here are some handy words to get you covered fra topp til t\u00e5<\/strong> (from top to toe).<\/p>\n

No matter how scorching summer temperatures may get in Norwegian valleys, few places will allow you to walk around naken<\/strong> (naked). By the way, kl\u00e6r <\/strong>(clothes) is a fun word, as it exists only in the plural. For a single item of clothing, use the word klesplagg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To go for a swim in the heat, you\u2019ll need some badet\u00f8y<\/strong> (swimwear), such as a badedrakt <\/strong> (swimsuit), bikini<\/strong> or badebukse<\/strong> (swimming trunks).<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re back on dry land, you\u2019ll need your undert\u00f8y <\/strong>(underwear). The first thing you step into is often called an underbukse<\/strong> (underpants) for the male edition and truse<\/strong> (briefs) for the female. A bra is a beh\u00e5<\/strong>, also spelt bh<\/strong> (short for brystholder<\/strong>, literally \u201dbreast-holder\u201d). A t-shirt is a t-skjorte<\/strong> in Norwegian. For colder days, you might also need str\u00f8mper<\/strong> (socks) and a str\u00f8mpebukse<\/strong> (tights).<\/p>\n

For the next layer of clothing, some alternatives are a bukse<\/strong> (pair of trousers \u2013 eventually with a belte<\/strong>), skj\u00f8rt<\/strong> [shirt] (skirt) and shorts<\/strong>. If it\u2019s not too hot, add a skjorte<\/strong> [shorteh] (shirt), a bluse<\/strong> (blouse) or even a genser<\/strong> (jersey). For many women, in particular, a kjole<\/strong> (dress) is of course also an option. Fott\u00f8y<\/strong> (footwear) include sko<\/strong> (shoes), st\u00f8vler<\/strong> (boots) and sandaler<\/strong> (sandals).<\/p>\n

Yttert\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 lue<\/strong> (cap), hansker<\/strong> (gloves), votter<\/strong> (mittens), skjerf<\/strong> (scarf), frakk<\/strong> (coat), hatt<\/strong> (hat) and slips<\/strong> (tie) for colder times.<\/p>\n
