What to Wear in Every Season

If you want to learn Romanian and speak with confidence, it’s essential to be able to talk about the clothes you wear. Whether you’re shopping, describing your outfit, or discussing the weather, knowing how to name and use clothing items in Romanian helps you communicate in real life situations.

Clothes and the Romanian Seasons

Romania has four distinct seasons: primăvară (spring), vară (summer), toamnă (autumn), and iarnă (winter). Each season comes with its own typical wardrobe, and learning vocabulary based on the seasons makes the language easier to memorize.

Here are some common clothing items you’ll want to know:

🔹 Spring / Primăvară

• trenci – trench coat

• bluză – blouse

• jeanși – jeans

• pantofi sport – sneakers

🔹 Summer / Vară

• rochie – dress

• tricou – T-shirt

• pantaloni scurți – shorts

• sandale – sandals

• ochelari de soare – sunglasses

🔹 Autumn / Toamnă

• geacă – jacket

• pulover – sweater

• fular – scarf

• pantaloni lungi – long pants

🔹 Winter / Iarnă

• palton – coat

• căciulă – beanie

• mănuși – gloves

• cizme – boots
