clothes vocabulary

I really like fashion and I read lots of fashion magazines. Sometimes I find expressions which I don't know if are used by native speakers or are just used by professionals.

I know what they mean but I'd like to know if you normally use them . If so, if they are British or American English and if not, what words you use instead.

CAPRIS

GAUCHO PANTS

TANK TOP

SPAGUETTI STRAPS TOP

TEES

Thanks in advance.

As a Canadian-American, I know them all, and would use them if the occasion arose. Unfortunately, my opinions on fashion are rarely called for. I would spell spaghetti this way, however.

I'm very interested in fashion, but some of these words I don't understand. What are capris and tees, could you explain, please?

Hello, May!

"tees" are Tshirts, and "capris" are pants that reach about halfway between knee and ankle. Just google an image of them, you'll see what I mean.
