How to use 时装
时装 refers to fashionable clothing and the fashion industry. It often appears in set phrases like 时装秀 (shízhuāngxiù, fashion show) and 时装设计师 (shízhuāng shèjìshī, fashion designer). Example: 她很喜欢看时装杂志。(Tā hěn xǐhuan kàn shízhuāng zázhì.) She really likes reading fashion magazines.
时 (shí) means time or the current moment, and 装 (zhuāng) means clothing or outfit. Clothes of the moment are 时装, fashion.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 时装 for any clothes, but everyday clothing is 衣服 (yīfu). Also, 装 is first tone (zhuāng), not fourth tone like 撞 (zhuàng).
