How it's used
Used primarily in retail and fashion contexts to distinguish women's sections from men's wear, known as 男裝. It functions as a collective noun for the category rather than a single item of clothing. When referring to a specific piece, it is common to combine it with specific items like 女裝裙 or 女裝鞋.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe a woman's personal style or appearance, as it strictly refers to the commercial category of clothing. For describing a woman's attire, use terms like 女仔衫 or 佢着嘅衫 instead.
