Usage Notes

"装扮" often carries a sense of deliberate or special dressing, not just casual wear. It can be used both for literal dressing and for theatrical or festive costumes. Unlike "穿" (to wear), which is neutral, "装扮" emphasizes the act of adorning or transforming appearance.

Avoid confusing "装扮" with "打扮"; while both relate to dressing up, "打扮" can also mean to groom or make oneself look attractive in daily life, whereas "装扮" often implies a more noticeable or thematic dressing.

Example Sentences
