Shopping in English: Clothes and Sizes

Buying clothes on a trip and freezing when it's time to speak? Here are the phrases to ask about sizes and prices and to try things on in English — then practice them out loud.

Key phrases

I'm just looking, thanks.
The polite answer when a shop assistant offers help.
Do you have this in a medium?
Ask for another size: small, medium, large.
Can I try this on?
"Try on" = test clothes in the fitting room.
How much is this?
The most direct way to ask the price.
Do you take card?
Check they accept cards before you pay.
It doesn't fit — do you have a bigger size?
When something is too small and you need a size up.
I'll take it.
How to say you've decided to buy it.

Tip: In the US, sizes are S/M/L or numbers that may differ from your country's — ask "What size is this?" if you're not sure. And "fit" is how it sits on you; "size" is the number.
