Spanish
Vestido/Traje/Trajecito
The general definitions of these words are as follows:
Vestido = dress
Traje = pantsuit
Trajecito = not a commonly used term
However, in Catching Fire/En Llamas, Katinss wedding dress was referred to as a “traje.” A reggaeton song called a woman’s dress a “trajecito.” These examples made me question the general definitions I had been given.
I asked about it on Journaly, and the nuanced answers are as follows:
Vestido = dress or formal set of clothing
Traje = a complete and usually elegant piece of clothing
Trajecito = diminutive version of traje
Work Benefits
Benefits = beneficios, prestaciones
Perks = beneficios, “perquecitos” (Spanglish)

Hi JG la Comunicadora. "Traje" is a noun which is often translated as "suit". "Vestido" is a noun which is often translated as "dress"
Agreed with @druida!
I love this idea of posting questions in English about Spanish! I may try this!
Thanks, Anne! It's fun to tap into Journaly's forum side.
