Avete un reparto uomo?

Do you have a menswear section?

Pronunciation

'Reparto' — 're-PAR-to'. Stress on the second syllable. The 'r' is lightly trilled.

When to use it

In multi-department stores or boutiques that might carry both genders. Useful for navigating larger Italian department stores like La Rinascente.

What it means

'Reparto' = department/section. 'Uomo' (man) works as an adjective here — 'reparto uomo'. Similarly: 'reparto donna' (womenswear), 'reparto bambino' (childrenswear).

Cultural Note

La Rinascente in Milan and Rome is Italy's equivalent of a department store. Unlike UK or US department stores, Italian ones often feel more like curated boutique collections grouped by brand rather than by category.
