How to Say “Getup” in Italian

By Freddie Bruce • Updated September 30, 2026

alzati

The Italian word for getup is alzati.

Meaning: outfit (noun)

Did you know?

The word alzati is actually the imperative command 'get up' used to wake someone, not a noun for clothing.
If you want to talk about a professional 'getup' or uniform, you would use divisa, which shares a root with the English word 'division'.
In Italian, the verb alzarsi used in alzati literally means 'to raise oneself', treating the body as an object being lifted.

Examples in context

Vedrai il suo look quando arriva alla festa stasera.
You'll see her getup when she arrives at the party tonight.

Example conversation

Francesco and Martina are getting ready for a themed party.

Francesco

Guarda il mio alzati per la festa!

Martina

È davvero divertente, Francesco.
It is really funny, Francesco.
Francesco

E tu? Qual è il tuo alzati?
And you? What is your getup?
Martina

Lo sto ancora preparando, Martina.
I am still preparing it, Martina.
