"He doesn't look good in yellow clothes."

Translation: 他穿黄色的衣服不好看。

[daltonstout59]

is “他不好看穿黄色的衣服” not correct?

[AbunPang]

No, 穿黄色的衣服 is the precondition/reason for 不好看, so it has to come first, at least if you’re not using conjunctions (and even then the order reason–consequence/cause–effect/condition–consequence is usually preferred to the opposite).

[nhdaly]

Shouldn't this be 他穿黄色的衣服穿得不好看?
Or is it really okay without the "穿得"?

[kalexchu]

The 得 makes the adjective an adverb, so that would be "he wears yellow clothes not good-lookingly" - which sounds rather strange.

[Rammezonne]

他穿黄衣服不好看works too

[alfie.munding]

I put that too it got marked as wrong though!

他穿黄色的衣服不好看。 Could this be translated to "the yellow clothes he is wearing is not beautiful"? Thanks

[simpingforsoobin]

i would think, but it sounds kind of awkward

[UpuDKZ0z]

How do I know in this sentence the person looks good or the clothes look good

[IriglaWhy]

I think if you would use 的 instead of 穿 (wear) to say 'his clothes' instead of 'him wearing the clothes does not look good'
