Usage notes
- For clothing, taglia is standard; misura is more technical or generic. Ask Che taglia porti? not usually Che misura porti?
- With clothes, use a feminine article: una taglia 42, la tua taglia. Sizes themselves often stay as numbers.
- For a criminal reward, taglia appears mainly in fixed phrases like mettere una taglia su qualcuno; it sounds formal or old-fashioned.
