How to Say "clad" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “clad” is “vestido” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Match the Ending
When used to describe someone, 'vestido' must change its ending to match who you're talking about. Use 'vestido' for a male, 'vestida' for a female, 'vestidos' for a group of males or a mixed group, and 'vestidas' for a group of females.
Always Use with 'Estar'
To say someone 'is dressed', you always use the verb 'estar' (e.g., 'él está vestido'). This is because being dressed is a state or condition, which is what 'estar' is for.
Forgetting to Change the Ending
Mistake: “La mujer está bien vestido.”
Correction: La mujer está bien vestida. The ending needs to change to '-a' to match 'la mujer', which is feminine.
