Grammar Notes & Usage Tips

Use を after the clothing item you're taking off — for example, 「くつを脱ぐ」 means "take off (your) shoes."
Don’t use 脱ぐ for accessories like glasses or rings — it’s only for things like clothes, shoes, or hats.
Remember that 脱ぐ is for removing things from yourself — don’t use it when talking about taking off someone else’s clothes (use 脱がせる instead).
