Vestir means ‘to dress, to wear’ and vestirse means ‘to dress (oneself), to get dressed’. Vestirse is the reflexive form of vestir, so it always takes a reflexive pronoun – me, te, se, nos, os or se – that matches the subject. The verb itself is conjugated the same way: in the present tense, yo visto becomes me visto. In the affirmative tú imperative the pronoun attaches to the end of the verb, so viste becomes vístete.
