I like wearing different clothes. I have got a lot of jeans: black, grey, dark blue, light blue, brown and even red. Generally I prefer skinny jeans, but I have a pair of loose light blue jeans too.
Of course, I have got a lot of skirts too. Most of them are mini-skirts. I have got red and dark blue full skirts, black and grey pencil skirts and a dark blue denim skirt. I have also got a long pink chiffon skirt. It is my favourite one: it looks really smart. I have got several beautiful dresses. In the summer I also wear shorts or breeches.
In the winter I enjoy wearing loose and thick woolen sweaters. My favourite one is light blue with white snowflakes.
I like wearing different shirts. I have got a lot of checked and striped shirts of different colours. I have also got two white shirts. One of them is big and loose; I usually wear it with skinny jeans. The other is quite formal and I often wear it to school. I have got several jumpers, pullovers and polo neck sweaters. I have also got a lot of T-shirts and blouses of different colours.
In the autumn and spring I also wear my light green raincoat or a black leather jacket. In the winter I wear my warm red jacket or a fur coat. I have got several woolen hats, scarves and gloves to wear with my jackets and coats.
Я люблю носить разную одежду. У меня есть много джинсов: черные, серые, темно-синие, светло-синие, коричневые и даже красные. Вообще я предпочитаю узкие джинсы, но у меня также есть широкие светло-голубые джинсы.
Конечно, у меня также много юбок. Большинство из них мини-юбки. У меня есть красная и синяя широкие юбки, черная и серая юбки-карандаш и темно-синяя джинсовая юбка. Также у меня есть длинная розовая шифоновая юбка. Это моя любимая: она выглядит очень нарядно. У меня есть несколько красивых платьев. Летом я также ношу шорты или бриджи.
Зимой мне очень нравится носить большие теплые шерстяные свитера. Мой любимый – светло-голубой с белыми снежинками.
Я люблю носить разные рубашки. У меня есть много клетчатых и полосатых рубашек разных цветов. Также у меня есть две белых рубашки. Одна из них большая и свободная; обычно я ношу ее с узкими джинсами. Другая – достаточно строгая, и я часто надеваю ее в школу. У меня есть несколько кардиганов, пуловеров и водолазок. Кроме того, у меня много футболок и блуз разных цветов.
Осенью и весной я ношу светло-зеленый плащ или черную кожаную куртку. Зимой я ношу теплую красную куртку или шубу. У меня есть несколько шерстяных шапок, шарфов и перчаток, которые я ношу с моими куртками, шубой и плащом.
Clothes and
Fashion
People have various attitudes to fashion. Some are indifferent
and do not care what they wear. Others, mostly women, are very
choosy about what clothes to wear and like to spend a lot of
money on them. Most people buy ready-made clothes at clothes
shops or second-hand shops, but there are those who like to have
their clothes made at the tailor"s. There are some people who
dress to the latest fashion even if it does not suit them. It
seems to be their hobby to follow the fashion magazines and see
what leading designers present.
Fashion concerns not only clothes, but also hair style, makeup
and accessories, such as shoes, handbags, gloves, belts, hats,
scarves or jewellery and glasses. Styles, cuts, designs and
particularly the length of clothes change very quickly because
dressmaking has become big business nowadays. Fashions often
revert to older styles; what is out of fashion, funny or
ridiculous now, may look romantic a few decades later.
The way we dress also depends on our taste, on the season and
the proper occasion. In summer we usually wear light summer
dresses, shorts or Bermuda shorts and various T-shirts. The
usual summer footwear is sandals and flip-flops.
In winter people wear something warm - trousers, jeans,
cardigans and jumpers. People also wear anoraks, winter coats
and jackets, sometimes even fur coats outside.
On special occasions people usually dress up. When going to a
concert or to the theatre, evening dresses and suits are
appropriate. For sports people put on sportswear, such as sports
trousers, jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers.
The most popular types of clothes with teenagers are jeans or
trousers, shirts and T-shirts of different colours, sweatshirts
or pullovers and trainers. Boots and shoes of the "Converse"
shoe company are very popular with the young people now.
As for me, my favourite articles of clothes are jeans, T-shirts
and trainers. At my school pupils must wear a uniform, so I
don"t have a problem with what to put on when I go to school.
When I- go out, I prefer something comfortable like jeans and a
sweatshirt. I try to follow the fashion, but fashionable clothes
are rather expensive and since I haven"t got a job yet, I have
to ask my parents for pocket money. I usually buy clothes at a
market and choose clothes similar to the ones that are in
fashion at the moment. This saves money!
Some people do not choose their clothes to the latest fashion.
They wear what suits them, what is comfortable and what they can
afford.
