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.
