Fashion is the style of dress or behaviour popular at a certain
time. Fashion is important, it represents a person’s style and his/her own way of life. Each person has his own style and taste – people wear
clothes according to their taste, mood and their character => they want to look good.
1. Men’s and women’s
fasion
- Women’s fashion has always been different from the men’s fashion => women wear skirts, make-up,
high-heel shoes.
- Women usually pay more attention to fashion than men do. Their wardrobe is different from the
men’s wardrobe – they like shopping for clothes more then men do.
- Women often buy fashion magazines and they like fashion shows
/módne prehliadky/ => they pay attention to the changes in the style, patterns, colours of the seasons and they change their wardrobe
according to these changes – women want to be like famous models – for example Claudia Schiffer, C. Crafford, A. Sklenaříková and so on.
- There is a difference between the fashion nowadays and the fashion in the past => in the past women couldn’t wear
trousers. They had to wear stiff corsets and long skirts which was very uncomfortable. They always wore long hair. Men used to wear a hat, a suit
and moustaches were popular. Women’s skirts and dresses became shorter in the 20’s and nowadays women’s fashion is similar to men’s fashion
– women wear trousers, ties nowadays.
- Hairstyle - women more often dye and bleach their hair.
- Women
like shopping for clothes more than men do => they like window-shopping /pozeranie výkladov/ - they like to admire
clothes and new models in the shop’s windows without buying them.

3. My attitude to
fashion
People have different attitudes to fashion. For some people fashion is very important and a very necessary part of
their life. People want to dress nicely, they like expensive clothes and accessories.
Young people like casual wear and sports wear because it
is comfortable and practical. Many young people like to shop in brand name shops – for example NIKE, ADIDAS, KENVELO and so on. Some people like
bright colours, others prefer dark colours, but the coulours should be always well-combined. Hairstyle and accessories are also important – for
example a mobile phone, a bag /handbag/ and so on.
I like to wear ………………….. /bright colurs, dark colours…/ My
favourite colour is………. I prefer sports wear and when I have money, I buy my clothes from brand name shops. My favourite shoes are my trainers
because I like sport and I often play football. I wear a suit and tie only when I must – for example ………………. /for a family celebrations
– weddings, christenings …, on the day of the school-leaving examination/.
4. Weather and
fashion
Geography and climate influence the fashion a lot.
In summer people wear light summer dresses,
loose blouses, shorts, T-shirts and sandals on their feet. When we go swimming, we put on a swim suit (swimming costume). Women can wear bikini and
men can wear swimming trunks. People usually sunbathe - they want to have a nice suntan because they want to look good in short clothes and dresses.
They wear straw hats on their heads. In summer people wear less clothes and use lighter materials, brighter colours (yellow, orange, white…) and
many different patterns.
In winter – on the other hand, in winter we need to wear something warm to protect ourselves
against the cold weather. We go skiing, snowboarding and so we wear anoraks, winter and fur coats, jackets, gloves, scarves, hats and caps. On our
feet we usually put boots. People usually wear darker colours because the weather is bad – the snow at the roads melts and therefore they don’t
wear bright-coloured clothes because they would become dirty.
