Clothes for special occasions

Clothes for special occasions

On special occasions we like to be dressed properly too. When w ego to a concert or to the theatre we prefer to be dressed up. We  wear an evening dress, which consists of a dark suit, a light shirt and a tie or a bowtie, sometimes a dinner jacket, an evening gown, court shoes and pumps. For sports we put on sports wear, sucha s jeans , shorts, T-shirts, blazers, parkas , track suits and to the mountains a waterproof jacket or anorak and sports shoes , heavy boots or skishoes.

At home we like to feel comfortable, and so we prefer leisure wear – slacks, jeans and T-shirts and on our feet slippers or mules. To school we wear something practical and plain. The most favourite wear of teenagers include jeans or trousers, shirts and E-shirts of different colours, sweatshirts or pullovers and trainers.

For workshop or cleaning jobs we must put on an apron, overall or overalls. Special kinds of clothes are uniforms and costumes. Uniforms are worn particularly by professionals sucha s the police, the armed forces, health workers, sometimes workers of a certain firm. It  is still a tradition in some schools in Britain (mostly private ones ) to wear a school uniform. The argument for uniforms is that they prevent competition among the girls and hide differences in family incomes. Costumes on the other hand reflect the style of a past time. Apart from the theatre they are not seen very often, only on special occasions.
