Seasons and clothes

There are four seasons in the year. Each of them brings different weather and different outfits. When it is hot and sunny in summer, people wear T-shirts and shorts, light blouses and skirts, trainers, socks and sandals. In cold weather people usually put on warm clothes: jeans and trousers, sweaters and jackets, coats and caps. In winter, when it’s freezing cold and snowy, they wear fur coats and fur caps, high boots and mittens or gloves. In autumn and spring, it may be rainy, windy and chilly. Here comes the time of wellingtons and umbrellas.

The proverb says: everything is good in its season. When you think what to wear, choose the right outfit. Think what is good at the sports ground and what is good at the party. Fortunately, there are a lot of shops and malls, so it isn’t hard to find appropriate item. You can also visit flea markets or second-hand shops to see some antique accessories and clothes at bargain prices!

  When you buy something, try it on, make sure that it is your size, that it suits you well and that you like its colour. There are fitting rooms in every shop, where you can do it.

We wear different clothes for different occasions. I usually wear ____________ and __________________ at school. For a party I choose ___________________ and _____________.

Don’t forget that there is no bad weather, there are bad clothes.
