Task 20. Read the text and fill in the table

Task 19. Label the picture.

People love dressing themselves; many of us express ourselves in clothing and accessories. Usually we divide clothes into smart/official (formal) and casual (informal), but there are many more variations — smart-casual clothes (informal but stylish), trendy, girly, tomboy, gothic, athletic, vintage, modern, fashionable, conservative, grunge and dressy.

Clothes can be described as clingy (fitting in the way that shows the shape of the body), skimpy (close-fitting, using little material), baggy (loose) or snazzy (modern, stylish).

Some people always dress to kill (to attract other people’s attention) and buy designer labels, others prefer to buy cheaper clothes off the peck/rack or on the high street. People, who dress on the height of fashion, like to wear up-to-the-minute fashion articles and set the trend for their friends. Sometimes they may be ahead of their time or become slaves of/to fashion — if a woman is fashion-crazy, she is called fashionista.

Different places have different attitude to clothes too. Big offices often require dress codes, when people may only dress down on Sunday, other businesses can tolerate people dressed informally or casually.
