FINAL TEST
I.
These days, most people in Britain and the USA do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people dont think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can wear what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Everything is good, if you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as in the USA, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and businessmen wear very formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. Jeans and open shirts sometimes are not allowed.
In many ways, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sport clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear ties and jackets, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and in the States, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do, and then do the same. Or ask advice of a friend. Youll feel more relaxed if you dont look too different from everyone else.
