These days most people in Britain and the U. S. A. do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is

important to wear the right clothes.

Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they

want to enjoy themselves they can wear almost anything. At theaters cinemas and concerts you can wear

whatever you like. From beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes as long as (只要)

you look clean and tidy.

But in Britain and the U. S. A. men in offices usually wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or

skirts(not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and

restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.

In many ways Americans are less formal than British people but they are more careful with their clothes.

At home or on holidays most Americans wear uniforms or sports clothes. But when they go out in the

evening they like to look nice. But in good hotels and restaurants men have to wear jackets and ties and

women wear pretty clothes.

It’s hard to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the U. S. A. because everyone is different. If you

are not sure what to wear watch first and then do the same. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look

too different from everyone else.
