Clothing

In the morning when I wake up, I wash and get dressed. According to the temperature, I choose what to put on. I like to wear a T-shirt and jeans. If it’s colder outside I wear a sweater. In winter I wear a winter coat. In summer I like to wear light shorts or a light cotton dress. As for shoes I prefer sandals, in winter I put on boots. If I go to the theatre or a ball I wear a dress and dress shoes.

There is a Czech proverb „Clothes make the man“ But men are more conservative. They need some vests, pants, slippers, socks, several pairs of trousers, some suits and jackets, shirts, pullovers, sweaters, an anorak, a winter coat, a rain coat, gloves, and scarves. The only decorative item is a tie or bow tie. It should match the shirt as well as the suit. Lots of men prefer buying ready made clothes because they are much cheaper. Young people these days are most comfortable in jeans and a loose jacket.

Women wear a dress or a blouse and a skirt, a pair of stockings or tights and shoes. In winter they wear a winter coat, an anorak, fur coat, fur cap, gloves and boots. Women going to a concert or the theatre wear an evening dress, of course with some jewelry e.g. a necklace, a bracelet, earrings or rings made of gold or silver. Ladies carry a handbag in which can be found a handkerchief, a mirror, a lipstick, a coin purse, keys, a driver’s license or perhaps some photos.
