Clothes and Fashion
People have various attitudes to fashion. Some are indifferent and do not care what they wear. Others, mostly women, are very choosy about what clothes to wear and like to spend a lot of money on them. Most people buy ready-made clothes at clothes shops or second-hand shops, but there are those who like to have their clothes made at the tailor's. There are some people who dress to the latest fashion even if it does not suit them. It seems to be their hobby to follow the fashion magazines and see what leading designers present.
Fashion concerns not only clothes, but also hair style, makeup and accessories, such as shoes, handbags, gloves, belts, hats, scarves or jewellery and glasses. Styles, cuts, designs and particularly the length of clothes change very quickly because dressmaking has become big business nowadays. Fashions often revert to older styles; what is out of fashion, funny or ridiculous now, may look romantic a few decades later.
The way we dress also depends on our taste, on the season and the proper occasion. In summer we usually wear light summer dresses, shorts or Bermuda shorts and various T-shirts. The usual summer footwear is sandals and flip-flops.
In winter people wear something warm - trousers, jeans, cardigans and jumpers. People also wear anoraks, winter coats and jackets, sometimes even fur coats outside.
On special occasions people usually dress up. When going to a concert or to the theatre, evening dresses and suits are appropriate. For sports people put on sportswear, such as sports trousers, jeans, shorts, T-shirts and trainers.
The most popular types of clothes with teenagers are jeans or trousers, shirts and T-shirts of different colours, sweatshirts or pullovers and trainers. Boots and shoes of the "Converse" shoe company are very popular with the young people now.
As for me, my favourite articles of clothes are jeans, T-shirts and trainers. At my school pupils must wear a uniform, so I don't have a problem with what to put on when I go to school. When I- go out, I prefer something comfortable like jeans and a sweatshirt. I try to follow the fashion, but fashionable clothes are rather expensive and since I haven't got a job yet, I have to ask my parents for pocket money. I usually buy clothes at a market and choose clothes similar to the ones that are in fashion at the moment. This saves money!
Some people do not choose their clothes to the latest fashion. They wear what suits them, what is comfortable and what they can afford.

Hi Bob, forgive me for not writing for a long time, there was no time. In this letter I want to tell you about the Russian winter. You probably have never seen such a winter and you have no idea what it is! I love winter because some things can only be done in winter, for example skiing or ice skating make snowmen and play snowballs. And when the snow has passed, the trees are covered with a snow blanket and it becomes very beautiful. Winters in our region are very cold, so when you go outside you need to dress very warmly.
Well, I must finish now,
