Clothes - II

Sometimes when we want to describe a person we we also tell what he is dressed in. So we need to learn some new vocabulary.

Dress we wear can be modern, old-fashioned; it helps us to have our own style. We can look awful or funny or to have a tendy outfit. One needs a designer look, other wants a biker or a cowboy look.

Tastes differ of course!
