    These days,most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal(正式) clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the rightthings.

    Many Britishpeople don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable.When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. Attheatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from beautifulsuits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you lookclean and tidy.

    But inBritain, as well as the US, men in office usually wear suits and ties, andwomen wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people alwayswear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wearties and women tidy dresses.

   In any ways,Americans are less formal than Britain people, but they are more careful withtheir clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sportyclothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In goodhotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wearpretty clothes.

   It is difficult tosay exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone isdifferent. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do andfollow suit. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different fromothers.
