Thanks for your useful lesson! Here are my examples: 1. I do not like wearing flashy clothes, especially fruit-print cotton tops. 2. I really like trying on plain denim skirts because they make me look younger and slimmer. 3. I really love wearing floral-print dresses at Zara. Actually, I prefer casual clothes. A pair of jeans and a white t-shirt would be a good choice for me when hanging out with a group of friends or going for a walk. However, I often dress up on special and important occasions such as wedding anniversaries, formal parties, and so on. There are many places in Ho Chi Minh City where you can shop for clothes. Ho Chi Minh City is a shopping paradise. There are some famous shopping streets where you can find some of your favorite items of clothing at an affordable price. Besides, tourists can go to high-end department stores to seek for fashionable items or designer clothes if they are interested in.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thank you for telling us about shopping in Vietnam, Vy Ngo. Here are some tips: 1) '...to look for fashionable items,' not, 'seek for'. 2) '...or designer clothes if they are interested in those,' not, 'interested in'. Hope this helps you!

I love casual clothes as they are comfy. They also suit my personality as I am an introvert and like chill at home. They suit me in every way.

[@Yawnbear]

I really like trying on check shirts, especially cotton checked shirts. It makes me look younger and smart. I have long arms, so I need to put on some clothes to find out good one. If it fits well, usually sleeves are long enough for me. So when I make an order online, I often return it for a refund

[@Elizabeth071990]

Thank you for a very detailed lesson. The phrases are easy go use in practice. Here is the answer about my personal style. As a teacher I prefer formal style of clothes at work. During the first year of work I used to wear suit jackets with shirts but I was told it was too old-fashioned. Then I changed my style and now I wear blouses, cardigans, trousers, shirts and dresses at work. Most of my clothes are plain. I wear smart clothes at special events like a birthday or a New Year party. To tell the truth, I find smart clothes very uncomfortable, especially high heels. It's a kind of art to walk in such shoes. In everyday life my style is casual. I wear pullovers, jeans, dresses, trainers or comfortable shoes. It's convenient and allows me to maintain a fast pace of life. I prefer buying clothes at real shops because I see the sizes and the material at once and because I like shopping with my friends and discussing how the clothes fit.

I like basic and minimal clothes because they suit all situations. They are also easy to match other clothes. These are neutral colors such as beige, white, black, so on. Honestly, I rarely go shopping, I prefer choosing to buy second-hand clothes, so I don't have any places to suggest to you. When I truly need some new clothes, I will order ones from some second-hand shops on Instagram or Facebook. It's just a small thing but can help protect our environment. Thanks for your lesson.

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Thanks for sharing your response about clothes, Hong! Here is one correction for you: 'They are also easy to match with other clothes,' or, 'They also easily match other clothes,' not, 'They are also easy to match other clothes'. Hope this helps you!

Thank you very much for these videos. They're far more instructional than some dull classes I've attended. Now, I've got a question concerning the adjectives order: you say you should describe the pattern and then the material as in: a striped cotton top or a plain denim shirt. What if you want to add color to that? Would it be color, pattern and material? or pattern, color and material? Thanks for your answer beforehand!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Hi Diego. Thank you for watching and we're so glad you enjoyed the lesson. We have a lesson to help with your question regarding adjective order. You can watch it here: www.oxfordonlineenglish.com/adjective-order-in-english.

I like to buy clothes from western culture .it is the one of if the famous shop in my hometown .there are variety of clothes are available with reasonable price .

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Great! Thanks for sharing your response. Here are some corrections for you: 1) It may be a bit better to write: 'I like to buy clothes from the Western culture,' instead of, 'I like to buy clothes from western culture.' 2) 'It is one of the well-known shops in my hometown,' not, 'it is the one of if the famous shop in my hometown.' 3) 'There are a variety of clothes available at a reasonable price,' not, 'there are variety of clothes are available with reasonable price.' Hope this helps you!

[@srimathivenkatraman5830]

In winter season, I used to wear one striped line blue sweater.finally, I chose one checked cotton shirt for my bro. I think so he'll like it.for my wedding I prefer to wear kind of multi colour work sarees.usually we would like to purchase our clothes from erode market

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Great, Srimathi! Here are a few suggestions for you: 1) It's not necessary to say 'season' after 'winter'. 'In winter...'. is fine. 2) '...I usually wear one striped...' not, 'used to'. 3) 'Usually we like to purchase our clothes from Erode Market,' not, 'usually we would like to purchase our clothes from erode market'. Hope this is useful for you!

[@Oxfordonlineenglish1]

Good, Rene. Here are some corrections for you: 1) 'Both of you look fancy,' not, 'looks'. 2) '...wore a plain gray shirt,' not, 'a gray shirt plain'. 3) '...have two scarves for you,' not, 'tow scarf'. Hope this is useful for you!

[@anilbishtanil866]

I like casual clothings usually plain and sober colours. Sometimes I like to wear striped T shirts and maybe check shirts but I never wear florals. Online shopping is very irritating ;I don't find it a good way of shopping. I think shopping from a brand is better, at least you're sure about the quality.
