Describe a person who you think wears unusual clothes
CUE CARD
You should say:
Who this person is
What his/her clothes are like
And explain why you think his/her clothes are unusual
ANSWER
(Who this person is)
People around the world wear different sorts of clothes on special occasions and due to geographical location and seasonal changes, the attires vary. Most often, I would dress casually, except at social events which require a higher level of formality, where suits and formal shoes would be indispensable items for my overall appearance. And if you ask me to think of a person whose choices of clothes are quite peculiar, the name of Josh, my close friend, springs to mind.
What kind of clothes does he/she wear?
Well, I find his taste of fashion somewhat bizarre because he doesn’t follow the usual clothing norms. For example, once I saw him wearing sandals with formals, or in a red or pink suit which was to the amazement of his colleagues. When being asked by colleagues about his unique and sometimes girlish style, he expressed that he just wears things according to his own will.
And explain why you think his/her clothes are unusual
According to John, his mother is a fashion designer, so he has been exposed to unconventional styles of clothing and clothing brands since he was young. Therefore, he likes to experiment with clothes and never fails to keep up with the latest fashions. The reason why I consider his clothing unusual is because most often, men approach their dress with a casual, simple style with dark and neutral colors.
However, John goes against the established rules, with complete confidence and energy. Despite all, he has an excellent physique and ideal height, so he frequently receives commendation for his fashionista image. Every time I see his clothes, I feel like I wouldn’t wear them, but I also feel that he is looking good, if not captivating in them.
