2 Read the following description about fashion for
this season. Is it for men or women?
3 Read it again and draw the clothes on the model.
This season, the look is North American Indian. Long hair is back! And
not blond like Beckham’s but very dark. Long, straight, black hair is
best.
Trousers are also long. Not tight, trousers are long and baggy.
Tops are also baggy. They are not tucked in. Shirts and trousers are in
natural colours: brown, cream and beige. No blue jeans! No patterns,
everything is plain and natural. Material is natural too – cotton and linen.
And shoes are not so important. In fact, try to not wear shoes – barefoot
is best! And no accessories - but you can wear some feathers in your
hair if you want!
