Francesco Florentini, a famous Italian designer, is going to tell us what will be “in” this winter for women to wear.
The coming winter's fashion emphasizes feminism. To create this image, women have to wear clothing in glowing colours. A green Satin pleated skirt which shows the legs, teamed with a luminous chubby fox coat and a pair of opaque tights would help a woman to get a lot of attention in the coming season. Oh, don't forget the thigh-long boots.
What about men's fashion in the coming winter?
Men in the coming winter should imagine that they are sailors. They should get this look by donning a colourful chunky knitted sweater, a loose green jacket, corduroy trousers and a knitted beanie hat. A pair of tough hiking boots would complete the look.
What is considered not appropriate for fresh graduates to wear in the workplace, Francesco?
think the concept of “casual Fridays” has transcended into “casual every day” to some graduates. These days, some young ladies' clothes are quite revealing and flamboyant. They wear low-cut tops, miniskirts, fishnet tights, backless tops, four-inch pumps to work.
Men should not think that they are rock stars when going to work. They should avoid glittering jacket, vests, tight and metallic trousers, and baggy jeans. Although it is difficult to define what is acceptable and what is not, graduates generally have to be a bit prudish about their attire at the beginning of their career.
Francesco, the Italian designer, is talking about the dress code for a party tonight. Listen to the conversation carefully and answer the following questions by clicking on the appropriate clothing items.
What's the men's dress code for tonight's party at the Mandarin?
Men should appear like military officers. They should look like officers by wearing clothing with big pockets, lots of straps and brass buckles. They could add a futuristic touch by carrying a sling bag.
What about the women's dress code?
Women should dress like urban-warriors. Super-tight leather trousers, body-hugging turtle-neck stretch jackets with metal buttons would finish the thing. Remember to wear polka dot scarves too.
