Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes
it is important to wear the right thing.
Many British people 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. At theatres, cinemas and concerts
you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as

long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear
dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And
in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses.
In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful witn
their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they
go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear
jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear informal or formal in Britain and the US, because
everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the
same. You'll feel more relaxed if you don't look too different from everyone else.
