雅思口語:your favorite piece of clothing(小西裝)

　　點擊查看>>>>近期雅思口語高頻話題

　　做學生做到某個階段，就會發現身邊的小夥伴們開始買起了「正裝」，有招聘會的時候，滿宿舍走廊更是黑壓壓的一片。不光是求職的時候需要穿得很formal哇，什麼辯論會啊，學生會活動啊，或者模擬聯合國啥的，都不能穿一身T恤牛仔就上了。所以對於My favorite piece of clothing這麼一件人手必備的物件，應該不算難描述吧：

　　My favorite piece of clothing is a casual suit I got online.

　　It’s well designed and it’s quite unique, I mean, the right and left sides are not even, with different patterns and colors. The right side of the suit is made of striped fabric in grey and white, and the left side is pure blue. And it’s just long enough to cover my hips, and the sleeves are this long, to my elbow.

　　I look pretty good in that suit, I mean, it really brings out/shows off my figure, I look thinner and taller. Plus, blue is really my color, it makes my complexion much brighter.

　　Um… the fabric is quite soft, but not sloppy. So it’s super comfortable to wear, and it breathes well, I could wear it in summer without feeling hot. Actually, I could wear this suit in three seasons, I mean, in the rainy days during summer, I could just throw it on, 『cause the jacket matches most of my dresses. In spring and autumn when the temperature difference is pretty huge between the daytime and evening, I usually wear this to keep warm.

　　And there are different ways to wear it. I could button it up, to make it more formal, or I could just wear it like a cape, which looks pretty fashionable.

　　Besides, it’s suitable on various occasions, when I go out in this suit, I could wear high heels, and I also won’t look weird in sneakers.

　　The best part is, I got it at a super reasonable price. Such a versatile suit only cost me less than 200 RMB. So you see, it’s quite economical.
