Exercise 6

Stylish or not?
What do you think?

She's very trendy. She's wearing a hat on her head, sunglasses and she's got a big scarf round herneck. It's difficult to see what kind of top she's wearing under her leather coat - is it a thin jacket? I don't think it's a T-shirt. She's wearing very close-fitting trousers s -I think they are black jeans. On her feet... are they shoes or trainers ? It's difficult to say for sure. They aren't boots. They're too small.
She looks cool-and she knows it!
8/10

He looks good. He's wearing a dark suit. It isn't too tight or too loose. The jacket and trousers fit him well. He's wearing a white shirt and a dark tie. His shoes are black. We can't see his socks -I’m sure they are dark.
He is stylish and smart.
