Speaker 1: Up until a few years ago, I never wore dresses and skins. I hated them, and felt much more comfortable in trousers - usually jeans, to be honest. Now, though -I suppose it’s since I started my new job  -I actually wear skirts quite often and I must say I really like them! I think they suit me, and they’re a lot cooler than trousers in the summer!

Speaker 2: Yeah, I do follow fashion a bit and I’d never wear something that I thought was really out of fashion. I mean, if you do that, you just end up looking stupid, and I certainly want people to think I’m well dressed. Other people judge you by what you wear, don’t they, so I try to keep up with the latest changes.

Speaker 3: If I know I’m going to be at home all day, I’ll just put on an old pair of jeans and a T-shirt, but I’d never wear something like that to work - or if I was going out in the evening. You’ve got to think what’s suitable for what you’re going to do, haven’t you? You wouldn’t wear a swimming costume to a wedding!

Speaker 4: Well, I hate shopping for clothes -I can’t stand it - so most of my clothes are a few years old, at least! When I get up,I just put on the first thing I find that’s clean. I don’t really think about how fashionable it is or what it looks like on me. I’m just not that interested in my appearance, really.

Speaker 5: What you wear can really affect how you feel about yourself, so I am a bit careful, yes. For example, if you’ve got an important job interview or something like that, you’ve got to wear something that’s smart obviously, but more importantly,you’ve got to wear something you feel good in. You don’t want to be sitting there thinking: ‘This jacket doesn’t fit me properly.’
