Model Answer 3:
The type of dress I wear on special occasions mostly depends on the occasion types and the custom of dresses people usually wears on those occasions. However, for the majority of these special occasions, I like to wear formal pants, shirts, suits and formal shoes.
I usually wear it to participate in any meeting, social pragmas like the wedding ceremony, birthday celebration, official a program arranged by a relative. Yes, this is a common dress that many other people wear on those sorts of occasions. But some people wear different dresses as well. The teenagers who attend social programs usually wear jeans and t-shirts but the adults mostly wear this dress.
This dress code is a safe one to wear. First of all this dress matches the weather all around the year in my country. Secondly, this is a dress which is safe to wear as people won’t criticise people who usually wear this dress on special occasions. This dress does not catch much attention and would give an impression that the person is rightly dressed.
Model Answer 4:
Jeans are common clothing items and are available around the world and mostly popular among the youths who are of my age. I wear jeans pant and shirt always even when I attend in any formal occasion. The most important benefit of wearing jeans clothing is that they do not become dirty as easily as the other types of clothes do. Moreover, you can have the pant and shirt of all size and shape and are sold at a reasonable price. They are found in different colours and attractive designs too. It makes the look smarter in some cases than the formal attires.
Usually, the jeans cloth is like all the other available clothes, and produced from jean fabric but it is special in the sense that it lasts longer than the other clothes. Jeans is a bit heavier in weight and thus the attires made with the cloths are of higher quality. Besides, the colours are also attractive and able to get attentions of the surrounding people for the distinguished design. The pants and shirts made with jeans cloths are like usual shirt and pants but you can use them both for formal and informal purposes whereas the other clothes are not suitable to serve the same purpose simultaneously.
I frequently wear the cloths but when I have to attend my university classes, I wear a jeans pant and a polo shirt and when it is about attending any formal gathering or attending any invitation, I prefer a jeans shirt with a jeans pant. But sometimes I have to wear formal clothes to being forced by my parents as they are on the view that I look smarter with the formal attires. But I feel more confident being casual with my jeans clothing. But during the presentation days at my university, I have to be formal as the teachers do not allow students presenting their assigned presentations in informal attires. Except the issues of my parents and university functions, I always wear jeans and feel comfy in wearing jeans and light polo or t-shirts.
I prefer jeans for a good number of reasons. First of all, I am comfortable with jeans as it allows air circulation through the body. But the skinny jeans actually do not allow so and I also do not prefer those. Besides, jeans clothing is found in a variety of styles and designs which is not available for the formal clothing. Jeans is found in a ready-made state and you do not need to place an order to a tailoring shop to make you attires with jean fabric. When I put on a jeans pant with a polo shirt, I look dashing and feel confidence inside.

Examiner: What kind of things determine what is in fashion and what we should be wearing?
