Dress code

Task 1 – Describing clothes

Your teacher is going to show you some pictures of people. Make a note of any new vocabulary you need
to describe the people here:

Task 2 – Dress code UK: True or false?

Read the sentences about Britain and decide if they are true or false.

• Most British students don’t wear school uniform.

• A shopping centre in the UK banned hoods and baseball caps.

• Some schools specify the length of hair and the styles that are allowed.

• You can wear any types of shoe with a school uniform.

Task 3 – Message board: Have your say

Do you think it’s fair to ban young people wearing hoods and baseball caps from shopping centres?

Aisha, age 12, London.

“I think it’s stupid to ban hoods and caps. People should be allowed to wear what they want. Clothes are
part of your personality.”

Lily, age 13, Leicester.

“I agree with this ban completely. Where I live there is a lot of crime and gangs wearing hoods and caps
are really scary. If I am on my own and have to walk past a group of hoodies I get scared.”
Jade, 15, Penarth

“There are so many rules against teenagers. I think adults should let us have some freedom to choose
what we wear and what we do. There’s nothing wrong with hoods and caps, it’s just the fashion at the
moment.”
Charlie, age 14, Yorkshire.

“My friends and I get scared when we see gangs of hoodies in the street. Also if they do commit crime it’s
hard to catch them on the CCTV because you can’t see their faces. I think they should be banned.”

Katie, age 16, Glasgow.

“Just because you wear a hood or a cap doesn’t mean you’re a criminal. Adults don’t understand
teenagers. Don’t the police have more important things to do than look for people who are wearing
hoods? Respect for us teenagers, please!”

• Who do you agree with?


• Do you think the rule is a good idea? Why/ not?
• Are there any rules like this in your country?

Task 4 – Dress code: What to wear where?

What do you think you should wear on these occasions? How formally do you think you should dress?
Talk to your group and decide on what to wear to each event.

A friend’s party A job interview Shopping with friends

A relative’s wedding The theatre A prize giving

Task 5 – Role play

Work in pairs. Read the information for your role and then have the conversation with your partner.

A - Shopping centre manager: You are the manager of a shopping centre. You have problems with groups
of young people wearing hoods. You believe they are a security problem and they scare some of your
customers. You have decided to ban hoods from the centre. You find a group of hoodies in the centre and
go to talk to them and explain why they are not allowed in the shopping centre. Good luck!

B - Hoodie: You and your friends go to the shopping centre in your favourite clothes, all wearing hooded
tops. You believe that everyone has the right to wear what they want. You have never caused trouble, you
just like the fashion of hoodies. You meet the manager!
