Clothes for different seasons

The type of clothes depends mainly upon the weather conditions.

During summer, we wear white or

light-coloured clothes made of cotton.
Cotton clothes have pores, so they
soak the sweat easily and keep the

body cool.

During winter, we wear woollen
clothes. Woollen clothes do not allow
our body heat to escape out and keep We wear cotton We wear woollen We wear raincoat

During rains, we wear raincoats. Raincoats are made of synthetic cloth which do
not have pores. Thus, raincoats do not allow rainwater to reach our body. Thus,

we do not get wet.

Clothes for different occasions

on all occasions. The school uniform,
sportswear and party-wear are dresses
for different occasions. They are designed

differently according to the need. School uniform Track suit Party wear

lawyer by his black cloak. Policemen, soldiers and postmen can also be identified
by their uniforms.
