get started with the vocabulary lesson
today i’ve got a slightly longer video lesson
for you we’re going to be talking about
vocabulary and more specifically how to describe
people’s appearances now this is a really really
important topic it’s normally one of the first
things that you learn when you start to learn
english but i want to go a bit more in depth
normally people are able to describe basic
appearances i want to teach you slightly more
advanced vocabulary so that you can really give
an accurate description of people’s appearances
if you find understanding me slightly difficult
you can switch on subtitles and so you’ll be able
to see the words at the bottom of the screen so
firstly we’re going to talk about people’s bodies
and i think i’m going to start by talking about
height how tall somebody is so you might already
know these basic terms short and tall short and
tall but what about if somebody is a normal
height well there are a couple of ways that
you can express this you can say they are of
average height they are of medium height if
you want to be more precise and say their actual
height in centimeters or feet and inches you can
say around so i would say i am around five foot
six i’m actually at five foot five and a half but
sometimes i say i’m five foot six um other words
that you can include are very or quite so he is
very tall or she is quite short next we have body
type and weight now you have to be a little bit
careful when describing somebody’s body type
or their weight because you can hurt their
feelings so firstly i’m going to give you some
positive adjectives to describe somebody’s weight
and then afterwards i’ll give you the
more negative ones so that you can
understand when or when not to use them but i
will warn you weight in the uk especially and
many other places in the world is a very sensitive
subject so if you think you might insult somebody
it’s often best not to say anything at all um but
that’s not my role here i’m teaching you words
so let’s get started so we have thin and fat these
are generally considered to be negative words
so let’s talk about some positive alternatives
for thin you can describe somebody as slender
or slim they are really nice words if somebody
called me slender or slim i’d be flattered another
word is lean and this means that they’re
just skin and muscle it’s a positive word
because it means they’re in shape they’re
muscly there’s no fat on them they’re lean
you can also call somebody petite and this is
when somebody has a small build it’s normally
used to describe females who have small shoulders
they’re quite short they’re just like a woman only
smaller they’re petite if somebody is very thin
you can call them slight they’re very slight and
another one is lanky this means that somebody is
tall and very thin it means they’ve got long limbs
lanky if somebody has got a bit of meat on them
you don’t want to call them fat but some nice
words you can use are curvy this means that woman
has curves curvaceous as well womanly voluptuous
this means normally that they’ve got quite a big
bum and big boobs they’re normally flattering
when used in a non-creepy way for a man stocky
well-built musty okay now to touch on the negative
words some quite soft ones for somebody who is
larger are plump chubby round this doesn’t mean
fat or big it just means that they’ve got a little
bit extra on them you can also say overweight
large big heavy and if somebody is very thin you
can call them underweight skinny bony if you can
see their bones one word that’s often used to
describe very thin people that shouldn’t really
be used is anorexic it’s a medical term it’s
not actually an adjective to describe somebody’s
physical appearance so try to avoid that one
okay let’s move on to hair now there are two
ways in which you can talk about somebody’s hair
color you can say to have adjective hair or to be
adjective dash head for example i have blonde hair
i am blonde haired the second one’s a bit of a
mouthful actually to be blonde haired i am blonde
head you can also just say i am blonde but that’s
better to use for colors that are very specific
to hair colors like blonde and ginger and brunette
so i am blonde i am ginger i am brunette that’s
fine but if you say i am white or i am black
it could be confused with skin color so it’s
best to say i am black haired i have white hair
so we’ve got a huge spectrum of colors that
you can be i’m going to talk about the most
common ones but they are quite specific and
you might not have heard of them all before
so let’s start with the lightest and move to
the darkest so we have white then we have gray
then we have platinum blonde and this is white
blonde hair it’s normally not a natural color
but some people are lucky enough to have
naturally white blonde or platinum hair it’s
a really interesting color then we have blonde
if it’s a bit darker it could be called golden
and then if it’s a bit darker than blonde there
are two ways you can describe it if it’s blonde
almost brown you can say dirty blonde if it’s
blonde almost ginger you can say strawberry blonde
then we have ginger which is more orange and red
which is like a darker red color obviously after
that you have mousey brown which is a light brown
color then brown then brunette as well which is
another way of saying brown hair it’s normally a
bit darker then dark brown and then black now if
you don’t want to specify a color of hair or skin
or eyes and you just want to say light or dark you
can say fair for light or dark for the darker
colors so i am fair i have fair eyes fair hair
and fair skin this means i’m just light somebody
else might have dark hair dark eyes dark skin
so we normally use fair or dark so what
about hair length well if you have no hair
then you are bald i am bald in a video that i did
on ali’s channel papa teach me english i was bald
if you would like to see me with no hair and well
no feminine makeup different makeup then you can
click up there see if you recognize me i look
slightly different um then you have short hair
long hair but then in between you can have a
bob i have a bob haircut in my first videos
i had very short hair and a bob haircut i
didn’t ask for that haircut it was a surprise
shoulder length hair medium length hair long
hair if you want to say how long your hair is you
can say my hair goes down to my so my hair goes
down to my armpit my hair goes down to my waist
as far as hair texture you can have
straight hair wavy hair curly hair
afro hair which is really really dense curls
the quality of your hair can also be described
if your hair is very soft it can be silky or shiny
if it’s not soft if it’s quite damaged you can say
you have dry hair or you can say it’s straw like
so let’s move on to the subject of skin this again
is a more difficult one so we have the spectrum
of white and black but different people like to
be called different things so i would call myself
white i have a lot of friends with darker skin
who are often called black but they would actually
prefer to be called brown um i would say when in
doubt use fair or dark to describe somebody’s skin
tone now in the middle we have tanned and this
means that you’ve been blessed by the sun you’ve
caught a suntan you’ve gone brown in the sun
and in british english we say tanned and in
american english they say tan if you’re not tanned
then you are pale and that is what i am all of the
time i am always pale even when i go on holiday
now let’s move on to eye color again you
can use fair or dark fair eyes light eyes
dark eyes so you can say to have adjective eyes or
to be adjective dash eyed so i have gray eyes i am
gray eyed i am dark eyed most of the
colors are pretty simple blue brown green
black gray brown i’ve said brown haven’t i
but one color that’s used quite frequently is
hazel if you have a sort of brownie green eye
it can be called hazel so they have hazel eyes
now lips you can have thin lips but if
you want to talk about somebody with
big lips you can say they have full lips
so if somebody has big kissy pouty lips you
can say they have very full lips if somebody has
really sticky out lips that and speaks like this
you can call them pouty lips but yes full or
thin really next you can talk about noses so
big or small obviously are the basics if somebody
has a bend in their nose it can be called a
crooked nose a crooked nose if they haven’t got
a bend in their nose it can be a straight nose
if somebody has a small nose you can call it a
button nose if they’ve got a hook a hooked nose
if somebody’s nose is like this it’s a
turned up nose or an upturned nose face shape
i looked online and apparently there are nine
different face shapes but we’re going to talk
about four today you have oval round heart shaped
which ends in a point and square somebody has a
square jaw what about general appearance i
did do a video with anna from english like a
native about compliments and we discussed some
of the ways in which you can complement people
so that’s the positive adjectives i will cover
them in this lesson but if you’d like to see that
you can click up there but it’s quite
good to separate them into male and female
because one adjective that might be really really
flattering and positive for a male might actually
be quite insulting for a female adjectives that
can be used for both the positive ones attractive
beautiful stunning which means somebody is
just amazingly beautiful but then just for men
there’s handsome and just for women there is
pretty now if you described a woman as handsome
you might be insinuating that she has manly
features um in the same way that if you described
a woman in the same way that if you described a
man as pretty you might be saying he has quite
feminine features which is not always something
that somebody wants negative ones you can have
ugly or plain other ways of describing people
you can describe them as masculine or feminine
boyish manly girly womanly right your homework is
to describe yourself in as much detail as possible
put it in the comments and i can’t wait to see
your descriptions also if you can add any more
vocabulary then definitely include that in your
description as well today i’m going to talk to you
about how to describe the weather in english we’re
going to start off quite basic and move up to more
advanced vocabulary i’m going to guide you through
seasonal weather hot weather cold weather wet
weather windy weather and i’m going to give you
verbs nouns adjectives and idiomatic expressions
idioms we’re also going to do a little bit of
basic grammar at the beginning but very very
easy don’t worry you may know that british people
are famous for always talking about the weather
and this is because we are lucky enough to have
four strong seasons winter which is really cold
spring which is sunny and wet at the same time
summer which is normally hot and sunny and autumn
which is colder and with lots of wind and when all
the trees lose their leaves i’m going to talk to
you today about different weather vocabulary that
you can find in each of the four seasons but first
let’s discuss how to talk about the weather
from a grammar point of view this grammar is
fairly basic so if you’re looking for advanced
vocabulary click to the time shown on screen
if you want to use an adjective for example warm
you could say the weather is warm the weather is
adjective you could also say it is warm it
is adjective but it only really makes sense
if the adjective is related to the weather if you
say it is good i might wonder what what’s good but
if you say it is warm i know that you’re talking
about the weather you can also say it’s a warm
day it’s a adjective day but what if you want
to use a verb for example rain the verb to rain
you would say it is raining it is verb plus ing
that’s if you want to talk about the weather
right now if you want to talk about yesterday
or the past you would say yesterday it rained
yesterday it verb plus ed apart from the
irregular verbs which have their own conjugation
if you want to talk about tomorrow or the
future you can say it will rain tomorrow it will
verb tomorrow or it’s going to rain tomorrow it’s
going to verb tomorrow if you want to talk about
a noun you would say there is there was or there
will be that’s present past future plus the noun
there is a storm there was a storm there will
be a storm right so now that’s out of the way
first let’s talk about winter the month that
i am in now in england i’m going to start off
with adjectives and i warn you there are a lot of
adjectives associated with winter you can say cold
cold bitter bitter that’s very very cold it’s
just a step further than cold you could even
put them together and say it’s bitterly cold
it’s bitterly cold you can say it’s chilly which
is slightly cold or chilling that’s a little bit
more crisp crisp normally means it’s cold and dry
or maybe it’s icy icy you can say it’s freezing or
it’s frosty you can also say it is severe or it is
wintry that means it’s a very wintry day it feels
like winter and it is winter if it’s winter and
the weather conditions are very bad the skies are
gray you can say it’s gloomy or it’s bleak or if
there’s a lot of very aggressive weather you can
say it’s harsh we often talk about a harsh winter
now let’s talk about some verbs you can say to
snow which is obviously white fluffy stuff falling
from the sky to sleet sleet is partly frozen
rain so it’s like very wet snow or very very cold
almost frozen rain it’s normally very unpleasant
if it’s sleeting i go inside you can also say
to hail if it’s hailing it means that little hail
stones little tiny balls of ice or normally tiny
but there are big ones a falling from the sky
it’s completely frozen rain you can also say
to freeze or to freeze over and to freeze over
means covered with a layer of ice so i might say
my pond has frozen over my pond is covered with
ice now some nouns you might use to describe
winter so we’ve got sleet hail snow frost as i’ve
mentioned before you also have blizzard which is a
windy snowstorm and for some idioms you can have a
cold snap which is a short period of cold weather
or you can be frozen to death or frozen to the
bone which means you are completely frozen through
right let’s talk about spring spring is known
for being sunny and rainy it’s warm and it’s wet
and it’s when all of the plants start to grow
adjectives you can use are cool it means it’s
not cold it’s not unpleasant nor is it warm mild
is the same thing mild fresh as well it’s a very
fresh day you can say it’s bright the sun is
out you can say breezy which means a light wind
it’s normally very pleasant and welcomed when
you’re talking about clouds you can say cloudy
or slightly more advanced is overcast where there
is some sunlight but there are also some clouds
meaning that you don’t have a completely sunny
day it’s overcast you hear the meteorologists on
weather stations talking about an overcast
day quite a lot one that’s not so positive
is muggy this is if the air is very very humid it
can be cold or hot you can have a muggy summer’s
day as well but it means there’s high humidity
in the air another word you can say is simply wet
it’s a wet day it’s been raining a lot time for
some verbs well talking about rain you can say to
drizzle it’s drizzling this means it’s a constant
but gentle flow of rain to shower pretty much the
same that means it’s more sporadic or occasional
meteorologists normally say you can expect showers
throughout the day which means occasional patches
of rain you can say to poor which is where it
rains really really heavily moving on to the nouns
you’ve got rain which is uncountable you’ve got a
shower which is a light patch of rain you can
also have a downpour which is a really heavy
patch of rain or even a flood where the ground
becomes inundated and can’t absorb any more water
idioms you can say to chuck it down which means
a heavy downpour you can say it’s raining cats
and dogs although in reality we don’t actually use
that idiom that much but it seems to be the first
idiom that anyone ever learns you can also say to
buck it down if it’s bucketing down with rain it’s
raining really hard and you can also be soaked
through this is where it’s rained on you and you
are really really wet oh my god i’m soaked through
right let’s talk about summer and adjectives that
can be used to describe summer weather firstly
of course we have hot other words that can
be used to describe hot weather are scorching
sweltering boiling sunny you could also say dry
if there’s not been any rain and there’s no
humidity you can say it’s a clear day if there
are no clouds in the sky or you could say it’s
very humid if the air is very wet you can also
say it’s blistering a blistering sun verbs you
can say to shine the sun is shining you can also
say the sun is burning if it’s especially hot and
you can also say to scorch just like the adjective
nouns the only extras really to add are sunshine
which we like to say a lot and to talk about the
heat now there are a couple of idioms relating to
our reactions to the sun you can say to catch some
rays which means to absorb some of the sunshine
and maybe get a tan you can also say to go brown
which again refers to tanning you can also soak
up the sun which means the same thing again and
when talking about sweating you can sweat like a
pig oh my god i’m sweating like a pig which means
i’m sweating a lot finally let’s talk about autumn
or as they say in america fall in british english
we say autumn but we do understand what fall
means because we see it on the tv and in movies
in america they say fall some adjectives relating
to autumn my favorite and the most descriptive
is autumnal autumnal it’s a very autumnal day it
tends to be windier in autumn so you can say windy
another lovely one is blustery it’s a blustery
day and it can also be misty or foggy which is
when there is cold moisture in the air normally
in the mornings some verbs specifically relating
to wind it can be howling with wind to howl or
to blow as well the wind is blowing nouns a gale
a strong wind a hurricane a very very strong
wind a tornado that’s when wind goes around in
a vortex and you’ve also got mist and fog which i
mentioned before which is cold moisture in the air
right that’s it for today’s lesson your homework
is to write in the comments about the weather
from where you are today and please mention where
you are because i love seeing where you come from
welcome back to english with lucy today i’m going
to talk to you about how to describe personality
and character in english and i’m going to help
you with your pronunciation by the end of this
lesson you will know 72 adjectives that can
be used to describe personality and character
i’ve divided them into positive or approving
adjectives and also negative or disapproving
adjectives for each adjective i’ve included the
ipa transcription so you can really focus on the
pronunciation and also the definition let’s
start with personality category number one
the adjectives within this first group describe
how willing you are to communicate with others
so we have extroverted extroverted someone
who is extroverted is lively and confident
and enjoys being around other people the opposite
or the antonym for this adjective is introverted
introverted so this describes somebody who is
more interested in their own thoughts and feelings
than they are in spending time with other
people we also have talkative talkative
this describes somebody who likes to talk
a lot then on the other hand we have quiet
quiet which means tending not to
talk a lot next confident confident

something and be successful and the antonym for
this is shy shy someone who is shy is nervous
about meeting people or speaking to people

are honest or direct and are sometimes at risk of
hurting other people’s feelings because of this
on the other side we have secretive secretive if
you’re secretive you like to hide your thoughts
feelings and actions and keep them private then
we have direct direct and sometimes much like
frank this can also be negative or disapproving
depending on tone of voice and context if you’re

secretive or dishonest way
the next category is how open you are to

three to four sentences about yourself using some
of the adjectives that we’ve learned today and if
you can include any others that would be really
really good today oh today i’m so excited about
this lesson i’ve been excited since i wrote
this lesson a couple of days ago today i am
going to teach you 16 spiffing old-fashioned
british idioms that are going to make you sound
oh so fancy i think they make you sound really
intelligent educated and well-read when you say
them so learning them and saying them is no bad
thing you’ll also be able to understand them more
when you hear them in old-fashioned movies or
tv series that are set in the past number one
is a little birdie told me or should be a little
bird told me but my grandad always says a little
birdie told me so that’s what i say too and i
think you should also a little birdie told me
means a secret informant has told me someone
has told me something but i don’t want to say
who that person is i’m protecting their identity
this phrase is thought to originate from the bible
an example a little birdie told me that you
went for afternoon tea with a mystery suitor
number two oh this is a gorgeous one i
love this one a fly in the ointment a
fly in the ointment it’s so expressive
a fly in the ointment is a single thing
or a person that is spoiling something that
could have been very positive or enjoyable
for example i’m looking forward to tomorrow
the only fly in the ointment being that i’ll
have to sit next to my dreadful brother-in-law
disclaimer both of my brother-in-laws to be are
lovely and i would happily sit next to them
tomorrow if there were an event number three
oh i know i’m saying everyone is great but
they are all really great because i pick them
number three is as keen as mustard as keen as
mustard if you are as keen as mustard it means you
are very eager or very enthusiastic and interested
in something for example she is as keen as mustard
to get her hands on that tea set her mother
promised her number four is to eat humble pie
to eat humble pie this means to admit that you are
wrong and apologize especially in situations where
this is very embarrassing or humiliating for you
for example i had to eat humble pie and publicly
apologize for spreading vicious rumors about her
gap year i made that up i don’t spread rumors very
often number five is pardon my french pardon my
french this means oh please forgive my swearing
basically the person who said a swear word is
attempting to pass it off as french for example
oh pardon my french i don’t know what came
over me number six another personal favorite
of mine it is hanky panky hanky-panky this is
unethical behaviour deceit or illicit relations
make of that what you will for example i am
certain that a bit of hanky-panky went on
at the wedding reception number seven this is a
phrase i’ve used quite frequently actually it is
to see a man about a dog this is a phrase that is
used to apologize for one’s imminent departure or
absence especially if you’re trying to conceal
where you are going or what you’re going to do
for example i’m so sorry that i’m going to
miss the rest of this delightful christening
i have to go and see a man about a dog this would
be me expressing to my friend that i cannot spend
another minute at this dreadful event and i must
go and go for a drink or go out somewhere number
eight is neither here nor there neither here
nor there this means that’s not relevant to the
point or it doesn’t matter for example yes it was
our first date but that’s neither here nor there
number nine this is a phrase used by my grandma
a lot not because she sleeps loads just it’s
something she’s always said to go for 14 winks is
to go for a short sleep or a nap without actually
saying it because we’re british and we don’t like
to say things directly for example i’m just going
to retire to the sitting room and go for 40 wings
it’s not a sleep it’s 40 weeks number 10 is to
turn a blind eye to turn a blind eye this means to
pretend not to have noticed something for example
i saw her take the last scone but i decided to
turn a blind eye also yes i pronounced it as
scone if you think it’s scone you can go nuts in
the comments section i’m not willing to have an
argument on this it’s scone in my family number
11 is pot calling the kettle black pot calling
the kettle black this means hypocrite this has
been used since the 1600s and back in those days
pots and kettles were both made out of iron and
they were both covered in soot and they were
always black so if a pot that is black is also
calling a kettle black it’s quite hypocritical
for example you think i’m stuck up pot calling
kettle black you’re stuck up too number 12
i can’t do something to save my life i can’t do it
to save my life this is a hyperbolic way of saying
that you are incredibly inept at something you are
unable to do it well it’s often used to express
reluctancy and unwillingness to do something
and it’s used in a self-deprecating way very
typically british for example if somebody asked me
to make a victoria sponge which happens to me most
frequently but i didn’t want to make it i might
say i can’t make victoria sponges to save my life
maybe your mum could make one done i don’t have
to make a victoria sponge they think i can’t make
them to save my life number 13 is to get someone’s
goat to get someone’s goat this means to irritate
someone and the origins of this phrase are quite
interesting they’re to do with horse racing
in the 19th century supposedly nervous racehorses
would be calmed down by placing a goat in their
stable with them but rivals would take or steal or
get the goat thus making the horse nervous again
and then hopefully the rival’s horse would win the
race for example you know who really gets my goat
actually i’m trying to think of who i can say gets
my goat on here really i’m perpetually scared of
offending people there are so many people
who get my goat but none of them are worth
drama number 14 is to kick the bucket to kick the
bucket this means to die in britain we don’t like
saying that someone has died we like to say they
have passed away or they have popped their clogs
or they have kicked the bucket for example
unfortunately my great uncle arthur kicked
the bucket last year number 15 is the apple of my
eye the apple of my eye this is one you may have
heard before it’s very commonly used in america
the apple of one’s eye is something that one
cherishes above all others the phrase was used in
a midsummer’s night dream and it refers to a time
when people thought that the pupil of the
eye was a solid object the actual apple
of your eye for example my william is the apple
of my eye oh that’s so romantic i wonder if he’ll
see this he claims to watch all of my videos
i don’t ask him to he claims to but um
let’s see if he notices apple in my eye or you
might not be after this number 16 i’ve saved the
best till last and yes i have mentioned this in
a video before but it was a very long time ago
three years ago i’m so old uh it is bob’s your
uncle bob’s your uncle and this means as simple
as that i’ll use it all the time as simple as
that well bob’s your uncle there you have it
easy as that for example boil the kettle place
a tea bag in the cup fill it up with water
let it rest for 2.5 minutes maybe three but no
longer take it out dash of skimmed milk bob’s your
uncle cup of tea right that’s it for my spiffingly
fancy video today i hope you enjoyed it i hope you

right that was my lesson on 50 advanced verbs
that you can now use and impress people with
today i have a vocabulary lesson we are
going to talk about clothes vocabulary
but not just the basic clothes vocabulary we’re
going to go into detail when you start learning
english one of the first things that you learn is
socks t-shirt shoes hat but there is so much more
than that there’s so much more advanced vocabulary
what’s the difference between a t-shirt bra
and a push-up bra or boxers and briefs what
would you call this neckline style on a t-shirt
i’m going to tell you all of this i think we
should start with underwear because hopefully
that’s what you put on first now i am going to
be talking about menswear and women’s wear but i
completely understand that you can wear whatever
you want regardless of gender we’re just going
from a vocabulary standpoint here let’s start with
men’s underwear in british english we call men’s
underwear pants now in american english pants is
what we call trousers so if someone from the u.s
says take off your pants it means take off your
trousers but if a british girl says take off your
pants she might be flirting with you now pants is
a very general term but we can be more specific
we have boxer shorts or boxers and these tend to
have an elastic waist and baggy legs baggy means
loose or not tight briefs which are also known
as y fronts are shorter and tighter they’re often
referred to as snug which means tight and close
fitting we also have boxer briefs which have that
same elasticated waist and they have long legs
which are tight-fitting now let’s talk about the
women’s wear equivalent in american english they
call women’s underwear panties now we don’t tend
to say this in british english panties almost
sounds like something you’d say to a child it
sounds quite childish which obviously when you’re
talking about underwear doesn’t sit well with me
in british english we say pants or knickers so
that pants word is a really general unisex term
knickers is generally referring to women’s wear
now we also have lots and lots of different types
of knickers we have briefs now these are
often rudely referred to as granny pants
because they’re bigger and they’re not deemed to
be attractive but i can think of many occasions
where having attractive underwear is not your
number one priority so briefs can be very very
comfortable and convenient these cover you well
they are triangular and they come up high and
they finish low if you want underwear that holds
you in and slims you and smooths your silhouette
then you have the option of control pants
or spanx which is actually a brand name but
because they were sort of the pioneers like the
hoover spanx they were the first in the market
so their brand name has actually become
something that we use for any brand
we also have boy shorts these are basically the
women’s wear version of boxer shorts we also
have knickers with just a thin strip at the back
these have many names you can call them a g-string
i grew up playing the violin and i always
found it so funny when my g-string broke
tell everyone oh no i’ve broken my g-string you
can also call them thongs or brazilians thongs
seems to be a really thin strip at the back and
brazilians are slightly thicker at the back now
some important vocabulary vpl lots of women choose
to wear thongs and brazilians and g-strings to
avoid the vpl which means visible panty line this
is where the edge of your underwear can dig into
your skin and be visible through clothes i know i
much prefer a seamless look seamless means smooth
without any joins a seam in clothing is where
two pieces of fabric have been sewn together
that’s the scene there let’s also talk about bras
these are very very important or not so important
nowadays it seems to be quite in fashion to not
wear a bra bra is short for frazier but hardly
anyone says that anymore we just say bra there are
lots of different styles we have a triangle bra
which is of course in a triangle sort of more
of a bikini shape we have a t-shirt bra which
is a bra that’s intended to be invisible
under your t-shirt a sports bra this has
lots of control so there’s minimal movement when
doing exercise and running we have a strapless bra
with no straps straps other pieces of material
that go over your shoulder we have a push-up bra
sometimes referred to as a wonder bra but again
wonder bra is a brand but because they were one
of the early ones on the market lots of people
got used to saying wonder bra for every brand
the correct brandless term is a push-up bra and
this is where you have extra sponge or filling
to push up your cleavage and create a bustier
look one last one we have is a bandeau this is
a strapless piece of material normally without
too much structure there are two adjectives that
you need to know when it comes to bras padded and
underwired if a bra is padded it means it has an
extra layer of material this helps you have extra
shape if a bra is underwired it means it has some
wiring below the cup again to give extra shape
lots of women avoid under wiring for comfort
reasons let’s move on to another underwear section
socks and tights the things you wear on your feet
and your legs let’s start with socks we have
trainer socks and these are socks that finish
just below your ankles so technically they should
be invisible when you wear trainers we also have
pop socks and these just cover the outer part
of your feet so that they are invisible in most
shoes we also have ankle socks that come up
to the ankles mid calf over the calf knee high
over the knee and thigh high we also have
what are called tights in british english or
pantyhose in american english these are like
long socks that come all the way up to your waist
so they are joined together at the top like a pair
of leggings the thickness of these are determined
by the denier which describes the thickness of
the yarn or material used to make them 20 denier
pair of tights would be very thin and transparent
and 100 denier pair of tights would be very thick
and warm stockings are a sort of cross between a
pair of tights and socks that finish at your thigh
but they’re normally in that tight nylon sort of
material lastly we have thermal underwear which
we wear under our clothes to keep us warm we have
long johns which are thermal trousers or leggings
an undershirt which is usually a long-sleeved
shirt vests are sleeveless thermal tops with
thin straps in general we would just refer to
any piece of clothing used to keep us warm as our
thermals oh i’ve got my thermals on oh i wish i’d
put my thermals on right we’re done with underwear
let’s move on to what goes on the top half of
your body in british english anything that goes
on the top half of your body is generally
called a top in american english generally
it’s a shirt but a shirt in british english would
imply that it has a collar buttons and maybe cuffs
one word that you will hear a lot when talking
about tops is sleeves or sleeved the sleeves are
the part of the garment that cover your arms
if something is short sleeve and it has short
pieces of material on your arm long sleeves the
opposite we also mention collars which is the
material that can cover your neck and the neckline
which is essentially a hole for your head i think
neckline vocabulary is very important because
different necklines suit different people we have
the v-neck we have this this is a boat neck this
has got a thin kind of crescent shape a polo or
turtle neck we have a cowl neck which has some
extra material and we also have a crew neck
which would be considered the most normal style of
t-shirt neck a sweetheart neck forms the top shape
of a love heart this is considered to be very
feminine square neck scoop neck and a halter neck
where the sleeves come up and go around your neck
i love halter necks in the summer a top can be
sleeveless or strapless it can be strappy or
have straps i know my mum would say oh i love
your strappy dress meaning your dress with straps
really thin straps can be called spaghetti straps
because they look like a strand of spaghetti
we could have short sleeves half length sleeves
three quarter length sleeves or long sleeves now
in british english a top with straps is usually
called a vest in american english it’s usually
called a tank although because here in britain we
consume a lot of american media we do now use the
word tank as well but when i was younger growing
up i would always say vest top but now i’m older
tank top seems to be just as common this could be
because brands are more international now so they
choose to use the american terminology something
that’s very popular at the moment crop tops these
are short tops that finish under your torso and
they show your midriff or your stomach as i
said before shirts in british english refer to
tops with buttons down the front and a collar and
usually cuffs we also have blouses these are like
feminine shirts they’re normally more loose
fitting they don’t necessarily have the collar
and they’re considered to be more smart and formal
cuffs are the end parts of shirts and to seal them
we i don’t know why i pinched myself just there to
close them we use cufflinks cufflinks that’s the
accessory that many men receive on their birthdays
let’s talk about the tops that keep you warm
in british english we have jumpers
and in american english they call them
sweaters if you said to a british person can
i borrow a sweater i think we would understand
you but we might think maybe you’re looking for
sportswear we do have sweatshirts which are like
hoodies but with no hood and generally no
pocket on the front they’re normally cotton
with tight sleeves hoodies have a hood and a
pocket at the front we also have jumpers or
knitwear there’s lots of different styles cable
knit or chunky knit my fiance will loves a cable
knit jumper we also have fair isle print which
have that christmassy design around the neck
striped or stripey and also cardigans which
are divided down the middle and are closed
with buttons now let’s talk about some casual
jackets as well we have a biker or leather
jacket made out of leather denim jackets
bomber or military jackets and baseball or
varsity jackets and these are an american style
jacket but they became very popular in the uk
and they are what college students tend to wear we
also have formal jackets a blazer is a more casual
less tailored formal jacket we have a tailored
jacket which is very close fitting a dinner jacket
which has satin on the lapels they are the parts
that are folded back on a formal jacket we can
have jackets and coats that are single-breasted
with one row of buttons or double-breasted
with two rows of buttons we also have a morning
coat jacket which has long tails at the back
let’s talk briefly about the different styles of
coats we have a trench coat often found in beige
usually tied at the waist very burberry duffel
coats which are closed using those special
wooden fasteners parker jackets and rain jackets
a ski jacket a very puffy one for cold weather
we also have a shooting coat which is used for
british country sports and an overcoat as well
on colder evenings women in particular may choose
to wear a poncho which is like a blanket that goes
all the way around it has no sleeves a shawl
a big scarf that you can wrap around or a wrap
as well those are alternatives to coats let’s move
on to the bottom half of your body now we have
jeans and we have so many different types of jeans
we can have high-rise mid-rise or low-rise they
can also be called high-waisted jeans low-waisted
jeans we can have skinny jeans straight leg jeans
bootleg jeans which go out under the knee
flared jeans as well and mom jeans which are
very popular now you can also have jeggings
which are a cross between jeans and leggings
they normally have fake pockets and i’m really
glad that they’re not that popular anymore because
i didn’t like them we have leggings which can
be high-waisted or regular we have joggers in
british english or sweatpants in american english
they are meant to be for athletic wear but now
athletic wear is everyday wear and sometimes
formal wear athleisure i think they call it harem
pants which are very loose fitting they’ve got
a very low crotch which is the piece of material
between your legs wide leg trousers they’re
becoming more and more fashionable we also have
corduroy trousers which are made of a specific
material corduroy cargo pants or cargo trousers

baggier chinos these are cotton trousers often
found in beige shorts which of course are shorter

there are lots of different styles starting with
length we have mini midi maxi mini’s really short
midi’s at your knee maxi is down to the ground
skirts can be pleated meaning they have ironed
folds of material they can be skater skirts
which mean they go out like an ice skater
we also have tulip skirts which mean they come in
like a tulip trumpet skirts go out at the bottom
like a trumpet this is all very logical we have
tiered skirts also called rara skirts they’ve got
lots of different layers of material coming
off and my favorite a pencil skirt which is
just a figure-hugging skirt that normally goes
mid-thigh to the knee we have lots of different
types of dresses as well that go over your full
body but one thing i want to mention before
is a jumpsuit so this is a full body outfit
that has trousers as opposed to a skirt
these are usually full length if you want your
top attached your shorts this is normally called
a playsuit in british english or it’s called a
romper in american english cute short very summery
floral dresses are called tea dresses in british
english or sundresses in american english but
there’s a lot of crossover we have fit and flare
dresses which are tight at the top and then go out
for the skirt wrap dresses which are wrapped
around you and tied with a bow maxi dresses they
go all the way down to the floor ball gowns
these are very formal dresses usually worn
for evening events peplum dresses they were
a big fashion weren’t they they are normally
tight but have a bit at the waist that flares out
bodycon dresses and pencil dresses are usually
very figure-hugging and tight let’s move on to
shoes we normally talk about our flats or our
heels so obviously flat shoes have no heels
and heels elevate your heel off the ground
ballet flats are of course inspired by ballet
dancers kitten heels have a tiny little thin
heel tall version of that is called
stiletto heels that’s with a really
thin pointy heel that is really difficult to
walk on platform heels have a thick platform
under the toes wedges have no individual heel it’s
just all one block at the bottom and we also have
court shoes and pumps which are sort of lower
heels when we talk about flatter shoes we have

flip-flops these are also known as thongs
these are very minimal rubber shoes that
you can wear in the summer and normally at the
beach we have loafers we also have boat shoes
chelsea boots and brogues finally let’s touch on
accessories of course we’d be nothing without our
sunglasses we can also call them sunnies for short
or shades we also wear watches scarves gloves
a handbag handbags or just bags in general i have
heard people refer to mail handbags as man bags
i’m not sure if that’s really a thing why would
they not just call it a bag we can also carry
an umbrella and one important thing to note is
neckwear especially in menswear we can have a tie
or a cravat that’s a different that’s like sort
of a silk scarf that you wear in place of a tie if
you want a bow it’s a bow tie we also have loads
and loads and loads of different types of hats
a hat with a peek is called a cap you can have
a visor which just goes around here there’s
nothing at the top a beret is french inspired
of course a panama hat very nice for holidays
we also have fedoras i know there are very mixed
views on fedoras in the internet community top
hats which are very tall my fiance wears a top
hat once a year at the races and i can never
take him seriously when he’s wearing it it looks
too ridiculous because he’s already six foot six
which is nearly two meters it’s 198. um and so
to have a top hat on as well it’s just too much
when we go to weddings sometimes especially women
will wear a little decoration it’s not quite a hat
but it’s an accessory on their head we call this
a fascinator because it just fascinates everyone
we also have a beanie hat or a woolly hat which
is knitted and if it has a pom-pom on it we call
it a bobble hat so cute right that is it for
