선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.

Clothing is defined, in its broadest sense, as coverings for the torso and limbs as well as coverings for the hands (gloves), feet (socks, shoes, sandals, boots) and head (hats, caps). People almost universally wear clothing, which is also known as dress, garments, attire, or apparel. People wear clothing for functional as well as for social reasons. Clothing protects the vulnerable nude human body from the extremes of weather, other features of our environment, and for safety reasons. Every article of clothing also carries a cultural and social meaning. Human beings are the only mammals known to wear clothing, with the exception of human pets clothed by their owners.
People also decorate their bodies with makeup or cosmetics, perfume, and other ornamentation; they also cut, dye, and arrange the hair of their heads, faces, and bodies (see hairstyle), and sometimes also mark their skin (by tattoos, scarifications, and piercings). All these decorations contribute to the overall effect and message of clothing, but do not constitute clothing per se.Articles carried rather than worn (such as purses, canes, and umbrellas) are normally counted as fashion accessories rather than as clothing. Jewelry and eyeglasses are usually counted as accessories as well, even though in common speech these items are described as being worn rather than carried.
Fashion - current style:?the style of dress, behavior, way of living, or other expression that is popular at present
Fad - short-lived fashion
Wardrobe - large closet for clothes and shoes
Wardrobe Mistress - somebody in charge of costumes
Widow’s Weeds - traditional black clothes of widow
Dress to kill - wearing very glamorous clothes
Dressed to the nines - If you are in your very best clothes
Dress Down - dress casually
Keep your wig on - Calm Down
Who wears the pants - The dominant person who controls things in a relationship.

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ "I bought a new cloth yesterday."
✅ "I bought new clothes yesterday."

한국어로는 '옷'이 단수와 복수 구분이 없지만, 영어에서 cloth는 '천, 직물'이라는 뜻이고 clothes는 '옷'이라는 뜻입니다. 입는 옷을 말할 때는 항상 clothes(복수형)를 사용해야 합니다. 또한 clothes는 항상 복수 취급하므로 "a clothes"라고 쓰지 않고, 한 벌을 말할 때는 "an outfit" 또는 "a piece of clothing"이라고 표현합니다.
