It would definitely have to be my beloved pair of Levi’s denim jeans. I actually found this gem at a local thrift store, just a short walk from my home, when I received my first paycheck about two years ago. It was quite a steal, costing only 250K, while its original price was nearly two million.
These jeans are a deep, grainy indigo with classic 5-pocket styling. What distinguishes Levi’s jeans from others is the iconic Arcuate design, an arc shape on the back pockets.
I adore this piece of clothing, partly because of its non-stretch fabric, which ensures durability. After two years and numerous wears and washes, it still looks as good as new, with no holes or tears.
What I particularly love about them is their high-waisted silhouette. With my short legs and slightly larger thighs, this fit is flattering as the higher waist naturally lengthens my legs.
These Levi’s jeans are also my go-to for outfits. They complement everything. Whether I’m aiming for a formal look with a button-down shirt tucked in and a blazer, or a casual, retro style with any white tee, it’s a versatile ensemble for any occasion. Despite the current popularity of low-rise jeans and Y2k fashion trends, I believe these will never go out of style.

III. Sample Speaking Part 3 Answer: Describe a piece of clothing you wear most frequently
Some Part 3 questions examiners use to assess speaking ability after Describe a piece of clothing you wear most often Part 2 are:
1. How do you feel about shopping for clothes?
My feelings about shopping for clothes are somewhat mixed. On one hand, I enjoy the excitement of searching and trying on different outfits. I like experimenting with various colors and patterns, and it's satisfying to find clothing that fits perfectly and brings me joy.
On the other hand, I'm aware of the negative environmental impacts of the fast fashion industry. The continuous production and consumption of inexpensive, disposable clothing have led to global pollution.
Because of these concerns, I try to be mindful of my clothing purchases. I prioritize buying second-hand or sustainable clothing whenever possible, and I try to avoid purchasing items that I won't wear frequently or that will quickly go out of style.
