What do you usually like to wear when there's something to celebrate?

A natural way to answer

I usually like to make a bit of an effort. I'll choose something smarter than my everyday clothes, maybe a dress or a nice jacket. It helps me feel like the day is special and I look the part.

Key phrases to use

• throw on — to put on clothes quickly and without much thought“I'll just throw on a jumper and we can go.”
• get dressed up — to put on smart or special clothes for an occasion“We got dressed up for the dinner.”
• look the part — to be dressed in a way that suits an occasion or role“In that suit he really looked the part.”
• push the boat out — to make a special, often generous effort for an occasion“We pushed the boat out with the decorations.”
