Fall Fashions
Sep 17 2012
Intro
It’s hard to say goodbye to summer. We’d all like the warm weather, long days and fun trips to continue. But let’s face it: fall is almost here.
At least we have some fun fall fashions to look forward to. The autumn is when designers debut their new lines. In the US, many stores hold sales at this time of year to attract back-to-school shoppers hoping to revamp their look.
Plus, cooler weather means more options for things to wear. You’d look pretty silly wearing a cozy scarf, heavy cardigan, or wool blazer in 100 degree heat. Find out what fashions Jeff and Devan are excited about wearing this fall.

Dialogue
Jeff: So Devan, it’s pretty warm out today. Do you ever get that kind of feeling where you’re actually looking forward to the colder weather, like around fall when you get to start wearing different clothes?
Devan: That’s the main reason I love fall time, is because I just love fall fashion. I like layering, you know, busting out the cardigans and the boots again. I feel like summer fashion is very limiting ‘cause you pretty much live in shorts and tank tops and sandals.
Jeff: Oh yeah.
Devan: You can’t mix it up a lot. But in the fall you have colder days and warmer days, so you can wear jackets and long sleeve shirts, button-ups.
Jeff: You can diversify your wardrobe.
Devan: Exactly.
Jeff: Yeah. I usually go all summer without wearing a shirt, so when fall comes around…
Devan: You bust out the plaid button-up again?
Jeff: Yeah. I’ve got a couple blazers I like to wear. I’ve got some boots I’d like to have re-soled.
Devan: Do you like the fall color scheme? Like do you like to wear lots of oranges and reds and browns?
Jeff: Seems like most people do, but I only wear black, white and grey.
Devan: All year long, no matter what season it is?
Jeff: Pretty much. I’m an exception.

Discussion
Even though it still feels like summer, Devan is looking forward to the fall when she will be able to start wearing her favorite fall fashions. She says that fall fashion is more versatile than summer fashion, when people wear less clothing and don’t layer.
Jeff is also looking forward to the fall because he has some blazers and boots that he’s excited to wear. But he isn’t planning on wearing fall colors like orange, red and brown. He prefers to wear a simple color scheme of black, white and grey regardless of the season.
Which season is your favorite when it comes to fashion? Do you have any new fall clothes that you are excited about wearing?

Grammar Point
Modal Verbs
Devan says that in the summer, you can’t wear many different types of clothes. But in the fall, you can wear more things. Can and can’t are both modal verbs.
Modal verbs come before the main verb in a sentence. They help express ideas like possibility, obligation, and ability.
For instance, can expresses ability or possibility. In the fall, you are able to wear more things. It is possible to have a more diverse wardrobe.
Can’t is the opposite of can. It is short for cannot. In the summer, it is impossible to wear things like sweaters and blazers, because the weather is too hot. You can’t wear them.
Which is correct, “I can’t find a pair of boots I like,” or, “I can’t to find a pair of boots I like”?
