Opposite of practical clothes
|

Hi everybody! I need your useful suggestions once more. I am about to start a new unit with my students and the main vocabulary topic is clothes description.
One of the adjectives in the unit is "practical", I �d like to find asuitable opposite of "practical" when we are talking about clothes. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! |

practical / impractical
A short skirt would be an impractical choice of clothing for a librarian who had to climb a ladder. (Inappropriate too!)
suitable / unsuitable
We also talk about sensible shoes, the opposite would be impractical shoes.

I agree with Apodo. I think "impractical" would be the most common term in the U.S when referring to clothes. |

Why not �fancy �, in the sense that �practical � refers to what to do in your clothes, whereas �fancy � would refer to excessive stress on appearance? |

I agree with them.
Also you may use CASUAL clothes |
