What people wear depends on their likes and dislikes. On birthdays, some children wear paper party hats. At Christmas, some people wear Santa Claus hats. In winter, Canadian people usually wear coats, gloves, boots and hats. It is nearly the same in northern China. Generally, people in Canada and the United States wear suits for working in offices, as well as for more formal occasions, just as people do in China. People in cities around the world wear rather similar clothes.
