- Chloé, what do you wear in the winter? - Usually, I wear a thick coat and (some) gloves because I'm very sensitive to the cold. But last winter, it was quite warm, so I wore long-sleeve t-shirts. What about you, Henri? - I like big jackets and boots because I hate being wet. And in the summer, how do you dress? - I prefer to wear (some) shorts and (some) crop tops. And last summer, my favourite outfit was a linen dress with (some) golden sandals.
