Formal Clothes 英伦正装

Many people imagine British people to wear very smart formal clothes, but is this an accurate picture?

This is the question that Bill Lee set out to answer.

Bill is a college student from China who won this year's 21st Century National English Speaking Contest. He worked with bbcukchina.com for two weeks this summer.
