× Well, I prefer casual clothes, usually a pair of shorts and my sneakers.
✓ Well, I prefer casual clothing, usually a pair of shorts and my sneakers.
The original mixes plural 'clothes' with 'a pair of shorts' which is acceptable but 'clothing' is more natural here. This corrects awkward plurality and keeps meaning. Suggestion: use 'clothing' or keep 'casual clothes' and remove 'a' before 'pair' if listing multiple items.
× I like wearing simple and comfortable outfit because I always feel very comfortable and I'm also able to run errands when I'm meeting my friends.
✓ I like wearing simple and comfortable outfits because I always feel very comfortable and I can run errands when I meet my friends.
'Outfit' should be plural 'outfits' to agree with general preference. 'Able to' is wordy; 'can' is natural. Use simple present 'when I meet my friends' for habitual actions. Suggestion: use plural for general statements and present simple for habits.
× Also casual clothes makes me feel quite handsome and I get so many good comments from my friends, that is why I enjoy casual clothes.
✓ Also, casual clothes make me feel quite handsome, and I get so many good comments from my friends; that is why I enjoy casual clothes.
Subject 'casual clothes' is plural so verb should be 'make' not 'makes' (third person plural). Add commas for clarity and connect clauses properly. Suggestion: ensure subject-verb agreement for plural subjects.
× I always like to wear my T-shirts with my nice trousers and my shoes, my pair of shoes.
✓ I always like to wear my T-shirts with my nice trousers and my shoes.
Redundant phrase 'my pair of shoes' repeats 'my shoes' and is unnecessary. 'Trousers' is plural and correctly used. Suggestion: remove repetition for clarity.
× Not really, it depends on the type of occasion that I am going or I am attending to.
✓ Not really, it depends on the type of occasion I am going to or attending.
Preposition placement: use 'going to' and 'attending' without final 'to'. The clause 'that' is unnecessary. Also 'going to' is correct phrase. Suggestion: use 'going to' + place/event and 'attending' without extra preposition.
× There is a saying dressing is about a combination, so I often don't stress myself spending a whole lot of time choosing my clothes, I just find something nice.
✓ There is a saying: dressing is about a combination, so I often don't stress myself by spending a whole lot of time choosing my clothes; I just find something nice.
Missing punctuation and connector 'by' before gerund phrase 'spending'. Use semicolon or period to avoid comma splice. Suggestion: add 'by' for correct verb+gerund structure and fix sentence boundaries.
× Exactly. During the weekdays I sometimes put on my African wear and also during the weekends I often like to be in shorts with my sneakers on.
✓ Exactly. During the weekdays I sometimes put on my African wear, and on the weekends I often like to wear shorts with my sneakers.
Use parallel prepositions: 'during the weekdays' vs 'on the weekends' should be consistent; 'wear shorts' is more natural than 'be in shorts'. Suggestion: maintain parallel structure and choose natural verbs like 'wear'.
× Actually, black is my favorite color. So often I enjoy wearing black pants or black shorts or black trousers because it fits me so much and it goes with any T-shirt or any top that I put on.
✓ Actually, black is my favorite color, so I often enjoy wearing black pants, black shorts, or black trousers because they suit me well and go with any T-shirt or top I put on.
Pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to plural items; use 'they'. 'Fits me so much' is awkward; use 'suit me well'. Combine clauses and remove redundancy. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with antecedents and use natural collocations like 'suit me'.
