So you should wear a nice shirt with a suit. Il faut porter une jolie chemise avec un costume. And be all fancy.

3. chapeau

Chapeau, hat.

Some people say in French that you can have a hat head, avoir une t êt e à chapeau. which means you can wear hat easily and it will look nice on you.

A top hat, un chapeau haut de forme. That’s so fancy.

4. imperméable

So don’t forget the raincoat N'oubliez pas votre imperméable.

Imperméable is also waterproof in French. So when some thing is imperméable, it means its waterproof.
