Because of this, they become objects of scorn: Britons complain that bums living on their taxes without bringing benefits to society. The clothes chavy prefer sports style, but for sports activities are rarely seen.

Girls wear tight chavetty-shirts with the logos of famous brands, tight jeans or short skirts, ugg boots or sneakers, but especially stand out for their hairstyles: bleached hair regrown to shrink back into a tight tail and ears are decorated with big earrings in the form of rings. Chavetty are fond of shiny jewelry, imitating gold. Both men and women are rarely released from the hands of a can of beer and a cigarette, so they can safely be considered a piece wardrobe. From music chavy prefer hip-hop and R & B, though not averse to domestic racism. Chavy love cars, but not patient enough (or too adventurous) to dig the money and buy a good car; much prefer to take a second-hand and spend time and money on its tuning. To communicate in a typical slang with a strong accent, vocabulary is rich with abusive words.
