Women Spend £80K On Clothes In A Lifetime And Still Complain They Have Nothing To Wear.
New research has finally confirmed what
husbands have suspected for years - that women spend a fortune on clothes and
still have nothing to wear.
The average woman spends nearly £84,000 on
clothes in a lifetime but despite this rather frightening sum 60 per cent still
struggle to find something to wear to work or on a night out with
friends.
The poll taken of more than 1000 adults also
shows that women buy roughly 3,109 items over the years including 271 pairs of
shoes (£13,989), 185 dresses (£7,699) and 145 bags (£5,420).
Shopaholics Women spend a fortune on clothes during their
lives but 60% confessed to having nothing to wear when it came to getting ready
for work or a night out
In total, the average woman spends £83,498 in
a lifetime, research from Sure Women Linen Dry says.
The study found that 41 per cent admitted to
changing outfits at least twice per day, re-applying make-up up to five times
per day and one in four checking the mirror five times or more every day.
Pricey Women will spend an average of £13,989 on shoes
over the years
Ten per cent admitted to buying at least one
item of clothing or accessories every week in the middle of the day, just to
attend an event straight from work.
And 14 per cent claimed to have hidden
purchases from their partners.
While one in eight (12 per cent) confessed to
keeping at least one pair of shoes at their place of work to change into for a
night out.
Julie Spearman, Sure for Women Assistant Brand
Manager, told The Mirror: ‘Women never seem to have enough clothes. Many
feel the pressure to keep up with ever-changing fashions and this means they're
always buying something new.'
Researchers found that the younger age groups
are likely to spend most in their lifetimes, with the under 25s heading towards
a total of £129,903.
Those over 55 have been more thrifty and are likely to have spent £63,571 in the course of their lives
