Dressed to impress?
14 May 2008
British women do not fork out as much money as the average fashionista dressed to impress, according to a new survey.
|
A study by More Than insurers looked at how much UK women would be spending if they followed the fashion stylings of icon Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City.
It found that Carrie would spend at least £10,572 on dresses and other clothing items a year, while the average Brit spends just £68.02 a month – or £816.24 a year.
Even women in the same demographic as Carrie Bradshaw – dubbed the British Carries – would only spend around £918 a year.
Nearly half of the respondents said their entire clothing collection was probably less than £1,000 in total.
Annette Lepper from More Than said: "Though British women may not have the means to build a Sex and the City style wardrobe, during their lifetimes many will have built up closets with significant monetary values – problems arise when people don't stop to think about the combined value of all their purchases, or accurately account for their total worth.
"We would strongly advise all British women to take time out and reassess the worth of their valuable collections."
