Average woman wears £1,000 of clothes per day
The average woman wears clothes and accessories worth over £1,000 every time she leaves the house, it has been found.A study tallied the cost of various items from underwear to handbags to work out what the typical British woman has with her at any one time.
It was discovered the average woman wears lingerie worth around £26, a skirt costing £30, shoes worth £51, a top costing £22 and a cardigan or jumper worth £38.
This is then finished off with £378 jewellery, a £76 watch and a handbag £106 containing and purse worth £146 (including contents) and a £106 mobile.
That's a total of around £1,000 -- around a £100 more then the average man… who was wearing cheap jeans, a cheap t-shirt and had a really nice mobile phone in his pocket.
A spokesperson for Sheila's Wheels home insurance, which commissioned the study of 3,000 people, said: "While celebrities wouldn't be seen out without their designer clothes and handbag this survey shows £1,000 is enough to give most British men and women the feel-good factor.
"Women clearly spend more on their appearance than men, but in fact modern men pay nearly as much attention - and money - to what their outfits as women."
