Average female spends nearly a year choosing what to wear - study
Don’t be surprised if you find your wife or girlfriend spending a long time choosing what to wear for the day. A recent study revealed that in an adult lifetime (from 16 years of age to 60), women spends about 287 days going through their wardrobe.
That can be translated to almost a year dedicated to deciding what work outfits or gym clothes to wear not to mention what attire to pick for dinner parties, vacations and other outdoor activities. They even spend time thinking about what swimwear to wear. The largest chunk of the aforementioned time frame usually takes place on a weekend where most outdoor activities take place.
Researchers stated that an average female spends about 16 minutes on a weekday just thinking and deciding what to wear. On weekends, it could take up to an hour. Even choosing gym clothes could take longer since it’s not just about having an exercise at the gym but still about looking presentable among other gym-goers.
Clothing company Matalan, the one who polled nearly 2,500 women for the study, stated that a woman feels great if she wears an outfit that fits her mood for that day. It also deals with the image portrayed to other people as well.
