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 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).

In total, the average woman spends £83,498 in a lifetime, research from Sure Women Linen Dry says.

The study of 1,000 adults 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.

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.
