Women leave hundreds of pounds worth of clothes gathering dust in the wardrobe, a survey yesterday revealed.
On average they have 14 items costing up to ?21.82 each that will never see the light of day.
Over a working lifetime that adds up to around ?12,810 of wasted clobber - mainly due to diets that did not work and "irresistible" bargains. Shoes topped the list of unworn items.
In total, women fritter away around ?7.3billion on discarded garments and footwear.
The survey by insurers Churchill found men hoard an average of nine unworn things - mainly shirts - valued at ?7,901 over the years. A spokesman said: "Few people realise how much they're wasting."
Women spend ?18,500 on undies in a lifetime, compared to ?1,200 for men, says a survey by underwear firm Jockey UK. Men keep pants for up to 12 years.
1月6日公布的一项调查显示,英国女性在服装和鞋子的开销浪费惊人,她们往往会将高价购买的服装和鞋子长期丢弃在衣橱内,而任其上面积满灰尘而从未使用。
据英国《镜报》1月7日报道,由英国丘吉尔保险公司进行的此次调查显示,每个英国女性在其职场生涯中浪费在服装和鞋帽上的金钱总计约为12810英镑,造成这种现象的原因主要有以下两点:首先是不成功的减肥努力,其次是禁不住商场打折促销的强烈诱惑。在这一群体中,平均每人会有14件服装和鞋类商品在买回家后从未被派上用场,而其中一些商品每件的价格可达21.82英镑。在那些始终处于闲置状态的物品名单上,鞋子高居榜首。每年被英国女性丢弃的服装和鞋子的总价约为73亿英镑。 |
