Only one-fifth of women consider themselves fashionable
Study finds low percentage of women classify themselves as fashion-savvy.
A new study reveals that not many women actually consider themselves fashionable. The research experiment, conducted by www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, polled more than 2,000 British women from ages 18-30 on topics including their shopping habits and opinions on their own style.
The results conclude that only 19 percent of women say would classify themselves as 'fashionable'.

But although many women don’t think they are fashionable, they are still spending the cash to try to get there. “What is slightly troubling about the results is the fact that many respondents admitted that they went into debt to look good and, even worse, some said that they spent over £300 staying trendy,” he said. “Spending your way into debt is never the answer, and it is better to buy one or two on-trend pieces instead of buying an entire wardrobe full of clothes every season. The money spent on clothes could be put to better use, like savings and bills."
