British women prefer shopping to dating
November 26th, 2009
With the Clothes Show Live just around the corner (December 4th-9th), the fashion and beauty event conducted a survey of British women to find out about their designer clothing secrets.
Some of the revelations came as no surprise to us here at Secret Sales HQ - such as females prefer shopping with their friends than their man - but others were a little less predictable.
Believe it or not, 64 per cent of people would rather turn down a date with their ideal man in return for a shopping trip with Girls Aloud’s Cheryl Cole. Have you girls not seen her fashion choices on the X Factor?
The research also noted that on average, us girls will spend £68 on birthday presents for that special someone in our lives, but £137 on a typical shopping spree.
Caryn Franklin, who will be presenting the Birmingham show, told us that people were spending longer on finding the perfect piece of clothing and were opting to spend more on single items.
"We now understand the true cost of cheap clothes on the lives of the people who have to make them, we are just much more discerning," she explained.
