UK Women’s hoarding habits revealed – do you still have tags on your Christmas clothes?

Women love to shop for clothes and shoes, who doesn’t love to walk into a clothing shop and get a bargain? According to new research by Wilko a lot of us women buy clothing and shoes that we will never wear.

A massive 46% of women have said that they have splashed out on shoes that they have NEVER worn. A third also said they still have clothes hanging in their wardrobes that still have the price tags on and one in four have deliberately hidden something they have bought from their partner to avoid any arguments.

One in eight men admitted that they have secretly binned something they had found in their other half’s wardrobe…it better not be the Christmas jumper!

Over two thirds of women quizzed were self-confessed hoarders and admitted that a lot of clothes they bought on shopping sprees rarely get worn and just gather dust in their wardrobes.

Men on the other hand don’t buy as many clothes or shoes as women and are much less likely to buy stuff they won’t wear, the survey reveals.

Jenny Graham, storage buyer at wilko said: “It’s remarkable how many clothes are bought but never worn, leading to jam packed wardrobes,drawers that won’t close and disgruntled partners!

“Having regular clear outs and selling items or giving them to charitable causes is a great way to downsize. Once you’ve got rid of anything you no longer need and identified what you want to keep, clever storage systems make it easy to see and access your favourite belongings and maximise space. So no more forgetting about the stuff you can’t get to!”

We will have to go through all of our Christmas jumpers are sort them into some proper storage!
