Do you have a 'wardrobe' in your car?
Half of women are using their car as a second wardrobe, with the majority keeping extra clothing, accessories and make-up in the vechile in case of an emergency.
It seems that a good number of women regard their car as a wardrobe on wheels, according to a recent poll, as 54% admit to keeping their vehicle fully stocked with clothing and beauty equipment in case they find a need for it.
During the research, by www.breakeryard.com, 1,621 female drivers aged 18-25 from around the UK were polled, as part of an ongoing study into the habits of car owners.
The top 5 fashion and beauty items kept in their cars were:
- Makeup
- Tops
- Dresses
- Shoes
- Beauty/hair accessories
The main reasons for keeping these items in the car included, in case of emergencies, not being able to decide on what to wear, and having something to cover all eventualities.
26% of the women taking part admitted that they had previous believed a fashion or beauty item of theirs to be ‘lost’, only to later have found it in their car.
Matt Bott, Operations Director at Breakeryard.com, had the following comment to make: “You’ll see many incidents where the interiors of people’s cars look like a proverbial bombsite. A lot of the time, this is fast food wrappers and general rubbish. However, if you look beyond this you tend to see examples of useful items making up a considerable amount of the clutter.”
“With the fast pace of modern life, it makes sense to keep back up items in your car in case of emergency. The vagaries of the British weather means that you can never be too sure about the appropriate choice of clothing. And for the indecisive amongst us, the journey to a destination can provide a little more time for thought as you ponder what to wear. Makeup being number one though is no surprise, as the majority of women like to touch up on their handiwork from time to time. We would advise keeping the majority of it in the boot though, as an expensive pair of straighteners on the backseat could be a prime target for thieves.”
