Have you been spending money on your summer wardrobe?
The weather changes, it's time for some wardrobe updates isn't it?
Well of course it is.
A new survey has however revealed the true cost of looking stylish in the summer heat that has been affecting us all.
According to Lambrini’s Summer Style Report the majority of British women are spending a staggering £800 on clothes and beauty treatments in the current warm weather – with one in 20 forking out £1,500 on outfits alone.
More than two thirds say they splash out more on looking good in July than in any other month.
A combination of outdoor events and big social occasions like weddings means 80 per cent will spend £400 on new clothes, while 89 per cent will book-in for £400 of beauty treatments too.
And if that sounds expensive, one in eight British women interviewed for the research admits spending £800 on a new hot weather wardrobe.
Holidays, hot weather in the UK and weddings are the top three occasions we want to look our best for, followed by BBQs, summer parties and hen nights.
Grooming is seen as a summer essential with women opting for haircuts and colour followed by waxing and fake tan.
Not surprisingly, to cope with the cost, one in four of us now have a specific summer style budget – money set aside to meet shopping and beauty bills.
Speaking about the findings, Lambrini’s Lorna Tweed says: “We all want to look our best, especially when it comes to events like weddings and holidays which means July can be an expensive time.
“What this survey shows very clearly is that even during these tough economic times, staying cool and on trend remains a priority."
