When it's summer, women don't seem to mind being a bit extravagant, well, a lot extravagant, if one may say. It's alleged that women, during summers, spend not less that 650 million pounds buying summer clothes. Now, one many ask: What makes it extravagant? Well, here, by clothes, I refer to the ones that don't fit them.

According to a new U.K. research, it's been found that one in four Brits spends 50 pounds to 100 pounds on tiny clothes that simply stay in the wardrobe. The study was conducted for Special K.

Many admit they are 'in denial' about winter weight gain, the study claimed, reports The Sun. The research also unfolded facts like, 19 per cent of 1,000 women quizzed admitted squeezing into the wrong-sized outfits. However, 54 per cent said they will diet to fit old outfits rather than go up a size.

The poll dubbed the behaviour Seasonal Wardrobe Syndrome. So, there you go. You get one more word to be added in your lexicon – S.W.S.
