Confusion is what comes in ones mind when one talks about female attires, and more the confusion when one, from the fairer sex, has to chose on what she has to wear.

A new poll that involved 2,491 women finds that women spend almost one year of their lives deciding what to wear. Are you surprised? Well, I am not, and especially when I've grown up seeing some thing like this for all these years' of my life.

According to the study, out of all the women involved in the research - 2,491 women - an average women spend 287 days rifling through their wardrobe. According to them, women, on average, spend 16 minutes every weekday morning deciding what to wear, and around 14 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday morning.

"What you wear has a direct impact on how you feel about yourself and it is important a women feels exceptional in her outfit," the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for clothes giant Matalan, which compiled the results, as saying. He adds: "Whatever the occasion your clothes portray an image and we understand this is fundamentally important to women.

The study was based on an adult lifetime from the age of 16 to 60. It showed that most women would spend around 20 minutes deciding what to wear before hitting the town on a weekend night. The change in the time spent on choosing clothes, however, varied on other days. For instance, during weekends, the time span is more as compared to the week days.

The study also found, on average, women will try on two outfits each morning before coming to a final decision, and that one in two women spend 15 minutes the night before working out what to wear.
