At 55, British women get confident about dressing up: Survey

Dressing with confidence takes time for sure, but a study shows that women can take as much as 55 years to be confident about their sartorial elegance.

Jacques Vert Group conducted a survey with over 1,000 participants. The research shows that 55 is the optimum age a woman starts to dress with confidence.

As many as 85 percent of the participants aged over 55 said they would feel confident to dress for a special summer occasion - twice as self-assured than a woman half her age, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"It takes time to find an outfit you're happy with and that suits you. So, presentation is the key as is advice from friends and stylists - that way you can avoid fashion faux pas," said Amanda Lester, brand director for Jacques Vert Group.
