 "Almost half of Britons are mid-spenders and have spent between £100 and £299 on clothes for themselves in the last 12 months. Young consumers aged 16-24, who are increasingly feeling financial pressures, are less likely than average to be high spenders and while they spend more than the oldest shoppers they are less likely than consumers aged 25-54 to spend £300 or more on new clothes."(Mintel,2013)
