Study found women spend 6 months of working life deciding what to wear. They spend 17 minutes a day, or four days a year, going through wardrobe.

一项研究发现，女性一辈子中，总共要花6个月的时间来决定穿什么。平均每天要花17分钟，一年下来就要耗费掉4天的时间在衣柜前。

It's a familiar scene for most women: staring at your wardrobe with mounting levels of panic about what to wear.

大多数女性都会有这样熟悉的场景：盯着自己的衣柜，却完全不知道自己要穿什么。

After rifling through – and rejecting – multiple items, it can seem like an age before you finally decide on an outfit¹.

选衣服-否定-再选衣服…如此循环往复，等你最终决定要穿什么的时候，时间好像已经过了一个世纪。

So it may not come as a surprise that a study has found women spend almost six months of their working life deciding what to wear.

所以，当有研究指出女性会花费一生中6个月的时间来选择着装的话，就不会令人感到那么惊奇了。
