Ugg boots are high on students'' shopping lists.
24 September 2009
Despite recent reports of mounting levels of debt among students and problems with loan applications, an Adfero street poll has found the majority of female students have no intention of cutting back on their expenditure.
The survey in Leeds city centre looked at how young women are intending to adjust their shopping habits.
While almost a third (30 per cent) said they would cut back, 55 per cent said they had no plans to do so.
The other 15 per cent were undecided, but admitted that they may decide to reduce their spending at some point.
Meanwhile, the poll also noted a number of trends for the winter, with a quarter of respondents admitting they would splash out on flat-soled boots, while a similar number intend to add leggings, jeggings or tights to their shopping baskets.
A fifth also plan on investing in false eyelashes and fake tan to help them look good at university.
As if to back up the findings, women''s magazine Grazia recently reported that there is a "major footwear war between Uggs and Vivienne Westwood pirate boots" occurring in Leeds.
