What do you see when you look in the mirror - a well put-together fashionable woman or a crumpled disaster? According to a new poll, we Brits are the worst dressed people in Europe.

Even Germans and their shell suits came out better than the British, who were described as looking 'thrown together' and wearing 'crumpled clothes'.

So what's gone wrong? According to Ciao (Mircosoft's price comparison site) who commissioned the poll, we Brits favour cheap togs over quality clothes.

"The Primani habit has led Brits to sartorial disaster," said a Ciao spokesman, referring to the nation's favourite cheap and cheerful store, Primark.

Or perhaps we just work such long hours we don't have time (or the energy) to go shopping.

"Britain is recognised as one of the hardest working nations in Europe - we have longer working weeks and we spend more time in the office than almost any of our European cousins," a Ciao spokesman said.

"As a result we have next to no time to go shopping; we are just diving into the nearest store to grab the first thing that takes our eye."

Nearly half of those polled (44 per cent) named the British as the worst dressed nation. Germany came a close second with 33 per cent, followed by the Spanish with 15 per cent and Italians with three per cent of the vote.

How depressing - we might have to nip into Primark on the way home just to cheer ourselves up!
