Women feel fabulous at fifty! Three quarters say they feel more confident in their fifth decade than they did in their 20s
- Nearly half (47%) say they are happier with their body now than in their 20s
- A third have started to workout more in their 50s
- Many (45%) also ditch diets and calorie counting in their fifth decade
- Four in ten report life getting less stressful with age
The old saying goes that life begins at 40, but now British women are feeling more fit and fabulous in their fifth decade, it seems.
After a lifetime of diets and body hang-ups, three quarters of women (76 per cent) feel more self-assured in their 50s than they did in their 20s, reveals a new study.
A third in their 50s (36 per cent) are happier than ever with their looks and one in seven (16 per cent) feel fitter and sexier than ever.
In fact, almost half (47 per cent) are so happy they love their body more now than they did in their 20s.
The research, of 40 to 74 year olds, found women in their fifth decade have stopped calorie counting and turned to exercise to stay in shape.
A third of women (33 per cent) have started to work out more in their 50s and 15 per cent are feeling more energised as a result.
Meanwhile, 45 per cent ditched diets for good on turning 50.
What's more, two thirds of women (66 per cent) spend less time and money on personal grooming once they hit 50.
Social worker Elizabeth Chivers, 52, from Nantwich, Cheshire, who took part in the survey, said: 'Reaching the grand age of 50 means I can finally be who I really am without any concerns or worries.
'My fifth decade has given me a whole new approach to my style and taught me to love my body and live life to the full.'
But it's not just their bodies that 50-somethings are learning to love as 55 per cent said they're now in their most satisfying relationship.
A further two thirds (66 per cent) revealed their finances are in their best ever shape and four in ten (41 per cent) said life gets less stressful with age.
A spokesperson for Cotton Traders, who carried out the research, said: 'It really seems that life begins at 50.
'Our customers are more confident, more satisfied in their relationships and living life to the full in their fifth decade.
'Women are older, wiser and happier when they reach 50 and want to dress to impress in flattering outfits.
'Our statistics prove that as you get older you really learn how to define your style and know what flatters your figure.'
