We can likely all agree that the college years were not our most stylish, but beyond that? It stands to reason that just like everything else, your fashion sense ought to peak at some point. A recent investigation by a British company set out to tackle the question and came up with an answer: A woman is at her most stylish at age 30 (men take longer, not peaking until 36).

The contributing factors include confidence, a general knowledge of self, and earning power—by 30 we're all more likely to have moved up the rungs at work, taking home larger paychecks and with it, the ability to spend more on our clothes and accessories. At this age ladies average 212 pieces in their closets, with 24 pieces of jewelry and seven pairs of designer shoes. The 30-year-old wardrobe is pricier than before too, registering just shy of $11,000 (the shoes alone are worth nearly $3,000).
Everyone's going to be slightly different, both in when they feel the best and how much they spend shopping, but it makes sense for the big 3-0 to count as your feel-good fashion year. It's a milestone birthday, and plenty of women will report feeling a real sense of self when the new decade rolled around.
Hitting it soon? Study up on the 10 pieces every woman should have in her closet by age 30.
