'If you can't beat them, join them', goes the saying. And British women are certainly living by that mantra when it comes to their height.
We may be some of the shortest ladies in Europe, but we're compensating by wearing the highest heels on the continent, according to a new study.
Following in the footsteps (literally) of stiletto-mad celebrities such as Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole, British women are now tottering around on an average heel height of 3.3 inches.
That's almost one whole inch more than the petite women of France who, favouring a heel of 2.4 inches, wear only the fifth highest shoe in Europe.
Hot on the heels of the Brits, preferring an average height of 3.2 inches, are the women of Spain, while Danes wear 3 inches and the Germans 2.7 inches.
The study comes as British women are revealed to now be among the shortest in Europe, with the average 18- to 29-year-old measuring in at 5ft 4ins (163cm).
Our German counterparts are tower over us by five centimetres, at 5ft 6ins, while the Spanish are just one centimetre taller than us.
