Now, more and more mothers wear the same clothes as their daughters, so people often mistake them for each other. According to a new study, mothers today look to their daughters for fashion（时尚）and beauty ideas. The study questioned 343 mothers and daughters, with an average age of 44 for mums and 16 for daughters.
A report from Temple University, Philadelphia also says that many children act older than their years. But they don't listen to the opinion from their parents in wearing.
Some mothers buy the same clothes as their daughters do. They like the same colour and style as their daughters. They do so because they want to keep as young as their daughters. And now many more mothers compare（与…比较）beauty with their daughters. So a strange thing happens: the woman may look like a teenager from behind, but she is already middle-aged from the front.
The report shows that if a mum is young at heart and fashion, she is more likely to view （把…视为）her daughter as a style expert and copy her. So what are the mothers going to wear in the future? This may depend on their daughters.
