What Not To Wear Review Summary

What Not To Wear “is full of information about fashion, how to dress for your age, what colors work for skin tones, and how to dress your particular body type.” Are you in a fashion rut? Then it’s time to start watching What Not To Wear where viewpoint reviewers are already getting tons of new ideas. This Reality TV show on TLC is hosted by two fashion experts, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly, who bombard an unsuspecting Fashion Victim who has been submitted to the show by a friend or family member.

Wish you could have a makeover, but scared it might be brutal? — Then live vicariously through people who get a style update, without subjecting yourself to any trauma. Occasionally a few of them will have the exact same problems as you (hair that you're afraid to cut, short… read full review »

How trivial can we get?

NOV

2007

I think that focusing on a person's physical appearance is very belittling and mundane. — I don't think our looks and fashion are anywhere near as important as how we treat others. — There is rampant rudeness and they embarrass the person they are following around with… read full review »

My fave show of its kind -- love you Stacy and Clinton!

2007

I have loved What Not to Wear even before Clinton came aboard...sadly, Wayne Lukas, though a truly talented guy was probably a little too offbeat. — I think this is actually a public service. I am serious. People do not understand, in 2007, the importance of their public presentation, and hw their appearance does impact others' perception of them. Anyone who says they don't care is kind of tragic. Please care. And take a lesson from Stacy and Clinton. Clinton is simply a charming, generous man and Stacy a true fashion maven..though I don't necessarily… read full review »

This is a very entertaining show. Stacey and Clinton have the persons best interest at heart. Sometimes they may seem harsh, but some people need a wake-up. It always amazes me just how much clothes and a nice haircut can change someone. On this show you are not disappointed. I have used some of the advice they give. Most of us feel we have a body part that is not flattering. Stacey and Clinton wil show you how to draw attention away from that area or minimize the look of the trouble spot. Nick (most of the time) gives the perfect haircut. Some… read full review »

Hwo to transition from your 20's to your 30's

FEB

2008

I just found this show last week and I love love love it! The three episodes I saw really focused on helping women make the transition out of the juniors section of the stores, and into the dreaded women's section. Most of the stuff they say not to wear is in my closet right now, which is what sparked my interest. They went on and on about this girl wearing a Mickey Mouse T-shirt, and I have three of those! What I love most about the show is they help you realize you can look hip and trendy and still dress appropriately for your age/profession. Sometimes I think they are a little off with… read full review »

I think this show is great. I love Stacey and Clinton. They always seem to know exactly what they are talking about. While they can be brutal, they are good at what they do and they really seem to care about improving people's self esteem. The make up is also great. I am not always so sure about the hair choices though. My one complaint about this show would be that Nick doesn't seem to know very much about African American hair. Perhaps they should have more than one stylist for just such… read full review »

This is a great show to watch. The hosts are not there to make fun of the participant but to help them. Some people just do not know that they do not look their best. A lot of people think that dressing younger makes them look younger. The hosts show them that dressing younger actually makes them look older and then steers them toward clothes that will make them look… read full review »

Clinton and Staci at times give great advice. But at times they need to look in the 3 way mirror and take the advice they give to themselves. I don't agree with 100% of their makeovers but 89% they really make a good change to the people on the show. … read full review »

This show is so much fun to watch! The way that some people dress is so funny, and so are Stacy and Clinton. I do agree with the fact that some of the comments they make to people are a little harsh, but in the end I think it helps most of the people. I would love to have the chance to go shopping and be on that show! I think I could endure a couple of days of being criticized by those two for the opportunity to go on a shopping spree!!… read full review »

I look forward to watching this show each week. I even stay up late to catch it. It is full of information about fashion, how to dress for your age, what colors work for skin tones, and how to dress your particular body type. I really like the Stacie and Clinton, but sometimes I can't believe they said that. I would hope that they realize they are ripping someone's sense of self to shreds. They are often catty and belittling. Yes, I know that they are trying to help but do they really have to be so demeaning? I have issues with the people being made over.

Stacy & Clinton are witty and hilarious in how they associate their clients with their clothing choices. I also like Carmody's make-up tips. I love getting the info about appropriate styles for my body and face type. — I still feel out of fashion most of the time, however, after changing some of my style choices due to seeing someone else with similar wardrobe pieces and body style, I find myself getting more compliments than stares. — Sometimes the comments Stacy & Clinton make are harsh, but the idea is that the individual has agreed to listen to their advice and when they… read full review »

I love this show because it lets you see how you can really appear to others, while thinking you look fine in your own mind. It made me really look at my wardrobe and go out and buy some decent clothes for my body type. I love watching them take someone and transform their appearance by just changing their hair and what they are wearing. It is fun and opens the door to more opportunities for them all. It is especially helpful to those going into a new career field on showing them what to wear for it. It is really enjoyable and I love the play between the hosts. … read full review »

It would be hard to have that all put out on national TV but I don't think I've ever seen anyone not happy at the end. We all get into a "comfort zone" and something like this would definitely break you out of that. I would absolutely love to not only have someone give me money to shop but to tell me what kinds of things would look good on me specifically. It's fun to take the style tips from the show and experiment with them. If any of my friends would nominate me for this show, I'd be in NY in a heartbeat. — We don't realize that what we wear has such an impact… read full review »

Stacy and Clinton always look great, really have a terrific sense of style, and seem to "practice what they preach". By the end of each show they have always transformed even the worst dressed and biggest style offender into someone with a sense of style. I especially like that most of the participants don't have that perfect, super-model figure, they are just regular people with regular bodies. When you see someone with your body type or coloring it helps give you tips on what might look good on you. I also really like seeing what Nick… read full review »

TLC's What Not To Wear is a working blend of good and bad. The hosts, Stacey and Clinton, can be brutally honest with their critiques of a person's wardrobe and dressing styles, especially in the dreaded 360 degree mirror. While completely stripping a person's closet and their self esteem at times, they in turn try to teach them the correct and most flattering way to dress to look their positively best. Between shopping, the hair and make up makeovers the crew usually ends up successfully changing the guest's entire outlook on their life. — It's an entertaining way to spend 60 minutes… read full review »

No, I don't really want to be like Stacey, but I would love her wardrobe. I get great tips from Clinton and Stacey. My only problem is I usually don't have the money to purchase such great clothes. Someone please give me a $5,000 Visa Card!! Yes, they can be a little harsh, but in the end the participant is usually grateful for the change. I enjoy watching the transformations. And the old clothes don't get thrown away, they are taken to… read full review »
