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. Some viewpoints reviewers think hosts of What Not To Wear can be mean-spirited and hurtful. Even reviewers who like the show agree that the hosts can be catty and belittling, however they still wouldn’t mind getting on the show just for the fashion tips and $5000 in free clothes. “It's fun to take the style tips from the show and experiment with them.” If you like Fashion, tune in to What Not To Wear and then watch designers create new fashion statements on Project Runway.

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 thighs, a long waist, wide...

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 secret cameras.......  what a terrible...

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 agree with all of their choices (I...

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 of the cuts are a bit extreme for... review »

I get wonderful clothing and accessory ideas from these guys.  I don't think anyone does it better.  Two things I'd change:
  1. The 360 mirror part of the show could be shorter.  It's a little drawn out and some of Stacey and Clinton's comments are a little unneccesarily harsh.
  2. Why can't Stacey and Clinton go on the FIRST shopping trip so that these buffoons don't end up buying yet ANOTHER pair of polyester tye-dyed cullottes?  I mean, it's like watching the blind lead the colorblind.  Let the pros take them shopping FIRST and then let them out on their own.  Geez.
What I can't get enough of:

Stacey and Clinton are out to beautify the world. And they do a darn good job of it. Their style tips and hints are awesome. I often find myself in the dressing room mirror pretending that I were in the 360 mirror with the fashion-savvy pair and they were criticing me. What Not to Wear is the best fashion show I've seen on television. Stacey and Clinton do not hold back when it comes to bad fashion at all either. After just a couple of episodes you will find yourself starting to critique and following their rules when buying clothes. One of the best rules I have learned (and it is a good one) is...

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 what... 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 situations.

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 good.

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.

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!!

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. If you're not willing to take the advice,...

Okay so since I became a stay home mom... I started flipping through channels for good daytime shows...and this hit me! I am officially addicted.  Okay okay it may seem like an unimportant another makeover story kinda show... but really I think they are onto something here!!!

Stacey and Clinton may sometimes be blunt and rude sometimes but I find it absolutely necessary for some of their guests.  You know what they say about first impressions...I think every impression should always be like a first impression... people have fallen of the wagen when it comes to taking care of themselves! I see...

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 don't they should accept...

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.  Sometimes they appear mean...

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 on how the world perceives...
