how to not be you (part 2): what not to wear

[@mollym4005]

I hate how the "stylist" give everyone the same style instead of teaching people how to make their own aesthetic look more fashionable. Basically they should be giving styling advice and teach them how to match and accessorize within their own aesthetic. Instead they make everyone look like they work at a bank

[@Arri7979]

Exactly! The show would be way more interesting if they worked within the person's fashion sense and tried to make it look more aesthetically pleasing to the person wearing it. There would be more variety in outfits for this show and I think it would be cool to see so many different fashion choices showcased with just a few tweaks. Does a show that you're describing exist because I'd love to watch it!

YOU CAN BE MUSCULAR AND FEMININE. Vicki deserved real style tips, not a lesson in how to cover herself up. She's a beautiful, strong woman, who worked for her body- it's a shame to only compliment her when it's all put away. REAL style tips for someone with this body shape who comes in wanting help dressing more feminine (which is what she did) would include things like this: wear shirts and dresses that cinch in at the smallest part of your waist, and define it with a belt. It helps accentuate the hourglass figure, and draw the eye away from broad shoulders. You DON'T have to cover up or hide muscular arms to be feminine!!!

[@pastelbaek]

thank you for this comment. I’m not muscular but I do feel like my shoulders are very broad and i do like being reminded of these tips. Thank you for not making people with similar body shapes to mine feel ashamed for something we can’t control!

[@emmalake1653]

@@pastelbaek your body shape is beautiful, and absolutely feminine. Victorian style included early examples of dresses that exposed both shoulders, as these types of sleeves made it difficult for women to do much more than sit and embroider or sip on their tea. Broad shoulders were sought after as an alluring characteristic of femininity, and they showed those things off! Style is constantly changing, and different body types will move in and out of fashion. However, true femininity really shows through only one thing- YOU! It's all about how you use what you've got, YOU are what makes you feminine. ♥️

As a stylist, this was super torturous. They have no idea how to dress these women. And what gets me angry, is that theyre not styling them on what theyre style is based upon.

She said in a podcast that she had to dress in a way that would make her look relatable and safe to approach, so she basically was instructed to wear those items.

She also has allowed herself to be less stuck in her own fashion idea over the years and if you look for her on YT there's a video where she explains how she became more open-minded.

[@AATCgal]

i think the prices are there cause they get a budget of 1000 dollars to spend or something like that

[@ecbelle]

I think the outfits are terrible, horrible, really bad. Even considering the fashion at the time. Take for example the yellow jacket outift. So we have bright yellow, turquoise shoes, a huge black bag, and if I remember a very somber and muted blue and green dress underneath? There's no matching going on whatsoever. The general rule of thumb is three colours at most in an outfit and one has to be a neutral. They almost never use solid colours, even though that should really be the majority of your wardrobe. I won't argue too much with the silhouettes, but apparently everyone should be wearing wrap dresses and high heels, which is not everyone's style. Also, and I can't stress this enough, there is NO consideration for age on this show. A 22 year old shouldn't have to dress like a 32 year old. They're basically still teenagers. Let them wear jeans and crop tops. Or mini skirts or more involved styles like lolita or punk. I honestly think I'd be a good host for this show, haha. I love fashion and helping others REFINE their style, not just stuffing them into acceptable after-office drinks wrap dresses with costume jewelry

Omg the demin jumpsuit was great. She just needed some accessories. This show takes away their style and makes them into corporate worker clones. Jeez, they could take elements and incorporate "modern" trends.

I was a kid throughout the 2000s so idk but- is this like-This can’t have all been normal adult clothing it’s...It’s all so boring and awful. I don’t really remember all the adults around me dressing so badly.

[@TheQwertzguy]

4:36 "Make every aspect of your life as bland as possible in case you run into someone from work" some solid advise right there 🙄

[@darkartsninja]

Why did I think this show was so cool when I was in high school?

[@nol6382]

I thought that people come there to make they’re style better eg: I like tomboy things so you find tomboy things that looks good together or whatever. Why do they all look like the same client leaving? I personally think that some of the outfits the contestants come in with looks better than how they left.

[@GMira-archive]

The jumpsuit was actually cute, maybe it could have more accessories to complete it. But this show overall is just awful and felt degrading at the same time...

[@eggaroni]

The yellow coat outfit and the grey top/beige skirt made me heave. What in the name of last chance, target clearance rack are THOSE??

[@ulexite]

Oh man the stylist saying "and gender appropriate" at 8:12 has to be the most agressively cishet thing ive heard in a while, i felt attacked. 😂

[@lunamellow5123]

omg please make more of these. i used to watch this religiously when I was like 8 and watching it now is so hilarious with your edits. all the clothes they choose are awful like wtf hahahaha

[@evafinkemeier4111]

What Not to Wear wasn't super terrible in its own time but it had aged terribly in its hyper judgmental attitudes, and also looking back on it now I'm amazed at how every outfit in every show, every one, always looks like it came entirely from Macy's, every single piece including jewellery and purses. And I even enjoy shopping at Macy's a bit, but jeez, I don't want to look like I came directly from their catalog. Blaaaand!!

[@Isalengruber]

stacy only has two moods. the "omg your style is too much we gotta fix u 🙄" and the horrifying "sHuT tHe fRonT dOoR😱😝"

[@kekedarius4957]

She could definitely pull off a big yellow drop shoulder wool coat. I think it is actually really stylish. It is just that this particular coat was too bulky and seemed too big rather than oversized... It looked like it came from a thrift shop and it was the only coat they had and she was in dire need of one.

[@SonicFlutterWonder]

They aged Noelle 20 years, her style before was so cool I'm going to cry

[@noodlemarie9514]

With that jumpsuit.. she was ahead of her time, everybody wearing jumpsuits today! and all of these *transformations* look exactly the same

[@MrMeow1234321]

For real. She looked great in it! Cant believe they thought that dress would be better for the club? A church lunch maybe.

[@arianaweinert7869]

As a kid I DREAMED of being on this show and would watch every episode as they aired. Looking back now just shows how cringe it really was. Stacy has actually gotten really cool since leaving the show though, which is better than nothing.

[@Squanchita306]

4:44 she's off the clock let her live

[@Phoenixx1127]

Her face @8:55 screams "dead inside"

[@avahardy6074]

Okay I’m late to the party but I have real actual beef with how they treated that bodybuilder girl, specifically how they scoffed at her requesting Victorian clothing. Female bodybuilders and strongwomen were very much a thing in the Victorian era, and not only were these ladies ripped to hell but they were gorgeous and extremely feminine! The fact that they didn’t even try to listen to her request and dismissed her when she asked about it just pisses me off to no end. Alright rant over

[@andreajasyl2655]

5:57 WHAT IS THATTTT, IF I SAW SOMEONE WEARINF THAT ID BE SO CONFUSED, AND THE YELLOW JACKET DOESNT GO WITH THE DRESS AT ALL

[@summer3545]

The clothes lol like they were bought at Ross or TJ Maxx bit at their original prices

[@sarahbenaaziz8261]

The dress Vicki wears accentuates her arms, which makes her body look not in proportion with the dress. SHE ROCKS HER BODY AND GREAT FOR HER 💪

[@Sleipnirseight]

That rainy, tropical intro was pretty 🦋

[@AlexandriaSWest]

All these outfits look like something Karen is yelling at a Kohls manager about wanting a discount on.

[@Vans_1907]

The club dress for jen is seriously like AWFUL. She looked adorable in her jumpsuit ❤️

[@johnkerr2121]

in 2009 i thought the fits they put together were SO HARD lmaoooo i can’t, 2009 was a mistake

[@ursamjr4406]

0:57 she told no lies

[@areyoubewhy4457]

Y’all as soon as I saw 5:40 an “oh noooo” escaped from my mouth 💀
