Is anyone a fan of this programme? In the UK it used to be presented by Trinny and Susannah, who were great. They were pretty ruthless when presented with a badly dressed person, but the results were always good - everyone looked so much better after the Trinny and Susannah treatment!
I love watching this programme because it shows that what you wear really can have an effect on how you feel about yourself. You can really see at the end of the show that the contestants are a lot more confident in their lovely new clothes, than before when they had drab and dowdy ones.
My biggest 'fashion' bugbear are 'chavvy' clothes. I'm not sure if this term is used in the USA, but chavs tend to wear branded tracksuits, scrape their hair back with masses of hair gel, wear huge hooped earrings and plaster on the make-up with a trowel.
'Chav' style is one that is a huge What Not To Wear in my books. An interesting website on the phenomenon:
