Why We Rated This on for Ages 11 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The show's content is pretty superficial (the focus is on appearance and buying things), and there's some light competition, but not much to worry about overall.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Words like "sexy" and "flirty" are used to describe clothing.

  • Language:

    Occasional "crap" and "hell."

  • Consumerism:

    Clothing store brands are highlighted, like H&M.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About I've Got Nothing to Wear

Parents need to know that this fashion-oriented reality show focuses on clothing, appearance, buying things, and design. While stylists and designers criticize the client's clothing, it's all handled very gently. The designers compete against each other to be chosen by the client -- but again, the competition is gentle, friendly, and supportive. That said, tweens and teens without an interest in fashion may well be bored by the show, which is geared toward an older audience.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the show's messages. What does it imply about the importance of clothes and appearance? Do you agree? How does it compare to other "makeover" reality shows? Families can also discuss the role that clothing and fashion play in people's lives. What do your clothing choices say about you? How much money does it cost to be "fashionable"? What's fun about fashion? What's the downside to paying close attention to fashion trends?
