What's the Story?

WEAR WHATEVER THE F YOU WANT is a makeover show hosted by Stacy London and Clinton Kelly of What Not to Wear fame. Here the hosts return to "do it right" by helping a spectrum of people find their unique style to make them feel beautiful and empowered. Rather than tearing people down, they are listening to the stories, circumstances, and life stories of their makeover clients, and really working to make them feel confident. Stacy and Clinton help their clients pinpoint a more extravagant/elevated look and a curated "everyday look." The personal stories that the clients share are unique and touching.
