Ep 8. Chris Love

In season 3 episode 8 of What Not To Wear, Stacy and Clinton come to the rescue of Chris Love, a 25-year-old musician from Virginia. Chris has been wearing his signature heavy-metal look for over a decade, despite the fact that he has outgrown his goth style and needs a more professional image for his music career.

In the beginning of the episode, Chris presents his wardrobe to Stacy and Clinton. He wears black clothes from head to toe in almost every outfit, with heavy boots and large chains. He admits to feeling insecure about his body and hides it underneath baggy shirts and pants. Stacy and Clinton quickly realize that they have a tough case to crack since Chris is very reluctant to let go of his favorite clothes.

To start off the makeover process, Stacy and Clinton encourage Chris to embrace colors and patterns in his clothing, instead of just wearing black. They also introduce him to the world of slim-fitted clothes, which would flatter his body shape better than baggy clothes. Chris is apprehensive at first, but he slowly begins to trust their advice as he tries on different outfits during the shopping segments.

Throughout the rest of the episode, Stacy and Clinton work on improving Chris's grooming routines, hair and facial hair. They also urge him to invest in a pair of high-quality shoes, and teach him how to accessorize his outfits. The goal is to take Chris out of his comfort zone and into a more sophisticated look that fits his life as a musician and young adult.

As the show progresses, we see Chris's confidence grow with every new outfit he tries on. He learns to appreciate the importance of fit, quality, and personal style. Stacy and Clinton continually cheer him on, while also giving him constructive criticism when needed. By the end of the episode, Chris unveils his new look for a performance at a local club.

Overall, season 3 episode 8 of What Not To Wear, titled Chris Love, showcases the transformations that can occur when someone is willing to listen to fashion experts and try new things. Chris Love learns the importance of dressing for the occasion and is able to elevate his look without sacrificing who he is as an individual.
