Advantages: Boosts confidence

Disadvantages: Only ever promotes one style

I've caught this show a few times, and while the premise is sound I really don't like the execution.

The idea of the show is showing women how to have confidence in their appearance, and to dress to flatter their shape. First off I think this makes a mockery of the title, which is clearly designed just to get attention. Gaining confidence might be helping these women feel good when naked, but the fact of the matter is they look exactly the same naked at the end of the show as at the start.

The show is presented by Gok Wang, who seems to build a good raport with the women, but I hate how he dresses them! They all look like cheap and nasty carbon cut outs from the New Look window. I have never seen him give one of them a different look other than current high street fashion, the consideration that some of these womens looks and personalities might suit a more classic look, or a shape that maybe isn't hot on the high street right now doesn't enter into it.

Also I think there needs to be more done with men, most men languish either in fashion oblivion, or try to follow new trends slavishly, regardless of body shape (hands up anyone who hasn't seen a barrel shaped 5 ft 6" gent in drainpipe jeans looking appauling).

The tv show has been a huge success, and there are now several books under the 'How to Look Good Naked' banenr as well. While I wholeheartedly approve of anything that makes women feel empowered and more confident, I don't think making them into drones slavishly following the high street and always in need of a new fashion fix is the way to do it. I believe most of the empowerment and morale gained by the women in the show comes from the one to one attention, rather than learning how to dress.

Summary: Fun telly for those involved, but of limited use to anyone watching
