What Not to Wear Season 3, Episode 11: Charlie Hughes

Kerryellen Kelly

Kerryellen, a computer programming expert, believes in wearing comfortable baggy clothing, arguing that since she spends most of her time crawling underneath desks fixing other employee's machines, she shouldn't wear nicer clothing that will get dirty while she's on her hands and knees. Kerryellen's friends and family think she has a self esteem issue and doesn't like to show off her body. Stacy and Clinton help her come out of her shell a little more and find outfits for work and off hours that are flattering and practical. On the grooming front, Kerryellen freaks out when Nick decides to tone down her blonde locks and dyes them a dark reddish brown, which she hates. In a show first, after the reveal to Stacy and Clinton, but before she goes home to her family, Kerryellen goes to Nick's salon and insists that he make her a blonde again.

Will is a 25-year-old from Alabama who needs to drop his hillbilly fashion tendencies for a sharper, more professional look, especially to be able to cut it in his new job.

Stacy and Clinton have to convince Will that his extra-large polo shirts and oversized pants are not the way for the new guy at the office to look. Will also has a sock problem: all his socks are white and athletic — and he's wearing them with dark leather shoes! Last, to make sure that Will can make a great first impression, the WNTW team introduces him to an etiquette instructor who teaches him the subtleties of the proper business handshake, the confident walk and the memorable introduction.

Jennifer Freeman

Jennifer, 25, is a new mother and a successful, full-time nurse. With a great husband and a loving family, why is Jennifer still dressing like she is 14? Perhaps it has something to do with her love of shopping in the juniors section; maybe it's her habit of wearing clothes that are so big she drowns in them, or outfits so small that her daughter could soon start wearing them. Whatever it is, Stacy and Clinton have to help this young lady's wardrobe catch up with the rest of her life, while Nick takes care of some overgrowth on the top of her head.

Stacy and Clinton need to develop a look for Chris that makes him presentable while retaining his individual style, and they need to persuade him to try it on.
