Clinton Kelly
Clinton Kelly is a fashion consultant and media personality, best known for his warm humor and stylistic flair as co-host of TLC's makeover reality show What Not to Wear.
Prior to becoming co-host of What Not to Wear, Kelly honed his fashion sensibilities and expertise while working as a freelance writer and editor in New York. Following stints as contributing editor at Marie Claire, and deputy editor at Mademoiselle, Kelly became the executive editor of DNR, a weekly magazine for the men's fashion and retail trade.
It was while working there that What Not to Wear decided to recast its male lead and reached out to Kelly. After three auditions and two short weeks, Kelly joined the program as co-host with Stacy London.
A man who's biggest fashion pet peeve is "the casualization of America," Kelly advocates that "If you don't have fit, you don't have anything." He emphasizes the importance of learning the basics: shoulder seams should sit on your shoulders, your jackets should always close, your buttons shouldn't pull and your pants' hem should hang about a half-inch from the ground. After hosting What Not to Wear for over four years and 100 episodes, he has reached the height of fame debunking fashion myths, offering smart shopping tips and making over some of fashion's biggest challenges.
