The Tribes of Man is the first episode of the third season of What Not to Wear UK. This time, fashion experts Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine are looking to bring some style to two stylists who have put all their energy into helping other people but have forgotten to take care of their own fashion needs.
As the episode begins, Michelle and Kerry are introduced - two business partners who manage their own hair salon. Michelle is described as having a "mum bun" and doesn't put much effort into her appearance. She feels she doesn't have a lot of time to put together a fashionable look in the mornings. Kerry, meanwhile, is always wearing black and white, and feels like she can't break away from this color scheme.
Trinny and Susannah invite the two of them into a studio where they have to strip down to their underwear, which is a reality check for both Michelle and Kerry. It's clear that neither of them feels comfortable being in just their underwear. Trinny and Susannah assess their body shapes and pick out a few key items to create a more flattering shape for each of them.
Next, the stylists are given a challenge by Trinny and Susannah: to dress up an outfit that they would normally wear. It quickly becomes clear that neither Michelle nor Kerry has much fashion sense, and this task is a real struggle for them both. They both find it challenging to create an outfit that suits them and isn't too plain or boring.
Trinny and Susannah then take the stylists out shopping, giving them a budget of £200 each to find a new outfit for their salon's Christmas party. They are taken to a department store, where they are each given a personal shopping assistant who helps them navigate their way around the store. It's a tough decision, but after some deliberation, Michelle and Kerry both find outfits that are a big departure from what they'd normally wear.
Back at the studio, Michelle and Kerry are transformed into chic and stylish women. Trinny and Susannah are thrilled with the result and feel that they have given both of them the confidence to shine. The stylists are happy with their new looks and feel that they can take on the world.
The episode ends with Michelle and Kerry showing off their new outfits to their colleagues and receiving compliments all around. It's clear that they have both transformed into more stylish, confident women, and it's all thanks to Trinny and Susannah.
Overall, The Tribes of Man is a fun episode of What Not to Wear UK that showcases the transformative power of fashion. Michelle and Kerry are both likable and relatable, and it's easy to root for them as they go through their fashion journey. The episode is full of great fashion tips and advice, making it a must-watch for anyone who wants to up their fashion game.
