How Do I Look? is a show of improvement served in Style Network. The event was originally hosted by British soap opera veteran Finola Hughes; the latest season is hosted by celebrity stylist Jeannie Mai. The show features "fashion victims," ââsupposedly submitted by their friends, coworkers, and family members. Although there are variations in each episode tailored to each contestant, each episode follows the same underlying pattern.

Each episode begins with a short montage that introduces the subject of a makeover. Contestants are usually victims of a combination of fashion sense and poor lifestyle situations that exacerbate the problem. Makeovers often coincide with turning points in a person's life, such as starting college, changing careers, or losing weight. Two "henchmen" close to the contestant express concern over the negative effects of contestants' performances in their lives. The accomplices express their view that the contestant's physical appearance is socially unacceptable and can only be improved through the application of new clothes, new hair and new make-up. Accomplics openly expresses their contempt for the clothing and style of choice that contestants have made until now. The compromised may be family members (spouse, parent, children, siblings, etc.), friends, or co-workers.
These two men will join the third accomplice, a professional stylist. Together the three went through the entire contestant's wardrobe, each choosing a piece to throw away. Accomplices will be realistic about the type of contestant style and they will also criticize it.
Hosts and contestants will then face the accomplices who will then detail their reactions to the contestants' cabinets. In the first season, the accomplices are limited to just one item, but in subsequent seasons, they are shown moving many or many items. Contestants often feel depressed and hurt when henchmen pull out favorite items and criticize the style of contestants, although some are more open to change than others. The host is often seen throwing clothes into a tube. Contestants have the opportunity to respond to criticism and make requests related to change.
Contestants then have one-on-one conversations with the hosts about the reasons behind their clothing choices, feelings about criticism, and fear and hope for the rest of the makeover. The segment ends with the host sending an accomplice to shop for clothes. Sometimes, shopping periods are paired with special trips to contestants that reflect their needs. Trips like that include a spa visit, dancing lessons, and therapy sessions.
Each leg is given $ 1,200 to spend on a collection of three outfits for contestants. Two of the three outfits must match the themes defined by the lifestyles and contestants' needs and are generally titled with the play or cliche phrases played on these elements. For example, an episode featuring a Marlena McTigue teacher includes a clothing theme "Making a Class." The last outfit in each collection was "Wildcard," the clothing that made the accomplices feel the need of a contestant's closet. In some episodes, the collection must include elements from the contestant's original cabinets, as in the episode featuring Karen Maruyama in which the accomplice is asked to pair a pair of shoes from the existing Maruyama collection. Each collection also includes a new set of makeup and hairstyles. Participants must select a collection and accept it entirely.
The next day, the host and the contestant watched footage from the shopping of each auxiliary foot. The tape was deliberately deceiving, showing no clothing included in the final collection. Accomplices will often return home in clothing in color or style to which the contestant has expressed a certain dislike or clothing similar to the one they just thrown away. Hosts and contestants react accordingly.
During the next segment, contestants are presented with each complete collection. The host introduced each dress, and then both of them reacted. At the end of each collection, the host presents the makeup and hairstyle chosen by the accomplice. Hairstyles are described in terms of celebrities with similar styles.
The presentation segment is followed by a fashion shoot where contestants try each outfit, comment on clothing, and then guess which legs collect each collection. Beginning with the third season, the subordinates watched the shooting footage behind a one-way mirror, and we saw them reacting to the victim's comments about the clothes they were trying. After the segment, a one-way mirror will die, and make the contestants startled.
After the shoot, the contestant selects the collection. They are taken to a salon to match hair and makeup. Salon scene in typical makeover mode, with the contestant's face only shown in close-up to keep the contestant's decision and the final look a surprise to the end. Sometimes, the last close-up shows enough hair or makeup to spoil the shock, especially in episodes where each of the accomplices has chosen a different hairstyle to customize their collection.
The last segment starts with another host meeting with three accomplices. They each discuss their spending decisions for the last time. They join a small group of additional family members and friends of the contestants. The contestant then enters the room on the catwalk, asking, "how do I look?" They were asked to make a final guess about who created the collection they chose.
Contestants are often given extra prizes. Sometimes these gifts are part of an ultimatum in which contestants have to choose between a mystery gift and a piece of beloved clothing, the next time they rely on a contestant to exactly guess the creators of the selected collection. Often, however, reward bonuses do not involve additional criteria. A typical gift is a $ 1000 gift certificate for a new wardrobe, but the reward is sometimes more tailored to the contestant. For example, a contestant known for hiding behind glasses can receive contact lenses for a year.
Ad breaks are often trailed with segments featuring quick mode tips directed at the audience. These tips are often a solution to common mode faux pas and presented either by the host or the episode event organizer.
