Since 2003, Clinton Kelly has been shocking women across the country with cold hard truths about their fashion choices on What Not to Wear! Rachael asks him to bring his expertise to Macy's dressing rooms in Manhattan for ambush-style makeovers on unsuspecting shoppers and Clinton is up for the challenge! Get his top tips for making great choices during your next shopping spree!

Great fit equals great style. "The biggest component of style is really finding perfect fit, because if your clothes are too tight on you, you look like a stuffed sausage and if they're too big you look schlumpy and dumpy!"

Know your proportions. "A lot of women don't really understand their bodies and what shapes will work best on their body ... Ideally you want your upper half to look as though it's the same size as your lower half. You never want to look top heavy or bottom heavy, and you want to accentuate a waist when you can."

Embrace your figure. "You have to look at your body if you want great style ... and don't get yourself down if you don't have a 'perfect body' - nobody does."

Expect to have to alter new clothing. "Don't get frustrated if clothes don't fit you perfectly off the rack, because clothes are designed on an hourglass dress form that's about a size 6 for a woman who is about 5'8". You know what percentage of the population that is? About one, if that! So you can't get frustrated, but do get yourself a good tailor! You want to make sure that those clothes do fit you perfectly."
