Queer Eye Guy of the Week: Tan France

Tan France is one of the Fab Five members on the very famous show Queer Eye. The Fab Five go into men's lives who are struggling with daily successes, like self-image and confidence. Each member specializes in one topic, and he is fashion. The men always have issues with dressing because they often come to the Fab Five very self-conscious, or simply do not care enough to dress well, and this is where Tan and his brilliance about fashion come in. Tan offers up tips and buys each guy a brand new closet full of appropriate clothes to wear in public. He dresses them to match the new found confidence that lies within each of them, Tan says, “As a stylist, my goal is to help people be the best versions of themselves”, and he achieves this very thing every episode.
