If there’s one thing the Real Housewives are known for, it’s for delivering looks. While they rocked jeans and sky tops in the early seasons, the style tides slowly turned, and Real Housewives employed glam squads, switched to designer gowns for reunions, and started experimenting with bolder and bolder looks. Now, many of them take wild style swings — think Bronwyn Newport in a hot dog costume or Jenna Lyons‘ bathrobe ensemble for the reunion — regardless of whether they’re at a casual sit-down or an opulent gala.
But do they have certain style restrictions? Are they influenced by each other? How do they prep their looks, anyway? Bravo Insider spoke with several Real Housewives and friends to learn all about how they make their style choices each season.
For The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City‘s Lisa Barlow, the most important style rule to follow is to dress in a way that’s authentic to you.
