I’m a sucker for binge watching, and one of my all-time favourite shows is Desperate Houswives. For those of you who have never watched, Desperate Housewives is a 2004 TV comedy-drama series that follows four women who are neighbours on the mysterious Wisteria Lane.
Here is a YouTube link to the trailer:
To say this show is filled with twists and turns is an understatement. On top of the drama, what makes the show addictive is the creative and hilarious characters. By the end of episode one, you feel as though you’ve known the characters for years.
The four main characters are Bree Van De Kamp, Susan Mayer, Lynette Scavo and Gaby Solis. Each housewife is unique, and though they seem to be polar opposites, they somehow are the best of friends.
For some lighthearted fun, I’m going to rank the main housewives from my favourite to least favourite styles.
1) Bree Van De Kamp

Bree is an obsessive-compulsive and controlling housewife, obsessed with order, cleaning and preparing freshly baked goods. I may not dress anything like Bree, her outfits on the show are, as she would say, pristine. The costume designer pays attention to every little detail, down to the flip of her hair. I rank Bree #1 – her brand is consistent and clear!
2) Gaby Solis

Gaby is the epitome of glamour. Gaby lounges around the house in $1000+ dresses with jewelry to match. She always has her hair blown out, makeup done, and is the envy of Wisteria Lane. I vote Gabby #2 for best dressed.
3) Susan Mayer

Susan’s style is fairly basic – jeans and a weather appropriate top. Susan is all over the place, and when it comes to her relationship with her daughter Julie, it’s fair to say Julie is the one doing the parenting. Susan’s basic style makes sense, but it is really nothing special, so for that, I rank her #3.
4) Lynette Scavo

Lynette is a full-time mom. She doesn’t have the time to dress glamorously, she has four kids (all under the age of four) and they will not let her forget it. Because of this, most of her clothes are stained with baby food and wrinkled. Normally I’d never persecute a mother for that – but for the sake of this blog, I unfortunately have to give Lynette the bottom spot of #4.
