Howtodresslike.com is a a fever-dream combination of WikiHow and the vision of artist and author Emily Spivack. It's a weird mix of earnest, genuine fashion advice—with many entries that feel like they're written from the perspective of a teenager. Who else needs to worry about things like "How to Dress in All Black Without Worrying Your Parents"?

While the site surfaced within the past few days, it's really just a collection of every preexisting, clothing-related WikiHow post. If you're unfamiliar with WikiHow, it's an archive of posts giving advice on how to accomplish simple tasks, like how to setup your iPad, or how to do a proper sit up.

That said, it isn't the most reliable source if you're figuring out "How to Dress Like Drake." In the case of Howtodresslike.com, one trip through the archives, and it's glaringly obvious that the posts are filled with style tips that are are as innocent and awkward as a teenager's internet diary.

Even Spivack herself is confused by some of the entries:

"They all just feel off-kilter," Spivack told i-D. "I get the sense, from the pop culture references, that they're written by tweens."

While the site is charming in it's own way, this is not the place to sort out your wardrobe dilemmas. We'd recommend you take any advice with a massive grain of salt.
