Zee revealed her closet through a video she posted on her social media accounts. She acknowledged how everyone has been curious about the styling process and the behind-the-scenes POV of how she picks out outfits, saying, “Everybody does wonder if this is like provided clothing. It is not. We are responsible for buying. I rent almost everything.”
As an advocate for sustainable fashion, she emphasizes the fact that she has owned several pieces of clothing for over 12-15 years. She captioned her Instagram post with a shoutout to her stylist Johnetta who helps maintain her clothes and remove any signs of deodorant! The caption said, “Big thanks to @johnettatao for always making my repeats, secondhand purchases and rentals come to life.”

Battling Internet trolls with style
With all the love and support Zee receives from viewers all over the country, there are inevitably many trolls and bullies who have commented on her appearance. Regardless, Zee deals with her naysayers with just as much confidence as she does while styling herself.
The trolls are often men behind the screen making rude comments like this one: "@Ginger_Zee ginger, I watch good morning America in part for the weather, not for your latest fashion and not for you showing your thighs through slits in your dresses. Is there any reason why you don’t stick to the weather?"
Zee’s response to this was: “Oh Rick — my dress is professional and appropriate and no matter what I wear I always stick to the weather… and then I talk fashion… and sustainability… and exercise … we are all complex human beings. Hope you have a great day!”

Zee once again highlighted how it is important to bring sustainability into daily conversation along with the fact that women’s professional work is often neglected because of their physical appearance. The meteorologist will proudly continue being a part of the 'No New Clothes' challenge, which she has promoted for over a year now.
