Beige /tan pants ...don't wear them (women only)

[Bella the Ball 360]

Okay I noticed this quite a while ago and now it is time to share. Many times I have seen women in beige/tan/Kakhi pants that are too tight on them. When one looks quickly they look naked. It occured to me one day when I was sitting in the car waiting for my husband to bring back an ice cream. There was a woman in line and she was heavy and she had on beige pants. I had to look twice b/c she looked naked! I then realized that when most people wear this color pants others can see what they look like naked if they are too tight(and no way was I eating that ice cream either). I have shared this theory with many of my friends who laughed at me but slowly they realized it was a color to avoid. In fact,one of them who was a size 4 ignored my warning. She found her self in a photo that was going to be displayed on a wall in a lobby when she looked she was horrified. She begged the photographer to touch up or take her out of the photo but he could not. NOw all of my friends boycott beige pants. Scoff, or laugh but slowly people will realize that unless the pants are very loose, people can tell what your butt looks like naked and most times it is not a pretty sight. Dimples belong on the face.

I'm so glad this only applies to women. I'd hate to get rid of my tight tan pants.

Well, if they have contrast stitching and/or pockets so that you can clearly see that they are pants would that be ok?

But yeah I can see your point about tight stretchy ones. Remember stirrup pants? Picture some tight beige/tan stirrup pants. Wow.

So what was the problem with the photo for the friend? Was it a picture from behind?

If you have not learned this already.... guys can imagine, with amazing accuracy, what is underneath.... no matter the color. Hehehheheheee well black is harder. You have all seen the picture comparison between black and red biker shorts, right?

NOPE picture was from befront.

I am not talking about guys imagining b/c truly guys would not even try to imagine what I am speaking about unless they have the desire to poke their own eyes out. . I am talking about bulges, dimples and celulite in the color beige. I am talking about the world in general. It is like pollution for the eyes. I guess if people want to wear them, they should wear a long top over.

I won't look naked when I wear tan pants. I spend so much time by the pool that my skin is red and leathery. Plus, my hair is so frizzy people spend more time staring at that than my pants. I'm too cheap to pick up hair-care products anyway. I'm saving for a budget trip to Hawaii.

YOu got it! Gross huh?

I dunno; might be a nice distraction from the foot-wide muffin top hanging over the waist.

So are you telling us that your pants have a red leathery tint to them? So you're wearing leather pants and you claim to be saving for a budget trip? Just buy some bicycle shorts.

From the OPs description I'm picturing someone who's more bottom-heavy. So maybe they don't have muffin top but stuff it all in their tan pants.

I wonder if they are mom pants. Maybe that's the problem.

No, no, no.

When I wear my tan pants, I look like your average, run of the mill, 37 year old mom.

But, that's my disguise.

When the pants come off, I am HOT! Like a supermodel, without the starvation look. A goddess, really!

Don't be fooled by the decptive looking pants.

It's not in my budget. Trying to get DD # 5.7 through state school.

 

[MushyMushy]

Beige, black, blue, brown... it's all the same to me. I still haven't found the miracle pants that will make my butt look fabulous.

But I won't give up!

 

[Briarmom]

I have had to look twice a lot of times because at first glance I think the wearer is naked.

I never could figure that out. Does 5.7 mean 5 plus 7/10 of a year or 5 plus 7 months.
