May have witnessed the worst "muffin topping" jeans ever today!

I just can't imagine looking at myself in a mirror and actually thinking I looked good.

I think we always look better in a mirror than we actually do in real life. I bet if some of these people saw pictures of themselves from the side or rear, they'd wake up.

I just can't get over how it could be comfortable! I used to wear really tight jeans in the 80s, but the waistline was so high -- practically to the breastbone.

I have to agree, it's like a car accident, you just can't stop staring at them!

"Muffin Topping"????????????? Oh my GAWD that's the first time I've heard that phrase!

I've always wondered about gals that have a beer belly and insist on wearing low-rise jeans with an exposed mid-drift. One of these days I'm going to show 'em my thong!

LOL! I didn't know what it was either, what a great phrase. I have often wondered how these girls/women get the courage to wear something like that with it all hanging out

I am a "bigger gal"--Size 16W-18W. I will tell you that I wear low rise jeans, but only with shirts that cover things that should not be seen Low rise jeans, if worn correctly, can be more flattering than "mom jeans" on overweight people. Also, a very slight flare/boot cut, is better than a straight leg jean for bigger gals.

I am not kidding when I say I have learned sooooo much from the television show What Not to Wear I basically redid my entire wardrobe and it looks like I have lost weight, even though I haven't. The trick is for bigger people to wear clothing that fits. Not too small, but also not super lose and baggy clothes either. Lane Bryant, Old Navy, Tommy Hilfiger, Liz Claiborne, etc. all have very stylish clothing for bigger people. Lands' End has beautiful sweater sets (their cashmere is cheap after the season), but they are definitely a "mom jean" place.

I have noticed many people, large and small, with the ol' Muffin Top. At this point, it is so out of style (sad to think it was ever "in"), that ANYONE doing it looks clueless.

Sitting at lunch, rather large young lady gets up to leave and has to, and I kid not, lift up a fat roll to get her money out of her pocket of her low rise jeans.:

To me men with their beer belly over their too small jeans (I wear the same size as I did in High School) are just as bad. So if men can have a belly hang over why not women? Is there a double standard here. BTW I hate both looks and want both man and women to increase their pants size to fit their belly in their pants not over it.

What would the term be for a man with a big ol' belly who, instead of buying pants with the correct waist size, buys a smaller size and positions the pants/belt under the belly, so the belly can be displayed in all it's glory?

too funny!

I made blueberry muffins this morning and all I could think of was this thread!!

 

[HoneyPooh]

Saw one at the store the other day who had rolls hanging over her jeans and a short shirt hem. She had unzipped the jeans and had the edges tucked in. I guess she thought it made the rolls look better but all it did was make it look like a dam had burst and all the fat was running out the front over her underwear! It was a veritable waterfall I tell you. Yuck and double Yuck. I'm not small and I KNOW that had to be uncomfortable, so why do it?

Sitting at lunch, rather large young lady gets up to leave and has to, and I kid not, lift up a fat roll to get her money out of her pocket of her low rise jeans. I just about spit my drink out, as I had just read the muffin topping thread on the DIS before I left.

Yikes!

The poor girl can't afford pants that fit. You have to pity her I'm overweight, and I know what is and isn't appropriate for my body type, should I make a horrendous mistake I hope I have friends good enough to disavow me of the thought that I look good in muffin topping mode.

I know a man who is bound and determined to exceed the maximum load for spandex because he thinks spandex pants make his butt look good. It's terribly unfortunate that a man in his late 40's with a beer belly the size of a barrel thinks that spandex is the answer to his fashion needs. That's not a muffin topper, more like an entire bakery busting out the top.
