LOL! My fiance & I were people watching at the mall and what we saw was something else. There was one heavy woman - ok maybe a little bigger than me wearing low rise jeans and a t-shirt that just barely touched the top of those jeans. That was OK, until she reached up for something or other. Then you could see her belly, muffin top & her belly button piercing. Gah! It just didn't look right. If you have a nice belly & want to show it off that's fine, but when you are a big girl please don't do that.

And yeah, I pretty much have the muffin top situation even with jeans that are up close to my waist. My waist is proportionally larger than it should be in comparison to my hips. So I usually wear a top that goes down to my hips at least & then a cardigan sweater over that. Yup, keeping the belly covered! :-) At least until I can get to a point where I can take off a few or twenty pounds :-)

I don't know, maybe I'm becoming a prude in my old age but this new generation seems to be showing more skin than we ever did or ever wanted to. It's like a walking porn magazine walking down the street. And it summer it's even worse.

There's nothing wrong with looking sexy and being flirty but there really has to be something left to the imagination for it to work.

As for plus size people I think they can be totally sexy but they can not wear the exact same outfits as their thinner counterparts. It just isn't flattering.

I think mystery plays an important part in a woman's beauty. If it is all exposed there is no mystery there.

I know what you all are saying and I agree that the muffin tops look horrible but I have to say I love low-rise jeans.

I have always had a hard time finding jeans because I don't have much in the way of hips. Men's jeans used to fit me better but were too long in the crotch. I'm short so the new low-rise hit me right below my belly button and actually fit my hips! I love them.

Now the extra-low rise.......how can that be comfortable? And noone looks good showing their butt crack.

I am with Anatasia on the low rise jeans. I have boy hips and men's jeans are much more comfortable for me than anything coming near my waist.

I also agree with Lisa and Moe about jeans being basically uncomfortable. I wear jeans almost never. And when i do, i find them tight after I eat, and confining if I am going to sit too long, like in a car or at the computer. Maybe I need to find the right jeans? I don't know why jeans are so beloved.

I think lower rise jeans - ones that hit a couple inches below the belly button - are more flattering on a woman than the ones that come all the way up to the waist. The waist high ones make women look like they have long flat butts and disturbingly long crotches....now of course the super super low ones that show the entire pelvic bone and that you need to have a Brazilian to wear....those only look good on 22 year old hard bodies with six pack abs and 10% body fat.

But jeans that are too tight and create muffin tops - yikes! Nobody looks good when they look like they're bursting and bulging out of their clothes.


Mother always said that even when things seem bad there's someone else who's having a worse day. Like being stung by a bee or getting a splinter or being chained to the wall in someone's sex dungeon.

I'm with you Jilly. I stopped wearing jeans for quite a few years. Until recently, when I went out and bought a couple of designer pairs. I have to say, the new ones, with about 3-5% spandex are comfortable, even if you are sitting all day or eating. smile

Nothing beats yoga pants for lounging though!

I agree Sofie, the low rise jeans are much more attractive, comfortable, and the don't accentuate the muffin top. I like the inexpensive ones from Wal Mart, just don't put them in the dryer or they shrink

The reason it's so trendy have you priced a Plummer today? They all want that "Plummer Crack" and figure it's the way to make big bucks?

It must be the reason. Sure not pretty in Male or Female.
