I’m with you GillianS, I’m always worried I’ll be spotlighted in any of those negative news pieces…stuffing my face with cupcakes or with clashing clothes. I still like the phrase “muffin top.”
I always worry about being caught in one of those news specials about obesity where they film people from the neck down from the back. I’m not obese, but that is never a flattering angle. I never knew the real worry was to end up in one of your guides! Yikes!
Ohhh the muffin. I remember this look cropping up left and right about halfway through the year each semester of college… right about when freshman girls put on those first 10 new pounds but didn’t want to admit it. Visual agony for the rest of us.
Visible Panty Lines
Low Rise
I am so sick of seeing guy’s butts in full view…their underwear at their waist but their jeans falling to their knees, that I am about to start a petition to end it once and for all. It’s not attractive, it’s not cute and it’s really over. You can’t think this looks good, really?
Way too Low Rise
Acid Washed
I see some people still wearing acid wash despite the fact that it went out of style 20 years ago. I know people are into wearing ‘80’s fashion, but this is too much. There is a way to modernize retro, and acid wash is not it. Stay away. Stay far away.
Acid Washed Jeans
Bleach
Faded jeans are pretty taboo these days, and I think the randomly placed bleach spots are just as bad, if not worse. They widen your legs in the wrong area (who wants a wider thigh?) and they run out of style far faster than a classic pair of good fitting, dark blue jeans.
Randomly placed bleach (and a weird guy in speedo)
Diesel jeans make a guy’s butt look great. Good investment.

Buy New Jeans!
Visible Panty Line
Mostly a problem for women, the visible panty line can just ruin your look. This is why g-strings and SPANX were invented. Really, who wants to be picking a wedgie all night? Trust me, the VPL is not a good look and no one can get away with it.
Carpenter Crack
This used to be a male phenomenon, but with so many people going commando and so many low rise jeans, it’s everywhere, regardless of your sex. Listen people, put on some underwear. And low-rise be gone!

The Visible Thong
Whether you call it a G-String or Thong, it was invented to keep panty visibility to a minimum. Therefore, when you can see the string of your panties above your jeans, it really defeats the purpose. Again, I blame this on low rise jeans. Sometimes, you can go too low.
Thong butt
The Muffin Top
This is simply a case of buying pants that are too tight. Then, you roll over the waist forming a ‘muffin top’. Not flattering on anyone. This can happen to the thinnest of people if they buy their pants too tight, or, once again, too low. Proper fit is crucial.
Too tight, aka Muffin Top
The Tight Roll
It’s not too often you see someone wearing this dated fashion trend these days, but I have to warn you not to do it, in case someone tries to bring it back. This is why boot cut was invented..it slims you! Tight roll..does not.

Men in Skinny Jeans
Only Iggy Pop can pull this off.
We know you’re thin.

That isn’t called a tight roll that is called pegging.
LOL – that’s hilarious! I know lots of people who could use this guide. I’ll give it to them!

Ughhh muffin top! This guide is fabulous…hope people read it and follow your rules!
I don’t know what is funnier, Your Guide, or imagining you spending hours surfing the internet looking for ugly butts. You are brilliant!
And then there is the that tight jean fetish… One has to buy them in the girls department for a reason.
Haha…great guide of “not to do’s”!!!
