I thought these were some good points, and I sure see these around town. Got any fashion emergencies you see around you?
What's the first jean hazard to watch out for? The dreaded "muffin top" or, as Oprah calls it, "dunlap" syndrome. "That's when your stomach done lap over your jeans," she jokes.
The "muffin top" is caused by a waistband that's too low and too tight. When your tummy spills over the sides of your jeans, you know you're a member of the muffin club.
But, there's good news for muffins everywhere, Stacy says. Waistlines are rising! The ultra-low rise fad is fading fast, and the new mid-rise styles will keep your belly from bulging.
Low-rise fans, hike up your pants and take note of Stacy's next warning.

Unless you have a tool belt strapped to your waist, there's no excuse for plumber's crack. Women who wear low-rise jeans are often guilty of this obscene offense, Stacy says.
Before you crouch, be sure to pull down your shirt and hike up your pants. Otherwise, a full moon may be rising in the grocery store aislesfor everyone to see!
You don't have to be a mom to wear "mom jeans."

If the waistband of your jeans could double as a push-up bra or your backside looks flatter than a flapjack, you're guilty of wearing "mom jeans." Stacy thinks these high-waisted horrors are cardinal sins of fashion.
While moms may not want to wear their daughters' trendy, low-rise jeans, there are plenty of brands out there that cater to mature women with good fashion sense.

I've heard the "Plumber's Crack" thing by a gal wearing a thong referred to "Whale Tail" because what you see of the thong looks like a whale's tail sticking out of the water.
I made my niece mad one day. She had on a pair of those really low-rise jeans and she was constantly trying to pull them up. I said something about wearing jeans that cover your butt makes it so you don't have to constantly tug at them . . . she knew I was right, but didn't like her uncle pointing that out to her.
"Mom Jeans" look a lot better than the "Muffin Top" things.
