Tight jean wearer.... muffin tops belong on muffins, not people

Have you ever seen someone wearing jeans that are 5x smaller than what they need to be wearing? And you just wish someone would enlighten them that their muffin tops hanging over the sides do not in any fashion compliment them? For those of you who don't know what a muffin top is let me educate you. BAM! Look below.

They aren't really too hard to miss. Muffin tops are the fat that hangs over the waistline. The only place muffin tops belong is on muffins not people. So here are some helpful tips on how to avoid the muffin top syndrome according to e-how. 


1. Wear clothes that fit all of you. Your hips may fit a size 8, but your waistline is busting out of a ten. Wearing clothes that fit your whole body prevents the restriction on the abdomen, which leads to a muffin top.


2. Wear a size larger. The long-standing myth is to make yourself look smaller by wearing smaller clothes. Well, this is how a muffin top is formed; the tight waistline constricts the belly fat, pushing it up and out of the pants. Find your size, and then go up one. Contrary to belief, a size larger is flattering on a woman's figure. The clothes lay on the body, accentuating it, not clinging to it for dear life.


3. Get rid of the belly fat. There are several ways to rid the abdomen of the fat that causes a muffin top. Weight training, cardio exercises and eating well are a few ways to reduce the belly fat, and eliminate the muffin top.


4. Banish those low rise jeans. They were once thought to prevent a muffin top, but low rise jeans actually create one. Go for the mid rise jeans which have an added bonus: they prevent the showcasing of your underwear to that world--an unwanted feature of low rise jeans.
