But I can't be silent any longer. This trend has got to die. Please, people, please... please stop wearing those tight jeans that barely hold onto your ass and push all possible fat deposits up above the waistband to make rolls.
This is where my understanding and sympathy breaks down. Because while I can grok the idea that girls feel a lot of pressure to fit in and wear what everyone else is wearing, what I can't get is how anybody looks into the mirror and thinks, "Aw yeah, that looks awesome." It so, so does not. This fashion trend can take the most average-weighted person and make them look like they are carrying fifteen extra pounds around their waist. It takes girls who are skinny and makes them look like they have a spare tire. It takes girls who are average and makes them look fat. Let's not go into what it does to girls who really are carrying extra pounds. And it makes all of them look like they are about to lose their drawers around their ankles.
I should note that it's not the appearance of looking bigger than they are that I object to. Of course women of all shapes and sizes have their own personal beauty that is not at all dependent on conforming to society's idea of the correct body shape. I think and hope that, perhaps, we are finally evolving past the notion that we all have to look a certain way or be a certain size in order to be acceptable.
It's the fact that the look is so universally unflattering that stumps me. It doesn't look good on anyone. It makes every single person who sports it look like they can't figure out if their clothes fit them or not. This is made worse by the idea that these ass-jeans have to be paired with a tight spandex top that may or may not actually reach down to the top of the jeans. I swear if I never see another person trying to rock this look it would make me happy, but since I see at least ten a day I don't hold out much hope for it ending soon.
Is it such a crazy notion to just wear clothes that fit you? Just wear ones that fit. That's all I ask, people. Take a good look in the mirror, realize how awful this look is, and wear clothes that fit you. It's for the good of humanity, as well as my own personal sanity.
