Muffin Tops

Muffin-Top

I was recently reading a blog post that used the phrase “muffin tops” while criticizing current American fashion and sexiness in defense of hajib wearing Arabian women. The blogger said: “I’d rather get an eyeful of one of them walking down the street than any of the garden variety trolls who parades their muffin-topped under-dressed corpulence through the typical American mall.”

I loved the sentence but was sadly ignorant to the term, which Wikipedia defines as:

Muffin top (or muffin top girl) is a generally pejorative, slang term for a person, usually female, whose flabby midsection spills over the waistline of his or her pants in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its casing. This generally occurs when an individual squeezes into low-rise or hip-hugger pants and midriff-baring tops that are arguably undersized for the individual’s weight.

I love this term, it has officially entered my daily vocabulary. This fashion trend is horrible. Many of the women (or men) who end up with muffin tops would otherwise be very attractive. Unfortunately, squeezing the midsection can make one look fatter than they actually are. Hopefully this term becomes ubiquitous and the trend is reversed.
