Why is it that women seem to think it's cool to leech on to the next big trend regardless of whether it flatters them or not? I'm a big fan of keeping up to date on my fashion trends (I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of tapered jeans), but I also acknowledge the fact that ultra low rise jeans don't flatter people with excessive love handles (I'm proud of them, ok). So why on earth would women with large backsides feel the necessity to sport cropped pants in flimsy materials that accentuate every ripple and bulge their enormous butt has to offer (when I get the guts to take a picture of one of these lovely ladies, I promise this will be the first place I will post it). Lately, I've seen women courageously stepping out in butt-eating pants that are not only unsightly from the back but also the front (hello! has no one ever teased you about camel toe???). The flimsy cotton culotte style does nothing for the thighs either, ladies. I'm not trying to be catty but I think people need to learn to use the mirror (from all angles) more often.
