Stop That Now! Or, Why Brights Really Aren't Slimming

It's time for another round of Stop That Now! - my findings of fashion don'ts that must, in the name of all things good, be stopped immediately.

Today:
Why black should be your bottom's best friend.

You have to be thin as a toothpick to wear light colored, extremely fitted sweat pants and not look like a sausage trying to squeeze out of its casing. Obviously, there is a lot going wrong with this outfit, starting at the top with the too-tiny tank that has to be cutting into her lung capacity. But those pants. Those pants! Wrinkled rears are not attractive. On that, I think we can all agree. So why share yours with the world?

Clothes are meant to accentuate our finer points while camouflaging the areas that don't scream runway model body. And yet, I see so many women making their "hiders" the main attraction for the viewer. Loosen up the material a tad, sweetie. And turn to darker colors for your lower half. You don't look like sex, sex and more sex, as I believe you are trying to convey. You look like you fell asleep in those clothes after an all-night Ben & Jerry's binge and woke up three sizes larger.

This is why I find white pants a scary proposition. Thank goodness it's past Labor Day.
