Two Styles that I Just Don't Like.

There are a few looks/styles that I dislike greatly, and I feel the need to get couple of them out here.
So I decided to make an entry on "Two styles that I just don't like", and use myself as the example, since I don't want to be meaner than I already am, and go search for pictures on internet with the styles in question. I am not talking about hair and make-up right now, I'm talking about clothes alone.
I would like to highlight that these are MY opinions and I am not pointing at anyone specific, and if you disagree with my views and opinions, that's cool. If you agree with them, that's cool too.

I'm going to start with the lesser of the two evils. Let's go!

1. Tight, low-rise jeans with a short top/shirt.

I have to apologise immediately and say that I don't have tight, low-rise jeans myself. I do have skinny jeans (which I used for the photos), but they happen to be the right size for me, and are actually almost waist-high.
Now, when I say "tight" I mean: "Too small/tight for the person wearing them."

So here's me with my tight jeans and shortest tops, looking like an idiot.

I guess it doesn't look too bad in the picture, because (like I said) I buy clothes that actually fit me, and are not too small.
BUT THIS:

Pink line = the top's hem, Red line = how high the jeans usually are, and Cream line = imagine that being skin instead of jeans.

Is something I see surprisingly often, and it disturbs me.
First of all girls, I can see you bum crack. I don't like it, and it does not look good.
Secondly, your love handles will show.

Pointing out where the love handles are, and would be with tighter jeans.

There is a few easy ways to fix this problem (problem still being short tops and tight/small jeans causing unnecessary love handles and flashing bum cracks):
- Pull up the jeans or get bigger/higher ones.
- Get longer tops or pull the top down.

See? Fixed!

And in my opinion it looks immediately nicer.

2. Leggings with a short top/without shorts/skirts etc.

I actually had to go and buy leggings to do these photos because, as my closest friends know, I can't stand leggings, and think that they very rarely look good on anyone.

The most important thing I want to point out about leggings is:
Leggings are not trousers.
As a kid I used leggings as long-johns during winter UNDER my trousers. They are NOT trousers. I can't stress this enough.
When I see someone wearing leggings without anything on top of them, I immediately think "Oh, poor person. I guess they were in a hurry and forgot to put on the bottoms."

It's also extremely hard for me to take people seriously when they wear something like this.

Before anyone starts ranting to me about jeggings and other fashionable leggings, let me say: THIS, what you are seeing in the picture above, is what I see most often.
Not jeggings, not wet look leggings, not leather leggings, but normal, black leggings that are not particularly thick.

And the first problem with them?

Honey, I can see your bum and undies.

Which is really something I'd rather not see everyday.
Secondly: camel toes (these happen with jeggings, wet looks and leather leggings as well, believe me).
I did NOT want to take a photo of that because I just don't like it at all.
And still all the girls that insist wearing leggings with short tops keep sporting camel toes. Very Cool. NOT.

I understand that some people find leggings extremely comfortable and all that jazz, and that they like to wear them everywhere: gym, clubs, school etc.
In drama and dance I keep seeing people in leggings and, okay, that's cool, you can move in them easily and they don't get in the way, but. BUT. When we get onto the floor to stretch or do push ups... the amount of undies I've seen can't be counted with my fingers and toes.

Once again, there are some VERY easy solutions. Easiest being this:

Wear shorts on top of your leggings.

Looks so much better, and other people don't have to stare at your bum/camel toe/undies.
Or wear a skirt, or a top/dress that really (and I mean REALLY, not JUST) covers your bottom.
You wouldn't wear only tights, and a top, would you?

Spring is approaching fast and the sun is shining outside, and I just have the feeling that I'm going to start seeing these two styles a lot more soon... and it scares me.
So please girls, consider my points and think about it x)

Now I'm going to do some stretches so blog ya later~!
