Muffin Top

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Generally pejorative, Muffin Top (or Muffin Top Girl) is a slang term for someone who wears both tight fitting low-rise jeans (or pants) and midriff-baring tops. For people not sufficiently slim, the resulting spillage of skin at the midriff is often said to resemble a muffin top (see picture for comparison).

In an attempt to avoid the Muffin Top, and to appease the gradual shift away from low-rise, manufacturers have introduced mid-rise jeans which come up higher on the waist and eliminate the Muffin Top. Mid-Rise has proved popular across North America and manufacturers have also introduced new styles of High-Rise jeans.
