Fashion Talk

I've started noticing an interesting fashion in jeans. You know the low-rider jeans that young women wear? The kind that are unflattering even to the most slender woman because they hug the hips and cause a little bulge of fat?

As you can imagine, that style is not particularly associated with Muslim dress as it rarely covers the woman's mid-section all the way around, especially when sitting. I've noticed a strange alteration to the style. Several times I've seen women wearing pants with two waistlines. The lower one is the low-rider height, and there's another 4 inches or so of fabric on top, complete with another set of belt loops. It preserves the look of the low-riders without revealing the skin.

Incidentally, I think they look nicer as the waistline is at the natural waist rather than the widest part of the hips. And they don't have that yucky roll of fat.
