Those of you who have spoken with me about the importance of eliminating taco butt know how important this cause is to my designer's eye and heart.  Especially in this season of giving, and more importantly shopping, we can all do our part to eliminate taco butt from our local malls, bowling alleys, Culvers, and Pick N Saves.

So, Taco butt... what is it.  If you are wearing jeans with an inseam (the seam that joins the left and the right side) that is too tight, it manages to work its way between your butt cheeks. Your behind begins to look like a taco shell, so it becomes "taco butt".  So, to all of us standing behind you, your behind now has division and seperation.  Good for up top (ladies, you know what I mean), but very bad for down below.

Jeans are the most common culprit.  The spandex core threads woven into the denim allow for greater flexibility and comfort, but they hold the garment closer to your skin, so deception about the 'true fit' can happen.  Ladies... a hint.  When  you try on jeans, put your foot up on the seat in the dressing room to stretch the denim out a bit, and make use of the three way mirror.  And, if need be, ask your salesperson for help.  I assure you, any denim merchant who really knows jeans knows what taco butt it.  Also, its one more reason to go shopping with your best friend.  I know I would never let my girl Jen walk around with taco butt.

But, all things considered, I think taco butt in men is even worse.  It's very rare to see taco butt in mens jeans, but khakis and dress pants, oh lord.  A man with taco butt that is so extreme, you can see the lines of his tighty whities, is painful on the eyes.  Guys, please please please don't put us through that. Khakies and dress pants should have a good, close fit, but if they are so tight that they are moving their way up your crack, go one (or maybe two) size up.

    So, I expect  you all to take the time to check out your own behind in the mirror, and maybe, just maybe, we can eliminate taco butt in our lifetime.  Stay tuned to my blog!  Next time I'm talking about the worst in fashion fit faux pas... muffin top!
