I can't wait for the big butt fashion to be over.

[fallacy]

I'm more 'straight up and down', and slightly apple when carrying a few extra pounds, so the current trend for bottom-heavy hourglass figures is totally unobtainable for me.

I'll be glad when it's over, selfishly!

I'll also be glad to see the back of the massive lips with tiny pointy chins.

Aibu to expect the trend to die soon?

I watched Sharon Osbourne the other night in Who Do You Think You are - she looked stunning but.... a bit plasticky. She was being information by an older lady in the US with wrinkles, long wavy grey hair, hardly any makeup. loose baggy dress, and found myself thinking the older lady from the US just looked more attractive somehow, more expressive, more characterful. But I'm an old gimmer so I don't know if a younger person would agree.
Fascinating programme btw.

Never mind big a$$ed big lipped tiny pointed chin women, when will apples have their day? I mean the ones with mum tums even if they have had no kids!

Bloody Kadashians, can't one of them have a silicone tummy pad or something. Let's make big tummies the thing to have!

It will fade away just as the boob implant trend did and the orange skin trend.

I have quite a sizeable bottom so I’m on board with it .

a good portion of the attention being given to the women who engage in body modification is actually negative. I know there are people out there buying products from the kardashians and such, but there are many (dare I say most, who knows) who have nothing nice to say about them or the people who try to be like them. I’m skeptical over the claim that they are actually considered fashionable.

The trend came at the wrong time for me.

I am a classic pear shape and would fit the trend now, but don't care about it. When I was at school, the trend was for very skinny legs and a small bum. People used to make comments to me that my legs were 3x the size they should be for my body, thunderthighs, etc......

If only I was in school now, I'd be popular LOL

I have absolutely no arse at all. I'm fit, do weights and squats and all the things designed to give you an arse and still have nothing there. Even the PT at the gym agrees that my body type is "pencil".

I'd love a big old bum to fill my jeans.

I think the lips thing is getting a bit out of hand. LI Anna's sisters Instagram look like a bee stung a baboons arse.

If I was a teenager now I would feel very inadequate tbh.i was the opposite of what the trend is now.As it was I was a teen in the 90s when all you needed was boot cut jeans and lip liner to be accepted

But why do you need Z-list celebrities to have big bums in order to make you feel good about your own well padded arse? I know they are only throw away comments, but this is where teenage girls are getting it from. Yes they are being bombarded on social media, but the body insecurity comes from much closer to home.

I have what they call a 'bubble butt' but I've not had fillers or lifts, the only liftings I do is a bar bell when squatting.

If you want a butt, you need to squat.

Bollocks. Not everyone who squats will get a bubble butt

It never was a trend in my mind - I completely ignored it!

Unfortunately pre teens don't ignore trends so easily

the planet is dying and this is what some women worry about?

Can't you just love yourselves as you are?
Be individual.....do men want these plastic lookalikes? and why else do you care?
fashion is the most meaningless activity ever, be it body or clothes

Yeah it's all for the menz

I don’t understand why would anyone choose to have a large bottom. After my pregnancies all the weight went straight to my bottom, I worked hard to get it back. I know I’d be called a pancake bum but it looks better in dresses.

I was unaware that there was such a fashion - apparently I have been bang up to date. I wish I'd known then I wouldn;t have been desperately trying to hide my large bum and pear shape with big shirts and tunics.
My sister is an up and down figure (we are both 60+) and I have always envied her slim hips, and she has always envied my small waist and hippy shape. I guess no one is ever satisfied with what they have.

@fallacy That's a classic example of someone unwilling to actually train for the body they desire. Instead you'd prefer to moan to strangers online.

Oh do one @ButterflyOne1

You have no idea what training I do 🤣

I don’t understand why would anyone choose to have a large bottom.

Oddly enough... I think sometimes genetics comes into it so its not so much a choice as it a natural state. Curious that isn't it.. Reminds me of a poster who once felt "sorry for tall women". Quite bizarre, really.

Having a large amount of oestrogen pre menopause can be a factor in beng a pear shape. I know I have large amount of oestrogne because I've had oestrogen fed breast cancer. My sister has a lot less - and she has had problems connected with lack of oestrogen.
Noone else in my family is pear shaped - only me - I am no less active nor do I eat a worse diet than any of them. It's just luck of the draw.
At times in my life I have been severly underweight - I still had bigger hips than bust.
It is bollocks to say that you can train to have the body you want. Venus and Serena Williams have different body shapes - both are top athletes, both very toned and fit and athletic but Serena has an obviously more 'curvy' body.

But MN is full of smug people who like to say if you don't like the way you look it is your fault.It is amost always more complex than that

I think it's ridiculous that one 'shape' must be in fashion at any time rather than just catering to different body types.

I hate the trend for celebrities (starting with the Khardashians of course) enhacing themselves far beyond their natural shapes, usually trying to make themselves look more ethnically ambiguous which is very dodgy (compare Kylie then and now) profiting and being celebrated for shapes that women of colour (and big-bottomed white women!) have tradtionally been told was undesirable.

I am a narrow-hipped, thick waisted woman with great abs that used to be very fashionable and now are not especially. I'll get over it, just like everyone with curvy shapes had to when that look was out of style.

For what it's worth I regularly squat 70-80kg and my bum has never grown, I'm just not built that way.

Couldn't give a toss about what the trend is now or ever. I have a body shape and it is what it is.

I am glad for once that fashion is celebrating curves. Instead of unhealthy skinny bodies, You know the unhealthiest shape is the apple don’t you OP?
