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 have been genetically blessed with the big bum...I only just recently discovered that it's "on trend"! First time in my bloody life I've ever been trendy!

It looks bloody awful. Why anyone would actually want a great big arse is beyond me. Hate the duck look as well.

Did the big butt start with Nikki Manarse?!!

I'm looking forward to fat knees coming into fashion, I'll be on POINT.

Instead of unhealthy skinny bodies, You know the unhealthiest shape is the apple don’t you OP?

Which is wonderful for naturally skinny apple shapes like myself to read. Can't you be glad without putting down other people?

As a woman who is naturally shaped like that I don't want it to ever go out of fashion!

As a bigger boobed and hipped woman I'm just pleased that stick thin isn't in fashion. 100% natural here

If you want a butt, you need to squat.

Nope. 2 and a half years squats with weights and barbells and still no arse. My body just isn't designed to have any arse. I've got legs forever and arms Madonna would die for, but still no arse.

Nah my bum is enormous (and my waist pretty small, think 40 inch hips 26 inch waist) and I used to seriously struggle to find stuff that suited /fit well. If I could get anything over my bum it would be massive everywhere else and I was very self conscious of it and used to exercise to try to shrink it, avoiding squats like the plague and not eating very much.

I love the big bum trend, long may it last!

I just want the cosmetic surgery trend to be over!

All bodies are fantastic whatever the shape! Not all big bums are fake and skinny does NOT necessarily mean unhealthy.

I'm petite with small boobs and considered a boob job back in the day but I learned to love myself the way I am. I wish everyone could love their natural bodies, it's dangerous to see what young women are doing to themselves these days re surgery.

“All I see everywhere is bum implants. Perhaps I need to bin Instagram”

Well, you’re definitely paying a lot of attention to this

Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

My arse is disproportionately large and I do wish it wasn’t but at some point, you just let go of all the appearance shite.

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?

Yeah I did thanks. My bmi is 21 so I'm ok thanks.

Perhaps my OP should have been slating the current for cosmetic alterations.

I really don't like the idea of any one body type being 'fashionable'. I have a 25 inch waist and 40 inch hips. I keep that sort of proportion regardless of gaining or losing weight. But I was young in the 90s, when a big butt was something absolutely nobody wanted. As a young woman I hated the way my body looked and wore baggy clothes to hide my shape. I'm glad I don't feel that way now, but I don't want other women with body shapes unlike mine to feel that way either.

"All bodies are fantastic whatever the shape! Not all big bums are fake and skinny does NOT necessarily mean unhealthy."

This.

i hate we are celebrating a particular shape.because naturally there will always be those that dont/shouldn't be that shape.we should love and cherish all shapes because ones persons boyish figure is their health proportion to another persons big bum and boobs. this is what w are doing with our diet and body culture always making one form lacking,lesser,shamed.
we should be celebrating health if we can but more so celebrating all.big small even to the extrees becasue all people are stugggling with shit.if you help them just feel good about who they are then the body and healthy size can come.because you want to be the bet you can.what we are doing to food/weight/looks is ust disugusting a tthe moment.and watching woman never mind girls and boys trying to go through it is awful.

You know the unhealthiest shape is the apple don’t you OP?

You're conflating body fat disposition and body shape.

Body fat disposition is where you will gain weight first and lose it last - there are only two types - apple and pear.

Body shape is the shape of your body at a normal weight, and includes hourglass, atheletic, statuesque, petite etc and all sorts of subcategories.

I'm a tall, balanced hourglass, with apple weight gain disposition.

YABU, for years I've been trying to disguise my big arse and boobs.... I'm going with it for as long as possible

I put weight on all over equally so perhaps I'm not actually an apple.

Personally I long for the day that natural body types aren't going in or out of fashion, so that women aren't on self-esteem merry-go-rounds their whole damn lives.

This time though, fashion has a surgeon.

Even worse then, that some without the body type feel pressured to get themselves cut up for the sake of fashion and others feel shit.

I think that this subject will be discussed forever, but it's pointless really, as some women,and some men ,will always be wanting to enhance their bodies/faces, when in actual fact, a lot of them look far worse,or even gross, after any surgery.

What is needed,is some brain enhancement instead, to restore their minds, of getting rid of all these ridiculous obsessions they have,to alter their natural bodies and faces..

As someone with a big bum, I’m pretty pleased that I can buy trousers that fit. It does seem to be all about the bum though, so dresses are still annoying when you’re a more hourglass figure.

I agree with the number of PP's that have said that I hope to see an end to plastic surgery for purely cosmetic reasons. It makes me very angry to see cosmetic surgery advertised on television, especially when the ads were all about having breast implants and sad that the women on the advert speak of how little self esteem they had until they had the surgery.

My youngest sister (15yo) is make-up mad and will do amazing things with it that I can't even begin to attempt, but it does worry me that she is becoming entrenched in the belief that wearing make-up like a mask (altering her facial features using the various techniques they have today and then adding even more filters when posting to Instagram) is healthy and that it may lead to her looking for more permanent alterations when she is of the age to get these. All I can do is keep a dialogue open with her that is as balanced as possible between how it is fantastic that she has such a skill with make-up, but that it isn't something she needs.

I'd prefer (and I'm sure most would) a world where a body is just that, a body, of course people have their preferences when it comes to the 'laws of attraction' but not to have them packaged and branded into the latest fashion trend. I never really used to pay attention, but since my Dsis has had her share of body image issues and then having DD two years ago (just about) I've become a lot more aware of how potentially harmful these images being constantly displayed to younger minds can be.

I'm in the healthy weight range for my height, but large bummed, wide hipped and have large-ish breasts, I have a short torso, long thick legs and broad shoulders, and wobbly overhang from my C-Section. Trying to find clothes that suit (and match when required!) is a massive PITA :') let alone clothes that 'flatter' me, so it would be nice for clothes to be made to fit natural existing shapes and not the cartoonish exaggerations we see in the media.

YABU. I have an hourglass figure, with a big bum! I’m loving that my figure is ‘in’ right now.. not looking forward to tiny Kylie bums being back in

All figure shapes, if healthy should be in. The rest is just media and fashion spin.
