elebrities may lead

the way in big

fashion blunders,

but even when they have a ghastly outfit on they tend to stick to the golden rules of style, such as not having a visible panty line (VPL) or showing off muffin tops in all their glory.

This might not stop them from getting wasted and showing off their panties to all and sundry, but at least they start off by sticking to the rules.

Muffin tops are bottom of the class: If you squeeze your belly, however bulgy or small it might be, into a pair of trousers or a skirt that's too small, your belly has no other option but to overspill. The result is an ugly muffin top, which you can make out of the smallest of bellies if you wear the wrong size.

Whenever anything cuts into your belly or even feels snug, it's too small. When trying things on, sit down to see what happens to your belly, as muffin tops are at their plumpest then.

Cleavage in all the wrong places: In a similar situation, if you wear a bra that's too small, your boobs will spill over into your armpits, which isn't the kind of

cleavage that blokes go for. You will also probably get ugly muffins in your back too.

If you've been wearing the same bra size for years and your weight has crept up, you're probably wearing the wrong bra size. The key is to make sure your bra is the correct size around your back and that you adjust the straps to allow for more room in the cups.
