Depends if they are comfy to wear. I wear M&S jeans described on the label "sits on the waist" which are great for me, I stopped wearing low ones on the hips years ago, although I dont have a muffin top, just a smaller waist and larger hips! I may try these on and see how they fit, sometimes clothes look better on than off, and I find the George brand seems to suit my figure (or lack of it!) LOL :)
