whats the deal with harem pants??

this season we saw the revival of the harem trousers,most people think these are a new concept but they were actual seen in the 80's its a fine line between them looking like oversized nappys or a smart casual trendy trousers!


but can everyone wear these?! i doubt it to pull these off you have to know how to dress the look, make the trousers match the rest of your style to avoid it looking like 'i know these are fashionable so im gonna wear them' make them suit you and your individual style!!


i also see these trousers often in jersey, this is a very casual look trying to dress these up really wouldnt look right, try a pair in cotton with a low waist and tapered leg( i grabed a nice pair for £3o from topshop!bargain) these can be worn with heels or flats with a slouchy tee tucked in and maybe a blazer over top for a cool look that could easily be carried on to night time chic!perfect!!

but what does everyone else think?? should these 80's wonders have stayed in the past or are we welcoming the revival of the harem??!

personally im all for the genie like style! done right of course :)

heres a couple of my favorites.....



these volumous pair are from ralph lauren, this shows how the harem can look casual yet smart! slouchy not slobby!!

i also like the 3/4 length leg (great if height is not on your side) as they help to make the legs look longer although always wear with heel the higher the better!!









great pairs are also avaliable from the highstreet with TOPSHOP,ASOS.COM, RELIGION,URBAN OUTFITTERS being amongst my favorites!



heres a pair i love from french connection (avaliable to buy from ASOS.COM) for £28!!!!!!!


prime example of how to harem trousers can look stylish!
