Harem Pants: Yay or Nay?

If you have to actually ask people on blogs: Would you wear it?

The majority of the answer is bound to be “HELL TO THE NO“

While I think this is a great contender for one of the worst fashion items ever, I can see that it is a new fashion idea, and could be very well received by many a fashionista.

But just as wearing too tight, too sheer leggings and tights is a fashion crime when you don’t cover your bum and crotch, so is wearing too baggy-butt harem pants.

GOOD HAREM PANTS

• Don’t have a crotch so low that it sags to your ankles
• Don’t look like diapers
• Don’t remind you of MC Hammer
• Don’t make you look like a short, stubby dwarf
• Aren’t only there on a fashion magazine spread to sell anything BUT harem pants
• Are not so bad if you don’t walk. Sitting down, standing straight, or taking tiny steps doesn’t really emphasize how huge the sagging crotch is.

BAD HAREM PANTS

• Makes people do a double-take and think: WTF is she thinking? (Not “WOW look at her outfit!”)
• Makes you look like your crotch touches your ankles
• Gives you umm… let’s say manly looking junk in the front
• Makes you look like your legs have been cropped
• Are saggy in the butt as well and makes people think of diaper pants

The Verdict?

I am still not convinced (nor will I ever be) that I will EVER wear harem pant unless someone pays me some big bucks.

I just don’t get it, if they look like actual harem pants with a baggy front and back that sags to the ground, with these two little stubby legs peeking out.

I don’t see why we can’t just stick to wearing skinny jeans OR a skirt, but not the two shapes together.

Luckily, I have been blessed to have never seen a single harem pant style here where I live, but I hear Europeans (especially the English) are moaning a blue fashion streak across the pond.
