Harem Pants, one of the type of pants that I like a lot.First met this pants on a blog shop and totally in love with the style.
Harem Pants, also known as Drop Crotch Pants.
They are baggy long pants tapered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area. The popularity of harem pants increased in the late 1980s (Wikipedia, 2010)
To me, Harem pants is sort of like a combination between tapered pants and skinny jeans.
Baggy on the top half and tight at the bottom half. Some cutting are even lower.
Its a hit garment in the market now.
As you guys know, fashion is like a cycle.It goes back to the days of our Dads and Mums. Those were the days where Harem Pants were popularly worn and seen as well as tapered pants. I remember my mum has a few of them.
Harem pants are supposed to wear it as LOW as possible because the main point is the baggy look of it. Most of the people will have the wrong perception that it looks weird when its too baggy and they tend to pull it high to reduce the baggy-ness of it. For Tapered pants, you can wear it high but for Harem, its low. The fun part is the contrast between the baggy and skinny for the whole look.
Most of the fashionistas have the same comment about Harem pants.
It is stylish and trendy. You do not need to match it with an outstanding top or do lots of layering because the pants itself already outshines the outfit. Especially some of the printed harem pants for women. For example: Peacock print, Leaf Skeleton print, Tatoo print, etc.
Basic Mix & Match:
Therefore, you just have to wear a simple and nice top or a cool printed tee for guys with single coloured harem pants, whereas for girls maybe can do a simple layering (a one coloured singlet layered with an oversize t-shirt). Let people focus on you hip and stylish printed harem pants.
Besides that, basic tops are easy to accessorize. Just a cool necklace or a pair of nice ear rings will do . Guys with a trendy watch, or bracelets that goes with the colour tone of the outfit and that's it.
Other than casual harem pants, now we have formal wear too.
Different choices of Harem Pants
This is a new look I found for Harem Pants on Lookbook. Honestly, I haven't seen a denim harem before. Slightly looks a bit like skinny jeans but you can still see the baggy part up there. Kinda cool actually. By the way, the sneakers with wings is a special line from Adidas designed by Jeremy Scott. A futuristic look from Adidas. There's a women's tank top on the mannequin in the Adidas store at Pavilion with two flaps of wings in front of the boobs. Looks interesting, but a bit funny though. Haha! Can't imagine a woman athlete wear this for an international sports competition and appears on the TV. Haha!Add this, to your wardrobe. =)
