Styling Harem Pants

blog shoot 2_02web

Every once in awhile a fashion trend comes along that I laugh at, and a year later I find myself wearing. Overalls and harem pants are two trends that took me a year to embrace, but now love. Rompers and jumpsuits on the other hand...I couldn't get enough right away.

The drop crotch of harem pants isn't that attractive. In fact, men hate and will always hate harem pants. But you guys, they are SOOOOOO comfortable and are far more stylish than sweatpants. Who cares what men think? I dress for myself!

Agnes & Dora make SUPER cute harem pants in all different patterns for moms and kids. I love the mom and kiddo combo, and I also like that you can wear these pants with a simple t-shirt and heels and look super fashion forward. I added statement necklace from 31 Bits and a bracelet. I thought the tribal quality of the jewelry complemented the pattern of the pants.

I would rock this outfit for a ladies' night out, First Friday art walk or to the mall.  But, if you don't have the confidence to rock these pants in public you can wear them in the comfort of your home.

Please Don't - Harem Pants

I have made Fridays my days of requests to consumers...Please don't wear harem pants. Harem pants do not flatter anyone's figure. If you want to have fatter legs and a saggy crotch, by all means go for it. However, I'd think the normal woman would want to make her figure look the best it possibly can be and harem pants don't seem to be a part of the equation. Men, this goes for you too unless you're M.C. Hammer. I can't stop the fact that these pants have been manufactured and placed on the sales racks already. I can't stop you from trying them on either. The one request I have is that you please just look in the mirror and ask yourself the usual question, "Does this make me look fat?"
