Trend File #013 | Harem Pants: The New Spring Craze

Alright….the first thing to come to mind when looking at a pair of harem pants is what? MC Hammer perhaps? For the most part, many of you would say “Hell Yes”….and there are some who really could give two bats of an eye lash about MC Hammer. But for the most part, you can’t help to notice the steady incline of harem-style pants resurfacing from the 90’s time machine straight back to the 2009 spring/summer scene. A while back I had a conversation with a good friend of mine, about the trend and how I hated it! That was until….I found a pair of harem pants for $4 bucks at my local thriftshop and decided to give it a try! You can’t loose on a pair of four dollar pants! And with this seasons trend meter on high, thanks to the dropped crotch persuasion…many women from the east to west have been marking their territory with the lastest harem styles available. Try your luck on this springs trend! And if you are still sketchy about even placing a leg into a pair….run into your favorite local retailer that may have them available in stock…try them on…then decide!. But for the mean time, check out the stats after the jump!

I just wanna know for the Harem Pants; Where can you get the ones that the trend doll Boboniaa has on. Those are the best ones out of any of the other ones shown. But there is no link for the one she is wearing. Normally this wouldn’t be part of my fashion style but I would def rock the pair she has on. I HAVE to know where to get specific ones at.

Hey Keona,
I love Boboniaa’s pants as well but she had purchased hers at a local mall in Thailand. So we’re out of luck!

i love harem pants, but it seems like you have to be rail thin and have NO SHAPE to pull them off. I got a booty, and I don’t think it’ll work for me lol

Dee, don’t say that! Seriously, I have a booty too! What you can do is get a pair in black, a neutral colored top and you are good to go ![]()

Love the Rick Owens piece of course!! for those in doubt , if you think of them as a loong billowy skirt the same rule would apply, keep everything on top simple and sleek
great Feature Tee!!!

@ SGP – AMEN! That is what I am talking about! I was @ American Apparel this weekend, because I had my eyes on a pair of Harem pants…the $40 cotton ones only to throw up my hands, roll my eyes, and look for something a bit more refined. The look is so sexy if put together correctly!

I could never wear those pants, i’m 4′11 and have a booty, i would look extra small and wide.
