aibu or do harem pants look like pyjamas

[ambereeree]

I'm sick of wearing leggings to the park and playgroups so i thought I'd look for some soft casual trousers. I find i have to keep yanking up my jeans so don't wear them.

I got a pair of harem pants and tried them on and they look a bit lile pyjamas...i feel a bit embarrassed going out in them. Btw I'm late 30s and slim so maybe I'm too old for them (although i look much younger)
Am i being silly?

A mum at school regularly wears a really baggy trousers with a low crotch. Think harem pants but massive.

The effect is of a toddler wearing a dirty nappy...or wearing a nappy while paddling in the sea.

Those with harem pant experience - what do you think of these ones?

I live in these, comfy and cool.

Should be banned for adults, they are so ugly and should only be worn in size 0-24 MONTHS, to allow for nappy space

Oh god, I'd never have the confidence to wear them. I'd feel so self conscious in them, so kudos on you ladies who can wear them with pride! I do actually like the style (not the great big parachute style ones) and a they look nice in certain patterns.

As for me, I usually wear pedal pushers or capri pants as my summer outfit.

they do look like PJs. I had a teacher at school who always wore them (before they became fashionable), she had so many different pairs that she wore with Tshirts & sandals in complimentary colours, they were a trademark look for her.

I like them, wish I was brace enough to carry them off.

I had a pair a few years ago thought I looked OK in them I was very slim young and fashionable. Got told I looked like a weight lifter obviously just don't look right on most people.

I love mine! They aren't p'j like, but I suppose I do choose them in certain fabrics so they're not IYSWIM. I like them because I have a slim middle, larger hips and skinny ankles. In the right fabric they skim all the lumpy bits and show off the skinny bits. Maybe I'm just delusional though??!! I did have a pair that were more yoga trousers than harem, with the very low crotch- totally agree with the full nappy comments! They aren't really designed for everyday wear, just for actual yoga-ing

Every time i wear mine my DP says 'haha you got your jammies on'

I bloody love mine (also pregnant!) but I would only wear them a) on sunny days and b) with immaculate hair and make-up - I think that stops them looking like pyjamas! Also it depends on the print.
