Harem pants - anyone else?

67 replies

I bought some harem pants from ebay and they arrived just before the weekend. I haven't taken them off because they are THE most comfortable trousers ever!! I feel like I've just discovered a secret or something.
In fact I've just bought them in a few different colours they are that nice!
Does anyone else wear them? I'm flying on Thursday and will definitely be wearing them to travel

I’ve bought so many harem pants recently I’ve got enough to clothe a literal harem 😂

They’re so comfy - I’ve actually got a several pairs from kiniki as they’re tan-through; rather bold on the pattern/colour front(!) but for when I’m wfh or just in the garden I wear them around imagining that from the sun’s perspective (but thankfully not my neighbour’s perspective), I’m basically naked 😃👍

They are the best. DP keeps shouting "Stop! Hammer time" at me but I care not. When I've got pre period bloating they're a godsend.

🤣🤣🤣

They're great pants though.

Bought a pair for a fiver off eBay at least seven years ago, they are still the comfiest trousers I own, I don't go out in them but love them at home!

How could you not include the ebay link! 😀

If they come with pockets. I'm in.

RagzRebooted · 20/06/2022 18:14

I'm tall and worry they'd be too short on me, so I don't own any but always covet them.
Any tall ladies found some that fit?!

Yeah that would also be a deal breaker. I've cracked down on dresses and now only buy with pockets. Comfy trousers with pockets would be a winner.

PolkaDotMankini · 20/06/2022 18:20

Ooo, which ones? I need some for an upcoming holiday but can't find them in the shops this year.

I still have and love the eBay flying squirrel suits recommended on MN A few years ago too.

Hush long-length harems. I'm 5ft 10 and they're fine on me.

KirstenBlest · 20/06/2022 18:25

What's the flying squirrel suit, please, @PolkaDotMankini ?

I have a few harem pants, one pair looks like a skirt but has legs at the hem. Others are more like loose joggers.

alwaysontheloo · 20/06/2022 18:51

Sorry!! Link to the ones I bought!

@KirstenBlest I found this image from my Amazon sales history but I can't find them anywhere else. 'Flying squirrel suit' is the best description I can think for them. They're amazing when I have to fly long-haul. Sooo comfy.

Thanks for the link OP!

Those are exactly the sort of thing I'm after!

What size are you? I'm an 18, and 'one size fits 10-18' does not fill me with confidence.

AnyFucker · 20/06/2022 19:30

I have several pairs. Just trousers and full length romper suits (as DH calls them)

I am tall, and Hush are brilliant

KirstenBlest · 20/06/2022 19:30

@PolkaDotMankini , thanks. I expected something more like a onesie,

picklemewalnuts · 20/06/2022 19:31

@PolkaDotMankini I've often wondered about those. I'm pear shaped, so wonder whether they'd hide or accentuate my hips/thighs.

Also, where is the crotch? Is it down low, so risking chub rub? Or up where trouser crotch usually is?

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 20/06/2022 19:39

I had NO IDEA what a 'flying squirrel suit' could be, but was immensely curious - then I saw the photos and reaslised that I actually bought that exact item last summer! The weather never got warm enough to wear it and I didn't go on holiday, so I have yet to enjoy the benefits of the flying squirrel suit 😂

IDidntKnowItWasAParty · 20/06/2022 19:42

Re harem trousers, I don't think I could do the full 'Hammer Time' version, but I have a pair that are just loose jersey trousers with a wide waistband and tapered hems, crotch only slightly lower than normal, which are very comfy indeed. But their downfall is, as ever, LACK OF EFFING POCKETS

@Dilbertian yes, me too. Makes my face go Hmm really? Grin

I think I found the flying squirrel suit, and now I want to buy it in every colour.

I love them. I have a few from Anthropologie in velvet and wear them loads. My bf does keep asking where are my 40 thieves tho….

FatPatsCat · 20/06/2022 20:03

Love harem pants!

Do these ebay ones have pockets?

Long Tall Sally sell some but they don't have cuffs at the ankles.
