Harem pants - anyone else?

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

Sorry OP, bit of a hijack there!

Ooh I bloody love my harem pants op. I don't take them off in the summer.

Lucy & Yak do their Alexa cotton harem trousers in a longer length, and very generous sizing (a M long is quite baggy on me, and I'm a size 12/14 and 5'11) - plus they have pockets!

@AnyFucker I like the look of the Next slouch vests, thanks for the tip - do you know how long they are, roughly? In the photos they seem long in some but short in others....

I am long in the body and they sit on my hips. I am usually a size 10-12 and I got the 8 as the other sizes were just too baggy and long

Seconding the recommendation for Lucy and Yak Alexa trousers. Baggy style with high stretchy waistband, belt loops, deep pockets, 100% organic cotton and gorgeous colours and prints. Absolutely live in them all summer with vest tops and tees tucked in

Justmuddlingalong · 21/06/2022 11:44

I'm only 5'2", does anyone have any recommendations for ones for wee short arses?

I'm 5ft 3 and I live in the Next version which is part harem pant, part jogger. Perfect length on me.

I team it with a black vest and a slimline long cardi or a white shirt and white trainers and it looks fab. And SOOOO comfortable! And, I'm currently a 16-18 and they're flattering too.

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.

I love this!

Kione · 21/06/2022 12:26

I love them but the issue is I only like them with sandals or flip flops, no trainers or anything else, and where I live it has to be very warm weather as to not freeze wearing sandals!

SkankingWombat · 21/06/2022 12:27

Thank you AnyFucker , going off to have an online browse now...
PolkaDotMankini yes, now you mention it I've seen tight t-shirts worn under them, but I am rather broad of shoulder. I find that style of t-shirt cuts in under around my armpits and leaves me with sores Sad

AnyFucker · 21/06/2022 15:23

The slouch vests are lovely and roomy under the pits

vestedinterests · 21/06/2022 17:12

@BreathingDeep are the next joggers true to size or did you size up?

Sorry!! Link to the ones I bought!
here!

Oh they look fabulous. 🥰
I always coveted that style but sadly I’m at the larger end of the “One size” they would be too low in the rise for me, I prefer a normal waist fit which I believe is called high waisted nowadays.🙄
If anyone knows of a good quality brand that makes them to fit size 18/20 plus & high waisted please let me know?🙂

@Dilbertian I'm currently 12-14 and they are super comfy, not at all restrictive or tight but my mum is size 18-20 so I'm curious whether they would fit her too.

Ooo! I’m size 18-20 too.
Would your Mum try them on & could she/you give us a fashion report back please, especially how high the rise is?🙂

I'm 5ft 3, size 10, with narrow shoulders. This makes me look slender from the front but I have a floppy stomach. Would the folds in the material make my stomach look even bigger and floppier?

Some lovely ones at Boho Tusk.
