Which of you are rockin' the HAREM PANTS look then eh?... Eh?

[mrsmaidamess]

Because it isn't me.....yet...

Me neither, I know my family would keep saying my nappy needed changing...
There are some lovely ones in Zara if you're up for mrs m!

Well even M&S have jump on the Harem bandwagon. I saw a girl wearing some the other day with a slouchy blazer and I have to say she loooked good.

They had some on a model in the Toast catalogue (under a lovely dress) and they looked really nice (on her).

Saw some in Zara yesterday and unsettling enough I was quite drawn to them. Took me about 2 years to give in to leggings though so doubt I'll be buying them any time soon. Also agree it isn't worth the ridicule from DH, definitely a fashion which men don't 'get'

nooooo! Horrendous

I have got a harem-trousered jumpsuit (don't laugh). It is black silk and is very very nice, surprisingly flattering. Have to wear sky high heels with it though or it would look like hammer time.

Link to precisely what this is please?

I think I want to go 'eurgh' but need to check.

ok hang on

marks manage to make them look like a saggy grey nappy, of course

gok says they are good for pear shapes which surprised me

I had a pair in the 80's

dressier version

gg I never did. Did I miss out?

these are the ones I have got

mrsmaidemess - those first grey marks ones look like jogging bottoms which have gone bagy in the wash!

what do you wear over them?

I know, marks always get it slightly wrong don't they

Bellebelle, the Zara ones are really nice aren't they? The idea of fashion men don't get is hilarious, I have 3 DBs and DH has two, so choosing something to wear to a family do is a nightmare. Harem pants, puffball skirts etc, you have to have a thick skin when there's a man about I tell ya!

I had a harem jumpsuit like this as well arf

Definitely eurgh if it's the dropped-crotch trouser style.

Not so bad if I could try to look like Jasmine in Aladdin.

gg that's haremtastic

I'm dying to get some
Waiting for our new H+M to open soon
Bet they'll do the trend better than M+S

Without a doubt

gg i was really disappointed when gok said that. i have been secretly hankering for a pair but am an apple and suspect this would be disastrous.

No, not yet. I remember laughing at them in the eighties so I'd feel a bit of a dick poncing about in them now.

It's funny how many fashionable things look nobbish to begin with, then somehow they seem to worm their way into the national psyche, (you know when M&S start selling them that we've all finally been drawn in). I remember thinking circa 1999 that Sarah Cox and Zoe Ball looked bloody ridiculous when photographed on a night out with jeans tucked into their knee high boots, fast forward ten years and we're all at it with gay abandon parading about like Dick Whittington.

It's like cars, eg the Ford Ka - they look all hideous to begin with then before you know it they look so dated. Can't get my head round the Fiat Multipla still, that really is an ugly vehicle, but still... harem pants? I'll probably be rocking them soon, just give me a few months to hide all our cameras.

oh yes we'll all be in sitting mnetting in harem pants and jumpsuits
