Hareem Pants


This time last year, i remember conversing with friends in Italy about the dreaded Hareem pant. I was very much con to 'poo pants' as my step mum calls them.

I didn't understand how a baggy crotched trouser could possibly make you feel, let alone look sexy. Also, for the larger ladies among us- chub rub central! They just make no sense. I can see a place in fashion history for the equally as strange; jumpsuit, the bat wing and and even the trouserskirt (remember them?!), but somehow not a massive crotch area (no pun intended).

However, upon the recent exploitation of the jump suit and play suit, i think i am beginning to see the error or my ways. Now, having bought a playsuit- with quite large culotte shorts at the bottom, i think i have slightly experienced what it would be like to wear a hareem pant. And to be honest, as much as i hate to admit it, i liked it. I'm thinking, some slight hareeminess (not talking MC Hammer), a tight fitting vest and some sort of gladiator sandals (i know they've been in fashion for a while, but i just don't want them to go away).

It might have taken them over a year to sell me the idea, but in this instance, the fashion pack have succeeded in converting me to the idea of a baggy wide crotched 'poo pant'- shock horror!!
