What’s Haute Now: Harem Pants

One of the hottest trends for 2010 is Harem pants. Who would have known that the same  “typewriter” pants that MC Hammer made famous would take a twist and become fashionable.  Harem pants, which originated in India, are  a cross between a skirt and a pair of skinny jeans. The legs, from the knees down, are fitted and the crotch area is loose and baggy as if it were cut to be a skirt.  Various designers such as Alexander McQueen, Diane von Furstenberg and Rebecca Taylor, have redefined  Harem pants and with a few minor changes, Harem pants now promise to elongate your legs and add definition to your waist.

The best thing about harem pants is that you can dress them up or down. To sport this new trendy look, pair the pants with a camisole top or a silk blouse , a tailored jacket and a pair of heels.  Lane Bryant, Asos, Avenue, eShakti , H&M,and La Redoute all have their own stylish Harem pants for sale.
