Crime of Fashion: More Harem Pants!

Harempants_2

OK, so the La Redoute episode could just have been a random aberration, but finding this pair of Harem pants in Topshop makes me worry that this could be a "trend" – or that the retailers are trying to make it a trend, anyway. We will not let them win, though, my Fashion-Crime-Fighting friends! We will fight them on the beaches! We will fight them in the malls! We will fight them on the … blogs.

This particular pair of pants is by Steve Yoni for Topshop, who clearly thinks that not only do we need to feel like we’re wearing nappies, but that most of us would quite like a bit of extra padding around the hips, thanks very much. Witness:

Yup, there are those big, wrinkly pockets again, looking like weid flesh sacks. Lovely. Or not, as the case may be.

    I saw these and did a double take. Eeewwww.

  2. NotMe says:

    My mother saw these in an outlet store marked down 90% and bought them because not only were they a deal (i.e. someone realized they were God-awful ugly and was trying to give them away) but she saw “some famous person” wearing them, so they must be so in. If you want to add hips to the bony models, feed them; don’t just add fabric!

  3. I actually love them because in our culture we already wore similar pants. I think they will be acquired taste in fashion. I can understand how some people may think they are hideous but for me they are in good taste if worn the right way. Check out my blog at http://www.thefashioneasta.com I have a post on them as well!
