I lived in Asia last year and bought so many pairs since so many monks and travelers wear them and they are just quirky and fun! Finally Americans are combing some other cultures into their own styles. If you haven't noticed trends SUCK. I walk down the street in New York City (where I live) and everyone is dressed in variations of the same thing... looking like stupid clones! The top picture is my favorite and I think the girl really rocks them. Anything that somewhere can wear with confidence is good looking, and no one should ever be afraid to wear something because of the thought of someone judging them.

From the front they look somewhat ok, but then you look at the back and they make you look like you have a saggy grandma butt. People who wear these and think they look fashionable are sadly mistaken. I cannot believe people actually wear these things!

But harem pants can look superb, if they fold neatly at the crotch, have good detailing, and are made from fabric that allows strong definition of folds, pleats, and silhouette. Your photos show that too many high-street designers eschew these in favour of formless sweatpant material and lazy cutting. For examples of pants that can only enhance the figure, see these photos: the second photo at http://mecsensarouel.canalblog.com/tag/photos%20perso (the others are rather shapeless, but the ones I’m pointing at are simple and elegant), and the photos at http://www.j-paine.org/dobbs/qandrissi1.html and http://labobine.over-blog.com/article-13351231.html and http://www.mrtipoi.com/catalog/product/view/id/119/s/sarouel-homme-sh011/category/3/ . The first pair probably work best on a slim figure. Maybe the final pair do too, best for someone tall, but they are really dramatic. The second and third, namely the green Moroccan ones, and the navy ones from La Bobine, ought to work on anyone. Notice their pleats.

I guess they're a wonderful thing if you suffer from a sensitive bladder or diarrhea. Wear nappies and warm underpants without any fear of a visible panty line. Also on partys they're wonderful, as a week supply of chicken wings, prawn cocktail, cinnamon buns and a whole wedding cake can be hidden and brought home safely in these pants.. No need to cook, just make sure you're invited on a regular base. Just take care you haven't eaten beans or onions to prevent the good stuff from getting strange flavours. And if your thighs are not anorectic enough, noone will notice, as everyone will blame the ass widening effect on the pants. Your legs are as short as mine? NO problem. Pull them uuuup to your shoulders, and they'll fit perfectly. Great for pregnancy, too. Awesum !1111!!!!!oneeleven!!112 The only issue might be their total fugliness... Wooo-hoooo!!!

Seeing these bothers the crap out of me. Like it makes my OCD self want to go up to the wearer and yank the pants up past their chest. That baggy, diaper-y crotch is just... WRONG. UGH!

However, and it's a huge however, they're for a production of Lion King in Vegas; does this count as acceptable? forgiveable? (10 elephants, and an assortment of cheetahs, gazelles, giraffes, and other random Pride Land puppeteers) …I confess, the past week my tablemate and I have made 20+ pairs out of raw silk.
