As if the harem pant weren’t controversial enough, Alexander Wang has taken it a step further making it sheer. These chiffon lingerie pants, $450, are a bit confusing. The subtle paper-bag waist, slouchy silhouette and not-too-baggy harem-ness of the pants actually start to convince us that the style is actually rather chic. We can see an old Hollywood screen siren wearing them to bed – as actual lingerie, as the name implies.
But the problem is that people will definitely wear them out in public. Does that become a problem? The opaque boxer-short-like lining bothers us. We understand why it’s there, dear God some modesty is in order. But still…it looks weird, no?

I like their shape very much but it’s the sheerness that bothers me. They look really comfortable and paired with a nice top, would make an original outfit.
What is Alexander Wang UP to?! He has a lot to answer for with all this hideous ‘sportswear chic’!!!
i see the peeptoe boot rule in effect here so that gives me enough of a clue about the wrongness of these lol
plus look at those 80s sweatpant cuffs…hideous
Oh my god, why have i never heard of this site before? The ‘ugly promdress-section’ made my day. Now, this is a site i will follow, count on that!
By the way, what do you think of www.sherrihill.com and her designs?
If I could afford them I would wear them around the house..but why pay 450 bucks for pants that your only gonna lounge around in..thats the real issue here.
I don’t care about the trousers but the shoes look cool.
