Does the fact that these pants look more like a skirt than anything else make them better or worse than some of the ugly harem pants that have gone before them? These are the kind of complex and important questions The Fashion Police find themselves having to answer, and quite frankly, we now find ourselves so deeply mired in Harem Hell that we just don’t know WHAT to think any more.
What do YOU think? Better or worse than their harem pant sisters? If a harem pant has a crotch that reaches the ANKLES, but no one can see it on account of all of the material around it, is it still a harem pant? If a tree falls in the woods and there’s no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? The great unanswered questions of our time…

First, Henrik Vibskov created a harem jumpsuit:
Then Henrik realised the errors of his ways. “Quick!” he thought, “Cover the crotch! Before The Fashion Police see it and decide to make it the Ugly Harem Pant of the Day!” So Henrik DID cover the crotch:
By attaching SLEEVES* to it. And The Fashion Police DID make it the Ugly Harem Pant of the Day. Well, come on: four sleeves on one item of clothing, we couldn’t just ignore it, could we? If you can’t either, it’s £214 here.
*OK, so they’re not actually sleeves, but they do seem to be designed to create the impression of another garment tied around the waist…

 Harem Shants As harem pants go, these are far from the worst we’ve seen. In fact, in a Wear or Die type of situation, we may even find ourselves picking these over another pair of drop-crotches, purely because the “harem” part is made of mesh, and is therefore that little bit less noticeable than a regular ol’ saggy pant.
Why does the mesh overlay exist then? You may well ask. But we wouldn’t be able to answer, because we have no idea why you’d need a pair of pants with another pair of pants (albeit sheer ones) sewn over the top of them. We’d also have to disappoint you if you were hoping to buy these, because they’re currently sold out at ASOS.com, who were selling them for $170. Keep checking back, though – you never know your luck!
 Technically, it should be impossible for a pair of dropped-crotch pants to have a camel toe. In fact, that’s probably the only good point the harem pant has.
Once again, however, Rick Owens has managed to bring camel toe to the unlikeliest of garments.
There’s actually a weird kind of talent to that, somehow. And if he can persuade people to part with £455 for these, then he’s even MORE talented than we thought. And possibly dangerous.

 Sometimes it’s not enough to have a saggy butt and low-slung crotch in your day-to-day life. Sometimes you want to be able to look like that at the beach/pool, too, and luckily for you, this Zimmermann jumpsuit (sorry, “shumpsuit” – it IS sheer, after all) is here to help you do it!
This is actually supposed to be worn as a swimsuit coverup, but will people take heed of that, and refrain from wearing it AWAY from the waterside? Of COURSE they won’t. Hopefully the $450 price tag will put some of them off, though…
[Thanks to Brie for the report!]

It doesn’t really get much worse than this, does it? Or at least, we hope not.
These are actually designed for men, and we would attempt a joke here about what the man who wore them would be packin’ in that pouch, but actually, going by the shape of it, it looks like a second butt. Attractive. Not.
Want them? They’re £125 at Far Fetch.

These pants have gone in the opposite direction from the Superfine harem jeans we arrested yesterday, and are SO voluminous they almost look like a skirt/leggings combination rather than pants. Does that make them any less of a fashion crime? We’ll leave that up to you to decide: we will, however, say that the real crime here is the price of these – they’re £829 at Far Fetch.
 No So Fine We don’t know about you, but as bad as dropped-crotches are, we always thing they look so much worse in a rigid fabric like denim. If the crotch must be dropped, let it be dropped as part of some kind of loose, flowing garment, where it’ll at least look intentional, rather than on a pair of jeans like these, which just look ill-fitting and uncomfortable.
Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, yes, the fly is supposed to be off-centre like that. Imagine these worn with the Comme des Garcons shirt we showed you yesterday: head-to-toe wardrobe malfunction!
These are by Superfine, they’re $306 and they’re available at Shopbop.
 We really thought that harem pants would be a one-season wonder. We hoped and prayed that this would be the case. But then one season stretched to two, and now, as Spring (hopefully approaches) we find ourselves facing a renewed onslaught from the Evil Overlords of Bad Fashion: the harem pant.
We’ve extended the Harem Wing of the Fashion Police Jail in order to cope with this sudden invasion, and the first new inhabitants are these linen pants by Minimum Loose, which will probably be picked on by all the other inhabitants of the jail, because let’s fact it: they don’t even look like harem pants, do they? They just look deformed…

What do lovers of the drop-crotch movement wear when they go on holiday?
Why, drop-crotch SHORTS, of course! Added bonus: the crotch has more than enough room to carry your beach towel, sunglasses and possibly a very small child, too, thus eliminating any need for a beach bag.
Of course, if you don’t feel like paying £155 for these Comme des Garcons shorts, almost any other pair of ill-fitting men’s bermudas will do just as well…
