I've been OBSESSED with harem pants lately. Of course, it's been a while since they've been in fashion but hey, it's never to late to blog about something you love. What are harem pants you ask? They're baggy, long pants which are tapered at the ankles. Some pants include side pockets which are very convenient to have, but there are some without pockets as well. What I especially adore about these pants are the comfortness that they provide. The bagginess gives your legs area to breathe and enjoyment to walk around in the breeze.
Now, shall we learn some history? I'll keep it to a minimum so don't stop reading yet, this is the best part! Harem Pants originated in the Arabian Peninsula which were more of a traditional wear. Similar pants are worn across the world also known as, shalwar, dimije, kaccha, patiala salwar, turkish trousers, aladdin pants, and many more. These are just a few names that are common and stood out.
Fun fact: I bought my first pair of harem pants back in 2010 thinking they were some form of pajama pants (since they were plain gray in color)... I would wear it to sleep with an accomplished expression on my face because they were extremely comfortable. After a while, when I saw girls wearing them to the mall or even on TV; that's when it hit me that I was doing something completely wrong. Embarrassing, I know but you know what? Till this day, I sometimes wear them to sleep hehe.
In total I only own 3 harem pants right now. Two of which have patterns; one floral (with pockets) and one tribal (without pockets). The other ones are in plain gray with pockets. Harem pants can range from $10-$30 at any clothing store. I got mine at a fairly reasonable price from Forever21.
Below are some pictures of the harem pants I own and how I wore them.
Enjoy!
