Individual Chic: Harem pants, just not for me

Harem pants, just not for me

So I wrote a post on harem pants, and I suggested people have a go at this trend. I even said I’d have a go and I’m here to report on the results.

No. Just no.

The first pair I tried on were the ones from Sussan. Not a good look. Having a large vulva suspended half way between your hips and your knees is not a good look. The one’s from Katies were better, but still not something I would wear, even around the house. At that point I gave up.

So I revise my advice; try harem pants, sure, but only if you don’t have an apple body shape. If you are an apple, try them at your peril (and please DON’T take a friend, you wouldn’t want to accidently have them laugh themselves into a heart attack).

Oh, and to the woman I saw wearing her harem pant with the stiletto booties, just no. Pick one cutting edge trend to play with, not two.

I love themm!! I wore one for my 17th birthday first and it was love at first sight. They were comfortable and quite stylish too although not so in fashion at time so people were looking at me in a quite weird way. I took them out this year - after 3 years - and wore again and felt exactly the same. Plus its amazing how much fat (!:))!) you can hide under them..

I consider myself having an apple shape body too altho not so to sides. So basically, I have a huge ass! So what I did when buying harem pants is to buy a size larger so it looked more hefty and much better..

You should definitely give harem pants a second chance. :) x

OK Ersnesy, I'll see if I can find a better pair; no promises though ^_^
