Harem Pants: WTF?

By: Jacinta O’Halloran (Little_personView Profile)

Sigh, it’s only a matter of time until I am persuaded, influenced, and fooled into thinking that I can indeed carry this baggy arse-and-thigh style (and that they look great on me with a pair of Moses sandals).

Hearing the flapping of Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation pants in my head, I turned to the March issue of Vogue to see if they could save me from myself. Instead they recommended that I should “curtail the volume with a long line mannish jacket” and include some “jersey separates” for that elegant “slouch appeal.”

Huh?

I recommend that they stop talking out their mannish backsides.

I’ve decided to take MC Hammer’s advice instead: he says “You Can’t Touch This!”

I’m going dress shopping.

I'm totally with you! Harem pants are a ridiculous idea. Ugly, unflattering, uncomfortable... just bad all around.

This is an awesome column. I hope you keep it up. How many times I had the WTF? moment looking at the current fashion trends. I am so happy not to be alone in this. And besides: forewarned is forearmed!

Wow. They have all the thigh-rubbing inconvenience of a skirt, but with none of the cuteness potential. I mean, nobody wants to wear Spanxx with capris.
