Would YOU Dare?


The Harem pant [also known as the Hammer pant, lol].

It seems that a lot of celebs have jumped on this new slouch look but it's no secret that not everyone can get away with the same things celebs can, and trends are definitely not an exception. I'm sure you all have seen this style more and more lately and it's gotten so many mixed opinions that even I had to think to myself "would I wear this ?". Would YOU wear this trend? How would you wear it?

Here are my thoughts on how to simplify and wear this look:

1. Wear fitted tops especially considering the pants are already loose and slouchy. It's all about balance and it's the safest way to go. You can challenge the look with a light silk top like Angie Harmon did with hers. The only difference is she still kept her shape and chicness by wearing a belt and tucking her blouse in, the same with Naomi Campbell.
*You can also wear a fitted jacket with them for a simple layered look.

2. Limit your accessories, otherwise you may look like Aladdin! [lol]

3. Wear with heels! Since the pants are pretty much shapeless everywhere but the hip, wearing a heel will accentuate and elongate your legs and create a more feminine look. I'm not against wearing a flat sandal [gladiator!] if you wear a shorter version of the pant.
