Say NO to Harem Pants!

By Renee Bertrand November 15th, 2012 No Comments.

It’s easy to get caught on with whatever’s the fad in the fashion world, but the running trend may not always be the most flattering one. Now take the case of Harem pants. Even though they have become immensely popular, the fashion police are still wondering why many hot girls, including some famous celebrities, choose to don the unflattering, unbecoming piece of clothing.

We’re terribly sorry to hurt your feelings if you own a pair and have been proud of it too, but we believe that this is one fashion trend we’ve yet to understand. Why, you ask? Well, we’ve yet to see someone who’s sported the look with a lot of oomph.

Harem Pants Made Their Way to Runways in 2012

They’re Simply Frumpy!

The hottest of women have worn them, but even the best make-up skills cannot divert attention from the waist below! Somehow, harem pants will make the sexiest diva look like plain Jane. And we’re sure you don’t want a look for yourself that screams ‘so-not-hot’, so stay clear of this fashion statement which we really don’t approve of. Even the otherwise very sizzling hot Beyonce looks odd wearing these.

They Add Extra Pounds

Yes, that’s true! Harem pants do make some parts of your body look proportionately bigger. And do you know what’s the worst part about it? They add the pounds where you need them the least! Now now, who wants to add on the bulk when everyone is sweating themselves out in gyms to lose the fat from exactly that part – the thighs and the behind.

The Cut’s So Unflattering

That’s true! Actually, we think there’s no cut at all. It’s just a lot of bunched up fabric, stitched untidily together. There! That’s how we’d sum up harem pants for you. Wouldn’t you rather wear a sleek pencil skirt, nicely tailored pants or even skinny jeans that actually enhance your curves and make you look hot rather than something which completely conceals all the fine-toned legs?

They Make You Look Like Aladdin

Oops, we didn’t mean to sound offensive, but seriously, harem pants just bring the Arabian nights and Aladdin back. Oh, so you are arguing that Jasmine looked quite good wearing them? But hey, Jasmine also wore a mid-riff and cleavage bearing top with it that exposed enough to make up for the unbecoming harem pants. And trust us, you cannot carry that look everywhere, for e.g. to the supermarket, and with the kind of tops that most people wear them with, harem pants just don’t make it to the stylish scale!

So put away your harem pants right where they belong – at the furthest nook of your cupboard. And if you are just aching to wear them, keep them for some special costume parties or occasions, maybe the Halloween!
