Harem Pants: Love 'Em Or Lose 'Em?

Harem pants, dropped crotch pants, hammer pants-- whatever you want to call them, they've all been popping up on the runways for the past couple of seasons. YSL showed them for Fall '08 and dozens of designers including Proenza Schouler and PHI showed them for Spring '09. It seems like the silhouette in fashion is finally changing-- baggy boyfriend jeans are now okay for the fashion-forward girl, so why shouldn't enormous comfy pants be? They're a great alternative to those skintight jeans you've been stuffing yourself into, especially post holiday! You can rock a one piece like Mrs. Tom Cruise or pair them with a sleek little jacket and some heels and you're good to go, right? What do you think? Totally rad and fashion-forward, or do these need to be left in the early 90s with MC Hammer?

    Lose them immediately! I think the style of Harem pants makes even the tiniest of tinies look over-sized and under-styled. Even petite Katie Holmes looks lost under the tent-like pants! They're fine on M.C. Hammer, The Genie, and Elizabeth Montgomery circa 1964, but that's where the trend must end!
