Harem Pants
Women's pant, fully gathered into waist and ankle areas. Origin from Near East. Often described as a baggy and saggy pant tapered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area. The urban popularity of the harem pant circulated in the early '90s with MC Hammer.
If you're feeling experimental, try these ASOS Jersey Cuffed Harem Style Trousers ($44).

These I would wear, but really only as lounge pants. As far as the ankle length ones that I've spotted recently on celebrities...NO WAY.
1"The urban popularity of the harem pant circulated in the early '90s with MC Hammer."
enough said. noooo thank you.
2Not my thing, though the Japanese drama that I watch has got me craving for capris, and I hate capris.
3ug...I do not think that I could get into this style again, though I do have pictures of me rocking them in elementary school....never say never I guess!
4ugh!
5Please, Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
6Wow, way to make a hippy woman (me!) hippier.
Do designers actually know what a real woman's body looks like? I think they've been around too many clothes-hanger bodies.
7omg these are horrendous
8Those ones actually look better than most I've seen so far.
9you could only wear them if you had a svelte frame...on a normal woman these would look ridiculous.
10okay so these harem pants look amazing compared to this catastrophe:

yeah.
11Yuck, those are absolutely disgusting!
12ugggh, no!
13These are terrible!
14I'll pass.
15I had so many Hammer pants when I was little. But I think these pants are best left in 1990!
16shopcora - you are absolutely right. the pants you linked are described as "soft cropped pants feature a thick ribbed waist, long crotch, and deep pockets". That's right, LONG CROTCH. I'm sorry, I can't get into this trend...
17i hate these.
18I would not wear these. I think you have to be super slim for them to look good on you.
19i'd wear these if they were "harem-style sweatpants". otherwise, i'll pass.
20This style of pant seems to be all the rage in Italy and France right now. Last month in both Milan and Nice I noticed SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many strange variations of these harem/HAMMER pants. It took some conditioning but eventually I quit automatically thinking of horrible hammer pants every time I saw someone walk by in a pair of these. I even kind of like the harem style pant now.
21every one has a pair of these in argentina, because they were all the rage 2/3 years ago.. I don't like them at all, but i have a pair for the gym class.
