It has taken me a little marinating, but the idea of harem pants has finally nuzzled itself into the love nook of my mind. They're nothing new but they've definately taken off and morphed since Marc Jacobs reintroduced them in 2007. So did Marc Jacobs invent the harem pant? Of course not silly :]. Harem pants originated in India. They're a cross between a skirt and a pair of fitted pants and were made popular in the late eighties by MC Hammer.
They're comfortable but not in the icky-school-logo-sweatpants kind of way (not saying I don't give in to that temptation on occasion). I am currently on a search for the perfect harem pant and I believe I have found a couple very close to my standards. Vince's Jersey harem pants are my top choice because they look like a beautiful fit and the price is not too crazy for this economy. Vivienne Westwood makes a hot pair of silky harem jammies and Diane von Furstenburg 's harem jumper is beatifully draped to flatter a woman's body.
May I have a word about Diane: She is the most adorable woman. I did not have the chance of meeting her personally but I have attended a seminar of hers and she's quite charming. As I'm sure each of you are.
Yours Truly,
