Be one step ahead by embracing the biggest trend in pants this season.
If you only buy one pair of pants this season, make it harem pants. High-waisted, shaped with plenty of volume and tapered at the ankle—these pants are an easy pair to slip in to. Best part? They’re a fun alternative to your everyday slacks. From Chloé and 3.1 Phillip Lim to DKNY, the season’s hottest designers embraced the new trend in pants, showcasing variations in fabrics and playing with volume. Take cues from their approach and show this trend some love! Feeling reluctant? Start off with a black viscose pair—guaranteed to be your comfiest pants since pyjamas. Or jump right into the trend with a jewel-toned silky pair—the summer ‘09 staple! Whether classic or bold, harem pants are casual, so glam them up with strappy metallic sandals and a tucked-in tee for a night out or your favourite blouse for a day at the office. So simple, you’ll be chic in no time!
