Call it ugly, but if you know how to wear it right, you will make a fashion trend out of it. Drop crutch or harem pants is a fashion many would say no-to-wear. It’s different and you’ll have to look fabulous from top to bottom.
**Tight-fitting or layering tops would go great with it.
Walk it With:
**Wear glamorous footwear to make everything stand out.
Do it right like the Celebs!

I don’t really like them.
guest
Oh, ugly.
Barf Barf Barf.
Only Princess Jasmine can pull that junk off.
guest
haha im still going to say no >.< They look like balloon pants to me sorry. Rihanna looks the best in them out of those pictures though.. but i think it was because she doesn’t have that much “balloony” look as the other ones.
guest
i personally wouldn’t wear them.
but i think rihanna pulls them off really well.
guest
@Lizbeth8207@xanga - bahaha I totally agree.
I think the pants are wretched as are the first pair of shoes suggested to wear with them.
But yeah I think all of those celebrities look terrible. . .

They certainly look very comfortable…but not particularly flattering. Idk how Jasmine does it, but it’s apparently only attractive on animated characters!
guest
eww i dont like it

Well, seems like Harem pants have many styles too (different cuttings). I like the classic ones like those you saw in Princess Jasmin.
I think the pants match a pointy shoes, and sandals that pretty much just straps on feet. Yeah, I guess a wavy top like that kimono style photo would be nice.
And I think it would be nice on belly dance too! Or middle east, east India dance, or even Chinese Buddhism Gandhanra dance.

They don’t look too appealing but Rihanna seems to be able to pull them off. Then again, her pair aren’t as baggy and the crotch isn’t down to her knees so they almost look like regular pants.
guest
Only two of those celebrities are pulling it off. Otherwise, Blech!
guest
yuck.
guest
umm…how about no.
guest
I don’t wear those. >_____< Sorry, it’s not my taste.
But, Rihanna pulled it off really well.
guest
OMG I HAVE A PAIR LIKE THOSE A BLACK ONE LONG TIME AGO
and everyone looked at me weird and call them the genie pants back then……….
i love them. its really comfortable. and its great with tight tops, and high heels, or ankle boots..
its cute, and can be classy
guest
Those pants are just so wrong.
I hate them, my mother, however, loves them
She got a pair when she was in India recently and wore them and all I could say was PLEASE, CHANGE. THAT THING DOES NOTHING FOR YOUR BODY BUT MAKE YOU LOOK OUT OF PORPOTION.
My mother is almost 50, but looks like she’s 30.
Funnily enough, she cant wear bootcut jeans coz they look weird on her, and she seems to only like skinnies, even way before they came back into fashion.
But those Harem pants, or ‘Genie’ pants as she call ‘em have got to go.

I really like the pants, but I personally wouldn’t wear them unless it was to a real big event and those never happens.
guest
Which celebrity do you think pulls them off well?
Well, I would assume that anyone who wears harem pants (celebrity or otherwise) would be able to pull them off well. Otherwise it would be messy to use the toilet!

Rihanna looks passable cos her pants aint really “harem”!
guest
Mmmno. I’m not the biggest fan of those.
guest
umm…yeah… those pants… yikes.
guest
huh….interesting…
guest
i…wtf?
guest
they look like mc hammer’s pants!
guest
yuck.
that’s all I have to say.
guest
Princess Jasmine & Genie in a bottle are the only celebrities I can think of that can REALLY pull these off.
guest
i’ll stick to my jeans & sweats, thank you. o_o
guest
eww, hell no

@RaccoonEyed@xanga - haha, that’s exactly what I was going to say.
guest
ummm…i’m sorry, but PARACHUTE PANTS (that’s what those are) went out with Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. They are atrocities.
guest
Just looking at them makes me feel uncomfortable. D:
guest
i like them actually…. it doesn’t seem like a fashion item for the average chick, but i’m a fan of boho style… but i think they look better just below knee length with nice heels or u can go casual with sneakers.
guest
nah.
guest
LOL they look so funny >_<
only rihanna doesn’t look hilarious in the harem pants
the harem pants seem to be a hybrid between mc hammer pants and DragonBallZ pants…not a good look when 90′s fighting cartoons and pop wonders have similar outfits!
guest
i personally think anyone whos gona wear that has got to have a pretty damn cute face in order to pull it off~~!
guest
Yuck was the first thought that came to my mind too. I would never consider wearing them, and I don’t think they look good on anyone else. However, I used to have a cute harem girl outfit,that I bought from Frederick’s of Hollywood, of course I didn’t wear that in public either.
guest
Oh, and I want those shoes!
guest
@Lizbeth8207@xanga - lol.

Well, I love them. Then again I am a bellydancer…..
Also the short one’s aren’t actually harem pants they are a different kind of pant that have their roots in India.
Just an FYI.
guest
i do not like harem pants!
guest
i think it would be a pretty bad idea to wear those in public unless maybe you’re Aladdin.
just sayin
guest
don’t like them. i don’t think any of those celebrities “pulled them off.”
guest
i dont like them at all, but i think rihanna pulls them off well
guest
No.
guest
ummmm no thanks. although they do look comfy, i can almost hear “can’t touch this” in my mind when i look at them. and i don’t think anyone can really make them work well…. sorry!
guest
Ehhh. Just…… no.
guest
Ew…EW…EWWW…
guest
Ew..
guest
I din’t wear them when MC Hammer wore and I’ll not wear that now…YUCK !
guest
Yuck

ooooh gosh… everything in this post is terrible.
guest
Aren’t those like…MC Hammer pants?
I kind of just think they look goofy
guest
I don’t like them. They really aren’t flattering on anyone. But of all the celebrities pictured, I think Rihanna pulls them off the best.
guest
M.C. Hammer pants, lol.
guest
Yeah, no. The trousers look horrible… they’re so baggy, it’s like you took a shit in your pants and didn’t change them.
guest
I never had any, but they look interesting. At least they should be very comfortable!

those pants make it look like your crotch dropped a few feet
guest
Do be honest, I think they look like something out of a video game.
Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing – I think it looks cool sometimes. But not in a way that other people would usually find fashionable.
guest
no. no. no. no. no.
guest
Rihanna looks passable, yeah.
In the sense that the shape doesn’t look too unflattering on her.But she also looks like a hooker.And not the high-class kind, either….

Also, as someone pointed out, they’re not proper harem pants. Just ugly pants with a slightly baggy crotch.
Anyway, anyway.I never thought I’d be advocating harem pants on a man, but the dude at the end looks the best!
I saw some girl wearing these the other day. I’m surprised she’s the only girl I’ve seen wearing them, since they’ve been around a while now… but looking at her I understand why.It wasn’t good.You need to have a hugeeee amount of style to pull ‘em off.
guest
“Princess Jasmine”/”I Dream Of Genie” cuts are cute. 1980′s/M.C. Hammer styles (the ones with the saggy crotch and asymmetrical hem) are not.
guest
rhianna -i think its rhianna- is the only one who could pull that off
