I just saw Diana already linked to that idea!) </p> <p></p> <p>I don't like how harem pants feel on me (I can't walk in my normal stride w the dropped crotch), but I'd wear those slim trousers with the oversized hip pockets in a heartbeat!

Mine are all solid black jersey, so have lots of drape. Earlier this summer in Shanghai saw a woman with amazing print harems, crotch at ankle, fabric looked like cotton batik. She looked so cool in the awful heat and humidity. These fair isle -- the idea is interesting, but look like they might be bulky or stiff. The seaming down the center doesn't help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fair-isle-harem-pants#post-1320752 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:52:48 +0000 BethL 1320752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try not to have a poison eye about most things, but the harem pants are just not doing it for me. </p> <p>I dunno, but I actually think Anna and Angie could make those pants look good.
