He does a few variations and some with a dropped crotch I think. Also complexgeometries do some very cool shorts as well. Depends if you really want shorts or pants I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926390 Mon, 06 May 2013 21:40:25 +0000 bj1111 926390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ see...harem pants! not shorts. &nbsp;keep your shorts get the pants. &nbsp;this should be another workhorse for you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926386 Mon, 06 May 2013 21:30:31 +0000 annagybe 926386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh but in doing some internet search I found these <a href="http://www.ssense.com/women/product/ktz/black_nylon_harem_pants/73766?utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=generic&#038;utm_source=2178999&#038;utm_term=11131143" rel="nofollow">http://www.ssense.com/women/pr.....m=11131143</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926380 Mon, 06 May 2013 21:23:35 +0000 K. Period. 926380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmmmm. &nbsp;That's a tough one! I love your harem shorts and I can see why you love them and are thinking of upgrading to the&nbsp;Rick Owens ones. &nbsp;The Rick Owens ones&nbsp;are horribly expensive, though. &nbsp;I would try for a less expensive version. &nbsp;However, my price threshold is lower than yours. &nbsp;So my thought is either 1. find someone to knock you out a duplicate of your current ones in better fabric (maybe one of the amazing seamstresses on the board is willing? You could check on the O.T. board.) or 2. buy the Rick Owens if 1. seems like too much work. &nbsp;The only reason I suggest a duplicate is that you know that the whole shebang with your current ones fits. It is just a matter of better fabric for them. &nbsp;Finding someone to make the knock off and getting fabric, etc., takes time though. For me, time is at a premium, so option 2 is just as legit as option 1 in my mind. &nbsp;Sorry for the rambling. &nbsp;I guess I have a rambling thought process today! &nbsp;;)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926357 Mon, 06 May 2013 21:02:51 +0000 bj1111 926357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i would wear out your shorts and look for one later this season or next year. &nbsp;there may be one at nas, or rick owens could show up at nas/sales https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926332 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:38:29 +0000 Thistle 926332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I second Inge.&nbsp; If you will wear them enough to make the CPW okay to you, I would go for it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926316 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:18:10 +0000 Inge 926316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You wear them well and you love the silhouette, Anna (so do I), so I don't think upgrading is a bad idea at all. How many times could you wear them in a Seattle Spring/Summer? If the price per wear seems reasonable to you, then I vote yes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926314 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:13:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 926314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well....if the fabric feels yucky to the touch and makes them uncomfortable, then an upgrade in fabric would warrant the expense. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926313 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:11:57 +0000 annagybe 926313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They're not falling apart. It's just that the fabric is cheap and has this weird pilly texture. But I still wear them. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926309 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:09:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 926309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Are your current shorts falling apart? Do you not like them any more? Personally for the number of times you probably wear them in a Seattle summer, I would wait until the ones you have wear out. That's a lot of money to replace something that doesn't yet need replacing and that you may only wear a handful of times per season.<br /><br />Just my two cents worth. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-upgrade-my-harem-shorts#post-926302 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:02:15 +0000 annagybe 926302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My black harem shorts were from a sample sale and not the best fabrication. I found these, but for shorts they seem freaking expensive. Although they're Rick Owens. <a href="http://totokaelo.com/store/products/d-rk-sh-d-w-by-rick-owens/ss13/poplin-wax-drawstring-short/black" rel="nofollow">http://totokaelo.com/store/pro.....hort/black</a> I haven't worn out my existing shorts and probably won't his season, but I really enjoy wearing them. What do you think? Here are my existing shorts for reference <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-427-for-austin-meet-up" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....in-meet-up</a>
