A Harem of Harems; Abstain or Embrace?

I have always appreciated the British sense of humor and the Spanish sense of, um...adventure? I am not exactly sure what my standout feature is for the Spanish. When I think of Spain I think of Gaudi, pork, and Mango. Oh! And Vicky Cristina Barcelona, which kind of means Penelope Cruz, which also means Mango, which means when I think of Spain I really only think of Penelope Cruz (and Gaudi and pork).

Anyway, British, Spain, Mango, whatever, this all brings me to my point (were you concerned I didn’t have one?), which is my take on the harem pant, which began with today’s take on Mango’s harem-pant-skirt as perceived by The Guardian UK:

“When a piece of clothing requires clarification, you know you're in trouble. On first look, this new item from Mango was taken for an innocent skirt. But further inspection revealed it to have leg holes, hovering in line with the hem. It looked like a denim nappy - then word reached us it was a harem-pant-short. Surely now the crotch, which has been falling steadily over the last two years, has dropped as low as it can go?”

Courtesy of today’s WhoWhatWearFashion Week edition, our old college crony and Paris-based L’Officiel editor, Sabrina Marshall, displays exactly how this trend should be worn, with only the subtle hint of harem.
While the crotch hangs lower than your typical tapered trouser, there is nothing MC Hammer (impossible the avoid that reference on this topic) about this look. By pairing the pants with basics she touches on the trend while looking fundamentally fashionable all at the same time.

(But this is also the same person who wore minks to our freshman year dining hall and she pulled that off too. So needless to say, this still doesn’t mean this should be attempted by the masses).

Case in point, the Mango short/skirt/pant. Mango is Spain’s answer to fashion en masse. But unlike Topshop or H&M, it has really never been known for high-fashion. So while the harem trend has trickled down as far it is can go, it should still only be attempted by those at the top.

Final Word: Most harem-wearers fall somewhere safely in-between French fashion editors and Mango misery, but I'll abstain completely. I cut some holes in my skinny jeans and now I feel so Spring 09.

I have been looking around theblackberrie.blogspot.com and really am impressed by the terrific content material here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I have been coming right here for the past couple nights and reading. I simply needed to let you know that I have been enjoying what I have seen and I look ahead to reading more.
