WHEN HAREM PANTS INSPIRED ME..

Harem pants or Harem trousers also known as parachute pants, are women's baggy long pants tapered at the ankle, with side flaps on the hip that button at the waist area.Harem pants, which originated in India, are like a cross between a skirt and a pair of skinny jeans. The legs, from the knees down, are fitted.Harem pants can be extremely large and baggy, with a very wide and full fit, very roomy, loose fitting, over sized, puffy, spacious, with elastic in waist and at ankles, and with the crotch below the knee almost to the ground.

Harem pants -- low-slung, voluminous trousers that are typically gathered at the ankle or calf -- were expected to be a fleeting fad when they appeared on runways for spring 2008.Harem pants, which are believed to have originated in India, first made their way to the West in the 18th century, according to Gayle Fische.

 According to the statistics Harem pants came up in 2008 and slowly into the fashion industry  although last year especially in India was the main growth of harem pants but still the people are accepting it and wearing it in different shapes and different materials.And harem pants are sticking around this spring for another go for atleast another season.Few of the examples are given below:-
