Happy in Her Harem

Hello Queens! 
Tired of jeans and jeggings, shorts and trousers, skirts and dresses?
Add some flair to your wardrobe with some harem pants!



Light, comfy and stylish,harem pants are inspired by traditional Arabic and Indian pants.Very versatile, these  pants  work well both for casual and dressy occasions and will help you score lot of fashion points! 

How to wear harem pants to make a statement , let's see some pointers below...



How to choose them?
First of all, ladies i'm sorry to say but harem pants will be a big and tricky challenge for those of you who have a petite or plump figure(that does not means the challenge can't be won). For the rest no restriction.

On the contrary of many style advisers who clearly state that harems pants are not for petite and plump silhouette, KMS rather give some key advices for each of these too figures.

Petite  figure, should avoid too wide pants with excess fabric.They should rather choose the tapered version of the harem pant . The draping is more fitted and polished and much more appealing than the original “balloon” fit.It gives some curves to the figure but not too much.


Plump figure(especially plus size figure) difficult mission but not impossible.Focus on the color and the fabrics.Choose fabrics that have a little something extra that helps mold, shape, and hug your curves. For your fabrics,you can’t have enough of jersey, fine cotton, spandex or silk.For the colour choose black or darker hues .
Be cautious when choosing prints.Of course also focus on the cut.The rule is ,always less accent on the parts of your body with issues. 

All these cautions  are meant to avoid weighing down or thickening the sihouette .

How to wear them?
The length of your top
When wearing the harem pants , one has to make sure that  the top stops at the hips region.If not, tuck it.Anything below that region will make the look seem un-proportional and messy .

Printed harem pants ( and any other printed pants )
Only uni tops, which have no other types of prints, embroidery and applications. Thus, you avoid your entire look to be overcrowded.
Blouses made from fine fabrics and casual shirts, tops and  immaculate silk blazers worn with masculine or black undershirts will look perfect with a pair of harem pants with floral prints, geometric and abstract . 

Be shoe wise
Do not forget:shoes or sandals like stiletto ,wedges,heels, are mandatory when wearing a pair of harem pants(only one exception allowed;see below).
Only thin and average or tall  Queens, may play with flats for a casual look.


For which style
Casual 
Harem pants can easily become key part of successful casual outfit. Opt for a pair of pants in one color(on a summery note, take a vibrant cheery one). Pair your harem pants with a  neutral top, and  Roman sandals .
On a more urban and "ethnic" note, pair your neutral harem pant,with a ankara jacket on a top and a pair of sneakers or flats.Ankara is a so busy pattern so keep the top light.



Casual chic
First, choose a pair of pants in one color or a printed one. 

Wear your pair of harem pants with a top and heels. If you have an enviable waist not be afraid to flaunt it with a high waist harem pants with a neutral top(cropped top allowed) in a vibrant hue. 
On a rock chic note add some edgy and though vibes to your black harem pant .It might be a black leather hat,belt(a studded one is just perfect!) or a leather jacket.


Corporate
Sure ! you can wear harem pants at the office, but you have to keep in mind the cut and color. With the help of not very large harem pants in a neutral color (black or gray ), worn with a classic  shirt or a silky blouse  you will be able to enjoy a sober office attire and casual one at the same time .Jumpsuits also work here.Finish the look with a pair of stilettos.



Chic
Here the winning combination might be a harem pant pair with a top  and a blazer.You may choose a printed or neutral harem pant.

A pair of harem pants in a powdered, feminine color can help you draw up an outfit quite refined . complete the look with stilettos or statement sandals.






When it comes to harem pants, you will hardly keep the look sober, the harem pant being a bold statement on its own.So Queens just go bold!
