Spring 2009 Trend Alert – Harem Pants

December 31st // 5 Comments
With the new year upon us, it’s time to start thinking about our spring wardrobes. I was lucky enough to get a first look at what new trends will be cropping up in ’09 when I attended New York Fashion Week this past Fall. While I loved a lot of what I saw, (i.e. tropical prints; bodysuits; voluminous, flowy, femenine sillhouettes) there were some trends I’ve still been trying to digest–namely, the return of the harem pant. Everyone from Michael Kors to Betsey Johnson to Diane Von Furstenberg showed this trend on the runway. Though I do like the sillhouette, my main concern is that this would be a tough look for a curvy woman to pull off. Much like the boyfriend jean, this look requires balance proportion for those of us who aren’t 6’1 billowy supermodels ;)
Curvy gals, if you dare try this trend, be sure to add heels and a fitted top, just so you won’t get lost in all that fabric!

    Hi again, I’m lovin’ them. I used to wear them way back when they were in a long time ago. Some are wider than others, so one would have to be mindful of that, but I recently lost 50 pounds on Transitions and I’m all about getting into fashion again. Love them, love them, love them. Happy New Year everyone!!!!!

    Not digging the Betsey Johnson pants in the middle. I’d be worried that I might get caught up in a windstorm in NY and fly away. The Michael Kors look and Diane von Furstenberg looks aren’t so bad.
