Even if famous singers such as MC Hammer or Vanilla Ice have contributed to increasing the level of awareness and popularity of harem pants (from the Middle High German "blodern", translated roughly means "to spill out"): in Arabic regions the wide-cut garment is worn with Elastic waistband worn for many centuries. For this reason, the term harem pants is more familiar to many fashionistas than the word plump or harem pants. The nice thing about the comfortable cut is that it allows a lot of freedom of movement. Apart from the fact that the wide pants are loose, they are equally suitable for adults and children. We present you with different styling tips and popular trends for 2023.
Due to the wide legs and the low crotch, the harem pants are anything but figure-hugging. Accordingly, the comfortable piece of clothing can be ideally combined with tight-fitting tops such as T-shirts or crop tops - depending on the weather, a short between-seasons jacket made of jeans completes the look. As far as footwear goes, heels tend to get lost under baggy pants unless they have snug ankle cuffs. Otherwise ballerinas and sandals of all kinds are ideal companions on warm days. If you like to wear jewelry on your feet with harem pants, toe rings and anklets are real eye-catchers.
Since harem pants have their origins in the Orient, they often feature popular motifs from Arabic and Asian countries - such as elephants or mandalas. This gives the light fabric pants an exotic look that can be ideally combined with single-colored tops.
Depending on the manufacturer, harem pants have such a high waistband that even pregnant women with a growing belly can easily fit into the garment. But there are also special maternity trousers in a harem look with an extra wide rise or comfortable bib harem trousers that will be trendy in 2023.
Patterns of all kinds are also popular this year. Whether abstract, floral or geometric - harem pants will come in creative looks in 2023. When styling, it is important to ensure that outerwear and underwear are not combined too wildly. Otherwise, the harem pants are ideal for everyday use.
Last but not least, the harem pants (short and long models) cut a sporty figure. For this reason, the comfortable cut is equally suitable for indoor and outdoor activities. The flexible material is particularly popular with yoga and Pilates, preferably in combination with long cuffs.
Harem pants can be made of different materials, but mostly they are flowing fabrics that support the classic cut. The care varies depending on whether natural or synthetic fibers are used: While pure cotton can be washed at 40 degrees without any problems, polyester and viscose should only be cleaned at 30 degrees - a gentle cycle is recommended here. Since harem pants are usually very thin and therefore sensitive, a laundry net should be used. And also a mild detergent.
