Make a statement in Harem Pants!
Daily News, Shopping | My Fashion Life | June 24, 2009
‘Sex and the City’ stylist Patricia Field thinks “MC Hammer” pants are this season’s ultimate fashion statement.
Patricia – who has styled stars in movies such as ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ – says the baggy trousers are the perfect way to stand out in a crowd.
She said: “MC Hammer pants are a good place to start if you want to stand out. Or pants with stirrups. I’d definitely recommend investing in some harem pants too. Other than that, make sure you tap into the hardwear trend with a good hair accessory or hat.”
Meanwhile, Patricia has branded ‘Poker Face’ singer Lady Gaga and former Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham “style icons”.
She added to Britain’s Heat magazine: “They’re both very different in style and yet very similar. Lady Gaga is a pop star personified. Like Madonna before her, she has fun with her fashion and it’s all very showy and tongue in cheek.
“In the same way, Victoria’s created her own look that’s very glamorous. She definitely has her own way of putting outfits together that other people try to copy. They’re very different as style icons, but individually both very stylish in their own right.”

While I definitely agree that Harem pants are the trend of the season, I find myself not reaching for them on the racks when I’m out shopping. Something about their droopy shape doesn’t appeal to me, and I admit, it’s hard for petite girls such as myself to be able to pull the look off. But for those who can, I am envious.
I’ll be adding this to our link roundup. My husband knew because of his show they were making a comeback.
