Harem Pants - triumph or tragedy?

After a quick spot of style advice - last summer I searched for a pair of Jaeger London black silk harem pants to no avail, then last week I was in the Jaeger outlet store and found the very same with 50% off the original £150 price tag. The photo is courtesy of Bazaar and does not actually feature the Jaeger pants, but they are similar, perhaps a little wider across the hips and very flowing, great for lounging around at home, or for evenings on holiday with sparkly sandals - I wont be going to the pub in them any time soon.





So the advice I am after is this - am I a season too late and is it a tragedy, or are they a classic and I have bagged myself a bargain? Reason for my uncertainty is that I already have lots of clothes that I don't wear and I don't want to add to the collection, I have 7 days left for a full refund, or I may wear them this evening when we have friends coming for supper. I would be very grateful for any words of wisdom.

  4. Do you realise that on my body these would be like skinny jeans. I shall be avoiding them like the proverbial.

    But you should wear what suits you and if they suit you - WEAR THEM!!!!

  5. Thank you all for your comments - I wore them last night anyway - phoned the daughter for her opinion - she thought "yes", asked the husband who said they showed off my figure although "it's a bit of a specialist look", so I went for it and felt very comfy and quite glam - not a normal combination really! Did keep feeling as though I should be pulling some MC Hammer moves though x

  6. I hear you. I yearned for some velvet harem pants...waited for the sales...posted an image on them and asked fellow bloggers for advice...and still haven't worn them. I had a similar worry - when summer comes, it'll be too late! Good find though - I love Jaeger London.

  7. I think they are a great alternative to other trews! you can dress them up in a glamorous fashion. I got some quite late to the party too!

    I'm wearing my Welsh mini skirt today to annoy all the English pre the match tonight when I suspect they will be laughing and I'll be ripping off my skirt in dismay!
