Harem pants are perfect for anyone that is slim on top because they give great volume to the lower half of the body. In combination with a cinched waist, the harem pant's skinny ankle makes anyone look like they have legs for days. Additionally, harem pants tend to be so unique that going crazy with the rest of your outfit is not necessary. To keep the look most flattering, it’s important to counter balance the loose-fit of the pants with a tight top.
Since the harem pant trend is such a bold move and allocates a bountiful amount of volume to any outfit, it gives Fashionistas the opportunity to really play with accessories. In particular, belts and chunky necklaces are a great way to keep the trend classic and fun looking. Belts, in particular, are a great way to cinch the waist while still adding an element of creativity.
For the ultimately flattering look, today’s Fashionista pairs her gray high-waist harems with a simple white top and perfectly tailored blazer. Additionally, she perfects the look with a beaded chunky necklace and a practical messenger satchel.
A rule that all trendsetters sporting the harem pant look must follow is to keep the waist cinched. On that same note, the higher the heel, the more petite a Fashionista will appear. This Fashionista keeps her look neutral with a slate gray color. Some designers that play with ivories and neutrals include Chloe, Paul Smith and Jaeger London.
