    Yo, my mom had one of those cowl-y tops/dresses that you can wear a hundred ways back in the early 80's, and I believe it was a Norma Kamali. She eventually came out of the pot-induced haze somewhere around 1982 and gave it to me for my dress-up box.

    I would rock the shit out of those watercolor leggings. AS PANTS. I'm sorry, y'all.

    I showed my dad the holey t-shirt, and he said, "You don't need to buy that, I think I have one like that I can give you."


    Said t-shirt is the one he uses to wash the car.

    Ladies, those are not just harem pants, but a HAREM JUMPSUIT. Closer inspection should not have been done.

    A lot of people find it easy to make fun of how hareem pants *look*, but they are incredibly comfortable: soft, loose fitting, and will keep your legs cool. AND you are in no danger of flashing your undies when the wind blows.


    They are a very popular style for women who live in hot countries, such as India.


    They seem really practical to me; why all the hate?!

    @CircleSquare: For practical use, fine (I guess, though I've never seen any shalwar kameez with hammer pants!) but Urban Outfitters is not selling them for 'practical' uses at $68 a pop. Also, I just noticed, it's A ROMPER!

    @CircleSquare: I agree that it's sort of climate-dependent. I was in Turkey last summer and fucking EVERYONE was wearing them, and I thought they were so cool and totally regretted not buying a pair. But back home in the colder US, I think I would just look kinda strange walking around with them.

    Ok, I'll admit to enjoying the hooded item, but only because I love hoods unconditionally.

    I hang my head in shame as I tell you I had purple and white flowered watercolor tights back in day, say, 1989 when I was a sophmore in high school.


    But they were TIGHTS, not LEGGINGS, and that makes all the difference, no?

    Bring in the no, bring in the fug.


    Most of these "trends" already took place in my life, and I fully subscribe to the if you were old enough to wear it the first time, you are too damn old the second time. (Leggings, Splatter paint, Harem pants, ripped t-shirts, I am lookin' at all of ya.)

    Dear Urban Outfitters:


    You are not as hip as you think you are -- my 73 year old mother wears your colored skinny jeans.


    Also: Doesn't Free People have the t-shirt as every-shirt gig sewn (or, uh, knotted and draped) up?


    As someone once said: Fashion always has room for ugly.


    The end.

    @ellaesther: Free people and Urban Outfitters are owned by the same company, so it makes sense. And Anthropologie, but I pretend thats not the case because I love their dresses.

    Ew. I can see a lot of Scandinavian girls wearing those awful leggings, though. Bleh.


    Remember, everyone: Leggings are not pants. I feel like I need to print that up on a brochure and start handing it out in public.

    I can't hate on UO too much because I did buy my favorite Jem and the Misfits 1989 Tour t-shirt there.

    My mom gets this catalogue. When I first saw the "watercolor leggings," I too nearly had a heart attack.

    No 5 looks a little like it's from a Kylie Minogue video, I think it was "Can't Get You Out Of My Head":


    And I actually like harem pants in the summer...they are so comfortable!
