For your viewing pleasure ...


Regretfully, these are no longer available at Topshop. You can however dream about all the wonderful things you could fit in those cinched pockets. Candy, dolla bills, kittens, tots, some of those magician scarf pull things. Or maybe you should leave them empty so when people ask you what they are for, you can let them see that they hold nothing and no, your hips haven't sprouted giant tumors .

Harem is another word for Hammer

We have been suffering from the Gaucho pant trend for a while now. But we saw many a sorostitute roaming campus in the ill fitting, ass hugging, jersey monstrosities. Sure they are comfy. I get it. But why not choose a skirt? More ventilation, more movement, same level of comfort.And just when I thought that the madness was over ... I spotted some Harem pants in the Marc Jacobs Ready to Wear Spring 2007 collection. There are several different designs of harem pants making there debut, that's right multiple harem pants. Feel free to peruse the variety of harem pants in the collection here. But here are some of the stand outs.

But I just chalked it up to Marc being Marc. I didn't expect people to be running out and buying all the Marc Jacobs harem pants. As far as pants go I figured most people wanted something a bit more flattering. Something that didn't eat your legs and make even the skinniest model look fat while wearing them.

And then ... oh the horror ... Topshop has really gone and done it.
The page is titled "Can't Touch This". That's right people, they have proclaimed what we have known all along . Harem pants are really Hammer pants in disguise. Top Shop wants you to believe and I quote "Hareem trousers are the essential wardrobe staple this season". I'm guessing they mean wardrobe staple as in "your go-to easy bathroom access or extra diaper room pants". Every woman needs a pair of those.
