How to Wear: Harem Pants

I am back! Apologies for the long silence. Took a break to study and complete an assignment or two, but I am back and ready to post again. There are such a lot of blogs and webpages on the internet about fashion and style, once I start surfing I just can't stop (I enjoy it though, don't get me wrong)

With all this information available it's important to stay true to your own style, be original and stand out. It is so easy to just "google" and find things nowadays; but how do you stay true to your own personal style, and still manage to keep up with the trends? Sure the outfit looked good on someone else, but that doesn't necessarilly mean it would look good or you, or it won't.

Staying true to my own personal style and favorites; today I am going to style a pair of HAREM PANTS, YES! Those MC Hammer Pants. LOL. I just love them and I know most people have a lot to say about them, but I just don't care.

So here are 3 pairings with the "MC HAMMER PANTS" :)

Brown Harem Pants

Orange Thin Belt

White Button Up Shirt

Nude Heels

Nude Bag

Cream and Gold Vintage Necklace

In this 1st pairing, I used brown harem pants. Paired them with a simple white button up shirt. The bag, shoes and necklace are all neutral colors, with the thin orange belt for some color.

Black Harem Pant

Black and Pink Racer Back Top

Denim Jacket

Vintage Pumps

Black Shopper Bag

Silver Pendant Necklace

Oversized Sunnies

I used a pair of black harem pants, paired with a pink and black racer back top with a denim jacket. Loving the vintage flats in this color, finish things off with a black shopper bag, silver pendant necklace and oversized sunnies.

Black Harem Pants

Black Sleeveless Shirt

Striped Blazer

Green Bag

Clog Heels

Vintage Silver Necklace

The last pairing is also of a pair of black harem pants, paired with a black sleeveless shirt. The focus of this pairing though would be the striped blazer, and I'm good with that. Accessorize this pairing with a vintage silver necklace, green sling bag, and black clog patforms.

All these 3 pairings are definitely for early Fall, and harem pants are definitely "all year round" kind of clothing item.

Weekend Looks: The Boyfriends Jeans

Boyfriends are definitely on trend for Fall/ Winter. They are really comfortable and you can pair them with a t-shirt and flats for a casual look or a button up shirt for a night out. Here's a look at 3 pairings for the weekend;

Boyfriend Jeans

Racer Back T-Shirt

Plaid Button Up Shirt

Sandals

"Nerdy" Sunglasses

Black Shopper

Here I am pairing the jeans with a white racer back top, tucked into the pants and the plaid shirt is worn over the top, unbuttoned. For the shoes, I chose a comfortable gladiator sandal with a small heel, accessorising with those cute-as-a-button geeky glasses and take your shopper bag with you. This look is very laid back, for running errands or just hanging out.

Trend Alert:

In this pairing, I have a few trends that you can look out for in the upcoming season. The layering and plaid clothing. I personally love plaid shirts! And I will be doing a post on layering in the upcoming weeks leading to winter.

Boyfriend Jeans

Cropped Stripped Shirt

Vintage Sandals 

Straw Trilby Hat

Vintage Sling Bag

Gold Pendant Necklace

Sunglasses

The 2nd pairing has a lot of vintage piece, I just love timeless items of clothing. Here I'm pairing the jeans with a white stripped cropped top, the strappy sandals, with a small heel as well. Added a trilby hat, a beautiful vintage pendant necklace and brown sunnies. For the final touch, I added a brown vintage sling bag to this look. The look is a also very laid back and casual.

Trend Alert:

Vintage sling bag, get one. Its timeless and its a great investment.

Boyfriend Jeans

Black Sleeveless Shirt

Fitted Blazer

Leopard Print Peep Toe

Vintage Gold Necklace

Gold Clutch

The 3rd and final pairing is for the Saturday night out or even date night. Its chic and elegant. Here I am pairing the BF jeans with a plain black button up shirt (sleeveless), a gorgeous leopard print peep toe shoe (or a bootie), the vintage gold necklace, which is worn under the colar of the shirt (you button up the shirt all the way to the top, and wear the necklace like a tie), and I have also included a simple, but elegant gold clutch bag. Now the fitted blazer does bring the look together, but can be taken off if its a nice warm night.

Trend Alert:

3 upcoming trends featured in this look, besides the jeans. 1st one is the fitted blazer. Blazers are a must have for winter, and best to get a fitted one (be on the look out for a post on how to wear your fitted blazer for winter). 2nd trend is the leopard print shoes; heels, flats, wedges, they are all in! And lastly the button up shirt, all colours basically...I think I should add a 4th trend; that gold vintage necklace, my advice is get one; I am also going to post on how to wear it and try to find out where you can buy them locally and the prices.
