I am very intrigued by your pants Sharan! (That sounds a bit odd doesn't it :-)?) I wouldn't exactly call them harem, but it is a general shape that is popular with Israeli designers - all of whom I can pretty assuredly say have spent time in Thailand. I will have to check this out further.
Anyhow, I think they look terrific with the top - especially without the jacket, because in the end a fitted top does work most easily with voluminous bottoms. I would try with a small heel too. Great pick!

Thanks, Shevia! I'll try them with a heel and with some platform sandals this summer.

These look spectacular on you and anything from the Seattle meet-up warms my heart. I'm glad you were talked into these pants and I like them with your cute shoes. I see them working equally well with sandals and heels, too.

Thanks, Vicki! Next time you come to Seattle, we'll have to take you to the Finerie. Shevia, too!

I was looking forward to this post styling the new pants and it is fabulous! The shirt goes well with the volume and vibe of the piece. They look very comfortable.

Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Thanks, Gardenchick! And Jude, thanks for your encouragement, too. Your partner in crime gave me a pretty strong recommendation to get the pants. ;)

Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Thanks, Joy. They are super comfortable, without feeling sloppy. One can always use clothes like that, right?

Such a cool look! I like it with those shoes and top, and I love the blue pops of colour in the top.

I saw these glorious pants in person and loved them. Soooo fun. And the way you've styled them here is killer, Sharan. Rock on.

Oh Sharan, the Chaing Mai pants look even better than I remember at the Finerie. Plus, your "party in the back" tee is just fantastic. You are absolutely killin' it in these pics!

Those are very cool in a kinds of exotic cargo pant way. Boho Sporty Luxe. I like the shoes with straps with them. Agree you do fitted over volume silhouettes very well. It looks Arty- Edgy.

Great look on you. I haven't seen anything like those pants here and they are a fun change in silhouette. Of course, I had to check out where that awesome top came from and once again, kudos for your talents. Just beautiful.

Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Thanks, everyone! Your comments are making me glad I went ahead and bought the pants.
Denise, I'll take badass Burning Man--thank you!
Staysfit, thanks for the compliment about putting things together. I sometimes forget there is a skill to creating outfits from different designers, brands, etc., and it is something I really enjoy doing.

Jeweled replied 8 years ago
Firecracker, I think the ensemble in pics 1 and 2 is the most flattering outfit I've seen on you. It somehow really connects with YOU.
I'm trying to put my finger on why this outfit looks so flattering - and I think it may be that it's more "yin" with the soft scoop neck top and soft-shaped pants.
Most of the other pieces I've seen on you have been more "yang" influenced.
I'm not sure if it feels that way to you, but I do think the lines in this outfit would be worth your further exploration!
-
Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Jeweled, thanks for the thoughts! I hadn't looked at it that way, so thanks for pointing out those elements. I know I am really drawn to more interesting pants--some fullness, cargo pockets, drapiness. It's hard to find styles with those elements that I feel are also flattering on me. The t-shirt is a pattern I've made several times. The big curve of the wide scoop neck is more of a spring/summer style for me, because I run cold!

karymk replied 8 years ago
Your pants are perfect for your style. What fabric is that? I'm thinking a leather jacket on top too....Like your self coutured tee, esp. the back. I am agape at anyone who can sew on knits. I just never learned, so I don't.

Aida replied 8 years ago
Ooh how fun that you've already taken the pants for a spin! Loved 'em in person, love 'em styled here :D
-
Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Thanks, Aida!
Karen, the pants are cotton. I did try on a leather jacket and liked it--I will wear that combo sometime. And knits aren't as hard to sew as I used to think they were. The knits have changed, and so have machines.

A super cool outfit! Those pants are perfectly fabulous, and perfectly you. They are stunning with the top (I love that scoop back!).

I love harem pants and these are really interesting. They look a little like a harem cargo pant?? Love your outfit.
-
Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Yes, Deborah--harem and cargo all at once. And a bit of wrap style and jogger pant too! Which I'm now finding pretty funny--let's just pack all the trends into one garment--ha ha!

They look so cool! Do you have long legs? Because I guess you have if you can pull this pants this good. Kudos.

Style Fan replied 8 years ago
I love those pants. I am a fan of fitted on top and volume on the bottom. I might see if I can find them. A local boutique carries Desiqual.
I love how you have put the outfit together. The top is great. I can sew a bit. I so admire the fabbers who are sewers. I might take it up again.
-
Firecracker (Sharan) replied 8 years ago
Dixie, thank you! My legs are slightly long proportionally, but not so much that I don't have to hem all my flares or bootcuts.
Thanks, Style Fan! If you take a sewing class or two, you might find it easier to pick back up again.

lyn67 replied 8 years ago
Whoa, the new cargo-harems:-) I'm amazed how easy you can wear these so very different and intriguing special items, Sharan. Desigual is a brand I can so admire on others, but just doesn't suit my persona! Very edgy, I would try them with ankle strap heel and no jacket for more glamour, but this is a great outfit per se!
-
Caro replied 8 years ago
Your outfit looks very French to me! I have been wanting what I would call harem pants, they have some this season at H&M and everywhere... been eyeing all the ones on Spartoo, but I am really not sure how to style them with a top and shoes! I can only imagine a tank and flip flops...
