Harlem Pants: They Are Totally In!

One thing that I did not think would be in this spring is Harlem Pants. Now really and truly, I have never owned a pair of Harlem pants but just by looking at them in this picture, I do not think that I could really ever handle wearing a pair or owning a pair.

What is with the way that they poof out near the hips and thighs? That only draws attention to those areas ladies, so if you are trying to draw attention away from that area, you may not want to invest in something like this! Also … the tight weight and then the like leggings at the bottom … really, what is that?

Honestly ladies, if you like this pair of pants, please … by all means, let me know why. I would love some feedback on why these pants are popular and why people are buying them at all!

This collection is so fabulous. Itâ€™s like feminine beauty mixed with tomboy chic. I love it. The army camouflage prints are fabulous, and the drawstring trousers are so comfortable. Even the rolled pant legs are great. The whole collection screams â€œwear me!â€. I love the use of scarves, although some think they have been overdone. I think they definitely add character, and these designs have masses of character. The modelsâ€™ hair and make-up was perfectly done also, nothing too much, just simple and chic. The whole show was absolutely wonderful! I donâ€™t really think that the pictures will do it justice, but here they are anyway.

Street Style Blogs

One of my favourite morning rituals includes running through my street style blog rolls. If you’re not familiar with street style blogs, they’re essentially ultra-local fashion/photo blogs that showcase people and styles bopping around their hometown streets.

Why do I love it? Because it’s about as real as you can get. I like seeing how trends look on the regular person, how everyday people, not magazine stylists, are putting items together, and what’s coming out of cities all over the world because we all know that fashion starts in the street.

There are hundreds out there, but my preferred choices include The Sartorialist (New York), Pike/Pine (Seattle), Face Hunter (Paris/Global), The Commodified (Vancouver/Canada), Hel-Looks (Helsinki), StyleScout (London), Stil (Berlin), Reykjavik Looks (Reykjavik), Street Fancy (San Francisco), Copenhagen Street Style (Copenhagen), and, of course, Tokyo Street Style (Tokyo).

If you have a local or favourite street style blog, post it up in the comments and share the fashion love.
