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!
