They're baaack! Every fashion piece has its cycle, and now it's time for harem and drop crotch styles to make their biggest comeback.

Harem Pants fashion, the popular style pants in the 80’s is back and even more popular than before this 2011 trends fashion. Harem Pants are casual in design and there are many new styles such as ‘Drop-Crotch pants’.

Harem is back in a big way.
The history of harem pants can be traced back to nearly 2,000 years ago when they were worn as traditional garments in Western and Southwestern Asia. The pants were known by many names depending on the region and they can be worn by both men and women. In Western culture, loose sagging pants were introduced as women's clothing during mid-19th century. At that time, they were called "bloomers" and "Turkish trousers." In the 80's and early 90's, the baggy pants or harem pants were re-fashioned into mainstream pants by a super rapper M.C. Hammer.

Harem pants have been a hot trend for the past few seasons, especially in Spring/Summer 2009 and returned to the runways from New York to London and Paris to Milan again in 2011-2012. ...
... It’s obvious why! The big billowy pants are not only comfortable and light, but define volume, allowing one to play around with proportions. Harem pants are proving to be a fashion statement to be made by the sleek, sophisticated, and chic. Modified into easier, more wearable styles harem pants actually help form that hourglass figure of a women’s body that many find attractive.

The Evolution of Casually Drop Crotch
It all started with the “Harem” pants that found their way into women’s closets a year or so ago…But recently we’ve been seeing more and more men rock the look in a more tapered, tame way. Drop crotch pants are in the same class as “Harem” pants and “Carrot Shaped” pants. But the major difference from the normal harem pants, (and the reason why Drop-Crotch pants can be acceptable in most cases), is the fabric and tailoring. Materials can range from denim to fleece, or even wool. All three styles are different cuts, but still have the same overall effect. Drop crotch is the most dramatic in the delivery of the cut of the pants. The “crotch” on the pants is much lower than traditional pants. The pants are loose around the thigh area and skinny on the lower half of the leg. They also sometimes have a tapered and/or elastic ankle. This trend is an alternative to the everyday traditional shape jeans also.
