Trendwatch: Genie pants?

Marc Jacobs Spring 2007 RTW
adf
Last year (which in fashion might as well have been last decade) Marc Jacobs showed big, billowy Hammer pants on his Spring '07 runway. But as we know, Marc Jacobs can't always be trusted when it comes to truly wearable clothes. However, the genie look has officially made it to the streets. H&M and Topshop have both included harem pants in their Spring 08 collections, and amazingly, at last night's CFDA Fashion Awards, three whole celebs wore them on the red carpet.

Ashley Olsen

Maggie Gyllenhaal


Naomi Campbell

Even though it is now readily available, this is a hard trend to pull off. If you dare, I would definitely recommend pairing them with heels and a more structured top, like a blazer.

So, what do you think? Is it officially Hammer time?

Not a good look. Even Naomi didn't make me want to get some.

Those shades make her look like a robot. The pants... not so much.
