Hi Victoria - sorry for the delay replying - I wasn't able to reply while away. So yes, the Hush ones are definitely baggier...and a thicker cotton too so they are less prone to bagginess at the knees! xx

This is the first time I've seen haram pants look good! Love the one with the red jacket and the evening look especially.

Oh you look great in them! I bought the Next ones in black this weekend but they just look like slightly baggy leggings on me. I'm a 5ft3 size 14 apple shape with quite big thighs though which might be why. I'm so sad as I've gone completely off leggings and wanted an alternative. I don't suppose the Hush ones are baggier than the Next ones?

Didn't you do well Avril! Love the going out outfit in particular. I have black ones also but I find you need to try on a few things with them to find something that works. At the minute with approximately 30 seconds to get dressed most days they don't make the cut! But they are great when done well. X

Whoa Avril - I have some catching up to do with you. I don't have a pair of harems yet but you are making them look really easy to wear and dress up. The thing is finding a pair where the material isn't too thin so they don't look too "home wear". Right, I'm on the case!

I prefer your' styling hands down Avril. My favourite look would be number three. I have those sandals too. H xx

I like the first one and the last one the most. They're not for me but that's why I like reading blogs, because you ladies will test out all the trends that I won't! Harems do look comfy - I like that yours don't have a baggy saggy crotch a la Hammer pants.... :)

2014-05-20T07:10:31.000+01:00

Wow! Avril....you have done an amazing job of styling these! The first look is my favourite! Are you converted enough with the harems to try a printed pair yet?? xx

You've done an excellent job styling these pants. I particularly like the last two outfits, my very favorite being the one with the denim jacket. I, too, was VERY hesitant when these style pants entered the scene again, that is until I saw my close friend wear them and look amazing. I knew I had to find the right pair, which I did by Wayf from Nordstrom.com (the same pair she wore). I wear them often, though I tend to dress them up rather than wear them super casual. I own a black pair and navy pair. I also own a more casual pair with a tuxedo stripe down the sides. I LOVE the way harem (track pants) look with a pointy toe heel. I'm glad you gave this style a try and found the "right" pair for you. They look amazing and you've styled them marvelously. I have yet to style mine with a denim jacket but it is next on my list now! Thanks for the inspiration. - Celina :)

You've done a fab job of styling these. I have a black pair that I wear around the house but I would never go out in them, the Husband thinks they are obsenely unattractive, he says it looks like a nappy is being worn. He then ventured into a rant about what harem actually means....

2014-05-19T23:07:06.000+01:00

Hi Avril, I have not tried harems, must give them a go having seen how you styled yours. My fav looks are 3 and 4, although you look great in all of them.

2014-05-19T16:44:44.000+01:00

Really clever how you did this - my fave is no3, though I also love the final dressy look. I want a pair now too, though fear I'd never shoehorn myself back into jeans again once I'd tried these!

2014-05-19T14:56:05.000+01:00

Hi
I also bought the next ones but these look really nice the only problem I found was you got the shape of your knees in them which I found a bit off putting anybody have that issue and know a solution

The girl did VERY good indeed!!! Love the last two looks. I tried on harem/joggers in Next and they were beyond awful on me. Should I order from Hush?? I have to say, I'm very tempted having seen these pics. Good job Avril!! x

2014-05-19T12:55:24.000+01:00

I'm stunned, amused and excited that you are now a convert:) Love the evening look - for me the bigger the better when it comes to harems!! xxx

Oh you look so good in harems! I have the Hush one...

2014-05-19T12:36:12.000+01:00

Oh you look so good in harems! I have the Hush ones and probably mostly wear them how you have styled them in the first pic, and this is my favourite of yours! Although I love them, my husband hates them - have you had similar feedback?! I don't think men get them!
