Harem Pants in Western Fashion

 
With harem carrot pants and harem baggy pants, fashion designers have managed to customize the harem pants in several models to make it more aesthetic and almost more Western. Sometimes fashionable and sometimes casual, they emerge in the West thanks to Paul Poiret, a haute couture visionary who dared to remodel the pants.
 

When Exoticism Electrified Sweet Paris

In 1909, Paul Poiret—an already renowned designer at the time—cultivated a deep love for oriental outfits. However, it was during one of Diaghilev’s Russian ballets he attended in Paris in June 1909, that the idea of revisiting the harem pants came to mind. Scheherazade was the evocative name of the ballet. The colorful outfits, the baggy trousers worn by male and female dancers and the exoticism that emerged from the play all had a profound impact on him. The idea of revisiting and customizing the harem pants was born.

Stylish and Fashionable Harem Pants for Women

In the year 1900, Paris was a sweet town in which pastel colors prevailed. It is Paul Poiret who will somehow break this monotony by exiting the imposed formal setting. In order to seduce the people of Paris, he will redesign the harem pants by making it stylish but not fashionable and without removing its exotic charm. The people in Paris now take on the oriental dress style to such a degree that fashion shows turn into theatrical scenes. Made out of silk, containing wide trousers withflowing lines and being tight at the ankles, Poiret did not hesitate to break with the fashion codes of the time. Gone are the days of corsets and slim-fitted garments. Moreover, he even adds turbans, kimonos, tunics and puffed skirts to his collections.
 

Harem Pants and Major Couturiers

 
Although Paul Poiret seems to be the pioneer who incorporated harem pants into Western fashion, major fashion companies are nowadays also favorable to the idea. Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Jacob, Galliano, Jean-Paul Gauthier, Ralph Lauren or Givenchy, major couturiers too dare incorporating harem pants into their shows using cotton, silk, mesh, satin, velvet, linen or denim. The masses themselves have become the new ambassadors of this oriental elegance. Low or high crotch pants, carrot or hippie version, with a regular or elastic belt, or with simple buttons, male and female models, all are available for the public.
