Draped Styling Trend: Draped Bottoms

Last week we covered draped dresses, tops and skirts. Today we dig further into draped styling focusing on pants.
Celebrities have adopted the draped pants trend pretty fast — both as draped pants and as hareem pants (harem pants). Can you guess who’s an absolute leader in sporting the trend? Yes, we are referring to Kim Kardashian! Besides loving double-breasted blazers, Kardashian also wears hareem pants a lot.
Gwen Stefani seen in the picture above wore hareem pants while running errands in Los Angeles back in August. Gwen paired her ali baba trousers with Raw 7 Shredded Tunic [sold out, was $196 via Manison LA], Christian LouboutinPigalle Snakeskin Heels and Marc Jacobs 186/S Sunglasses.
While hareem pants trend was brewing since this past Spring season, we’ve noticed another trend emerging as an alternative to hareem pants. Such designers as Givenchy, Greta Constantine, Balenciaga (and others) showed draped classic pants and even draped jumpsuits on their runways.
Needless to say, both trends will gain enough strength and star power before fall/winter season is out.
