One of the somewhat surprising trends of the past year has been the rise (pun intended) of Harem Pants. The pants, which are fuller in the thigh/calf and gathered at the ankle (sometimes knee), are a comfortable and more forgiving alternative to leggings.
How to Wear Harem Pants
The harem pants look best if you have a defined waist that is proportionate to your hips (meaning that your waist is 7 to 12 inches smaller than your hips) and with a relatively flat stomach.

Looks like Rachel Roy has a few cute pairs of harem pants on sale right now for under $50.

Good call with this one. I’m not sure which style looks best with which body type. I have really long legs. Any suggestions?
