Men don't get harem pants..

And I suspect they never will. 


This is for all the women with men in our lives who look at us with all kinds of crazy when we rock any of these trends. 


My top fashion trends that men just don't understand:

Harem Pants Aka jodhpur/balloon/MC Hammer pants, whatever you want to call them, unless you've tried on a pair you can't deny their comfort. That being said harem pants are not for everybody. They do have a tendency to make your bottom look droopy, but these pants have definitely had their moment numerous seasons across the runways. So guys, I'm not trying to look like Princess Jasmine, but the play on silhouettes is a fun way to mix it up.

Big Sunglasses Yes I do look like an insect, and no I don't care. Oversized sunglasses are so multi-functional, great for covering up a 'night-before' or when I am in one of my anti-makeup days (another thing men don't understand, we do get tired of our daily makeup routines). 

 

Nicole Richie wears it right, just the top half.

Head to toe-too much bag!

Loose Fit Anything Men don't understand your fashion choices if it isn't body hugging, bootylicious and accentuates every curve on your body. It's not only fashionable, its comfortable as well and why not throw that element in as often as we can? I especially love loose fit tops. Just be sure if one half is loose, the other half should be body-conscious. We don't want to look like bag-ladies.. unless that comes back into style, in that case then we'll talk.

Adorned Headbands Juvenile no more! Headbands have come back in a very big way over the past couple years. A great quick fix when your bangs just aren't working for you. I guess when men think of headbands they revert back to their 8-year old selves and immediately want to pull it off your head and give your hair a 'messy', but thats just their problem. And while we're on the subject of hair, why can't I wear my hair in some crazy top of the head messy bun every once in awhile?

Jumpsuits An outfit all in one, something I do advocate. My suggestion when wearing this trend; a belt is going to really pull the look together. To make it more sophisticated and office-appropriated, pair with a black blazer. The jumpsuit is again not a trend for everybody, especially if you have a longer torso, and well you know where I'm getting at..

Oversized Handbags I have a lot of stuff to cart around everyday. So when my handbag takes up half my body length, it is necessary.

Everything Mary-Kate and Ashley Wear To some; crazy boho miniature bag-ladies. To me; Fashion Icons. Although they are usually way ahead of the fashion curve, I find both their ready-to-wear lines, The Row and somewhat more affordable Elizabeth and James, very wearer-friendly. They make clothes that look good on a variety of body types, not just theirs, because well come on!


Sorry guys, if MK and Ash wear something, it's going to become cool!
