The other day I was asked how to wear harem pants when you are short.

It is harder when you are pint sized, whoops I mean petite, but definitely possible! As I am only 5ft tall, I feel I am qualified to give advice on this issue hehe.

An easy start is to wear a heel as I have done here, alternatively, just wear a flat that shows some skin between the hem and the shoe.

While I love a really dropped crotch, perhaps just hoist them up a bit or fold the waist over then flounce your top a bit more to cover what you have just done.

Highlight your waist, this can be done in a few ways –  a fitted top, please note that does not mean a tight top, rather one that has been cut well with some good shape, like this blouse. Alternatively go a cropped top or jacket, not only will this highlight the pant, but it will also give you a waist and elongate the leg. The contours in my cape also act to give me a waist.

The fabric and cut of the pant is incredibly important, choose your pants in a soft or silky fabric that drapes well. And make sure they are well cut and fall or gather in the right places….not all harems are created equal!

Finally keep your jewelry or accessories to a minimum, just a simple necklace to accentuate your waist is probably all you need, I tend not to wear scarfs with my harems.

There you go….Wearing Harems for shorties 101!
