Fashion Disasters

Harem Pants & Shants

There are some days I spot things like these "fashionable" pants, and I pray they don't become mainstream. It's even worse when I read about these items being promoted under a good light, but thankfully, Divine Caroline agrees that unless you're MC Hammer, you can get away with harem pants.

Also on her list of fashion faux pas were shants. Unless I find out I have secret genie powers, I shan't be caught dead in those... shitty pants, shocking pants, OK, fine, she says it stands for sheer pants, but every woman is free to interpret how she will.
