BooHoo is selling these Cheryl Split Front Leggings that combine shorts with harem pants to come up with a vented fashion statement. The slashed fronts reveal [shorts underneath](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harland-threads) and act as air vents, which cause the harem pants to take on a voluminous shape -- especially in a strong wind.

There is some derision online concerning these [split front leggings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destroyed-tights), but the colors aren't bad and since they're on sale, someone somewhere will probably be wearing the last available pair very soon.

I'd like to meet that person.
