Harem pants are an adaptable pant that can very easily take you from schlepping about the markets during the day to hitting a wine bar in the evening. By simply changing your choice of footwear, adding a blazer or accessorising, you dress up harem pants in just a few minutes. This versatility makes harem pants the perfect choice to pack when traveling, or as your outfit of choice when you're not sure where the day will take you.

Here are some ideas about how you can convert your harem pants from casual day wear to sophisticated evening attire:






1. Shoes: Go with simple flats for day wear and ankle boots or patent heels for the evening.

2. Accessories: Keep accessories minimal for daytime, some chunky wooden bangles or a necklace should do. For the evening you could wrap pearls around your neck, wear big hoop earrings, fix a fascinator to your hair or try wearing a vintage lace collar to smarten your look.

3. Jacket: A button down cardigan works well for the day time, but when evening strikes, try a leather (or faux) bomber jacket or a cropped blazer.

4. Top: During the day a great way to balance your baggy harem pant is with a fitted tshirt. For the evening, however, a lace collared cotton shirt or ruffled front button down with a waistcoat to add shape will formalise and sophisticate the outfit.
