Yesterday, I talked about the revival of vibrantly-patterned, pegged pants. Well, with the good comes the…not so good. Yes, harem pants also seem to be having a moment. It’s a trend that just won’t seem to go away, and one of its latest proponents is none other than Cara Delevingne. We praise off-duty model style so often, but this mix of Burton sweat/harem pants (at Burton for $44.96, from $59.95) with a polished blazer feels downright lazy. In fairness, this poor girl is just out shopping, trying to live her life. Though she didn’t ask to be photographed, the fact that one of the most famous models in the world has been seen in the style will surely add fuel to the harem fire. If you’re a fan of the baggy look, here are a few other options, ranging from relaxed to surprisingly elegant…
