Harem Pants Harem Pants Almost all ethnic costumes for both women and men require harem pants. Traditionally, harem pants fall to the ankle, fold under back up to the knee, and are gathered.
Lightweight cotton is recommended but almost any fabric with body and shape is acceptable.
Solid colours and stripes are always a safe choice, but many prints are also good. You will need a length of 2-3 metres of material. Measure from you hip to the floor. Make sure the width of the material is at least that. Fold the material in half lengthwise with right sides together, wrong side facing out.
