We can only imagine what the poor sweatshop workers must have been thinking as they stitched up the poopy rise on these dreadful 'heathered' sweatpants for Forever 21. Certainly they couldn't have been thinking that they'd be paired with a garish rhinestone bangle and a pair of cheap do-me pumps. We suspect this styling decision was also something of a surprise to the photographer since s/he clearly just gives up in the photo on the right. Sadly, at a mere $15, it's only a matter of time before these fast fashion abortions start offending us at the supermarket. The good news is, like most F21 products, this one will likely disintegrate upon impact with a washer agitator. One can only hope that our lust for cheaply cannibalized Occidental fashion will disappear right along with it.
Sidenote: One has to wonder whether F21's marketing people understand the term 'harem' beyond its contemporary associations with an ugly pant...
...because this is what 'modern harem' summons in our pop culture-addled mind (and who wants to pay even $1 for that??):
