Leggings have been received better by major brands like Benetton and ginger and cost around Rs.599 to Rs.799. Harem pants, that were popularized by Kareena Kapoor in the movie “Jab We Met”, are going to stick around for another whole season predict the retailers and the college goers sure co operate well with them!
Although designer Asmita Marwah personally believes Harem pants were out of the ramp almost a year ago, she swears by the magic of chic tunics, chiff dresses teamed up with leggings. She excludes the college going teens from such fashion rules and believes if presented properly, anything looks good on teens!
