ELIZABETH & JAMES Cuff Dress with Hi-Lo Hem

Founded by fashion darlings Ashley Olsen and Mary Kate Olsen in 2007, Elizabeth & James has the hybrid appeal of a lovechild between la bohème and haute couture; sort of like 70s YSL meets 60s Givenchy for the modern young women – a winning combination in our book!

This ethereal asymmetrical sheath of sheer fabric is trimmed with safety pin embellishments at the cuffs for a bit of punkish, cool-girl counter-balance. It comes with a slip lining, too. Perfect for dinner parties or drinks downtown, this stunner doesn’t need much else to wow ’em, but high-heeled gladiators and a mini shoulder bag would look amazing with it.

ELIZABETH AND JAMES 'Marienne' Vest

The ‘Marianne’ cavalry twill vest from Elizabeth and James totally looks like something that designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would wear, doesn't it?
A sleek interpretation of the 'military chic' trend, this vest features grosgrain band details at the front, a single hook-and-eye closure, and adjustable buckled strap at the sateen-twill back panel.
The feminine, waist cinching fit accentuates your figure.
Pick one up and layer over your favorite tee, tank top, jeans, or dress.

ELIZABETH AND JAMES (by the Olsen twins) "Martha" Silk/Lace Top

We tend to picture “Martha” as that slightly matronly, grandma-like woman. But clearly for Elizabeth and James, “Martha” hardly means looking frumpy; rather it is a tempting top so terrific, that admirers will be smitten with its darling style.
The sheer distressed lace inset creates a flirty peek-a-boo effect and lets you pander to your romantic (and seductive) tendencies.
This lovely top speaks for itself, so wear it with simple jeans, basic sandals, and minimalist jewelry for a look that exudes a quiet yet stunning beauty :-)
(RRP US$365)

Those of you who watched the recent Emmys may have caught actress/songstress Lea Michele (Rachel) rocking this top in the Glee-themed opening skit.

ELIZABETH AND JAMES Pleated Cropped Harem Pants

Whether you call them harem or hareem or hammer -- and whether you love or are still in the dark about them -- drop-crotch pants, are all the go for this season (and well into the next).
Noticeably, there’s even a updated shape that the designers are playing with this season: The pants still have a billowing fit, but taper in at the ankle, typically with a side flap on the hip which buttons or ties at the waist.
These faux suede pleated cropped harem pants by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Elizabeth and James collection can be an interesting and welcome alternative to the office wardrobe. They can also be a fashion-forward bottom to wear with heels for the evening occasion. Just remember to pair it with a fitted/structured/cropped top or jacket to balance out the proportions. Equally, why not pop a pair in the holiday luggage to wear over a bikini on the way to the beach for a trendy cover-up!
(RRP US$365 ~ US$380)

(Other harem pants available in-store, too!)

More Reasons To Wear Harem Pants Now:-
1. They’re exceedingly comfy, and a great pants option for warm weather, especially when you don’t want to squeeze your sweaty legs into jeans. The airy feeling around your bum is quite delightful, trust ;-)
2. You can wear the biggest granny panties ever and no one would realize it.
3. They enhance your fashion confidence. Think about it ... you see someone wearing harem pants and you think, that girl must really know her personal style well, or, she must have balls (and if she does, I can’t see them through those pants).

Celebs show how harem pants could be used -- both off and on the red carpet.
