Title: Wonderfully unique
Post by: Sevan on September 21, 2011, 06:17:26 PM
While I don't own either of these styles of garments...I want them! First is the "Harem pants" Example seen here (http://www.etsy.com/listing/70475325/womens-harem-pants-handmade-in-cotton?ref=sr_gallery_6&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=tai+pants&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade)

or Thai fisherman pants. Example here (http://www.etsy.com/listing/76305473/gorgious-dark-purple-thai-fisherman?ref=sr_gallery_2&ga_search_submit=&ga_ref=auto&ga_search_query=thai+fisherman+pants&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade&show_panel=true)

I know that both these styles of pants are technically "gendered" styles...but here in the US they're rather unknown styles of garments and I think they read as almost a skirt mixed with pants...and to my mind that is a unisex type of clothing.

Also long tunics. I don't have any...again. But I just feel them to be so unisexed. (again, they're not...this is only my view of them.)

So what do you like? Is there a type of clothing that you feel to be unisexed/androgyne in style? Weither it truly is or it's just your minds eye!

Like the Kurdish style trousers :)

After praying... (http://www.flickr.com/photos/58991378@N00/331916946#)

Really like this guy's  ^^^ sarong and especially the way it's tied. Never been to Bali and didn't know men wear flower pattern there, must be a Hindu thing. Love sarongs, never, ever wear anything else at home.

The world is strange, one can go to mosque to pray in Indonesia in a way one can't walk down the street here.

I like Thai fishermens' pants.  I have a pair similar to http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-PATCHWORK-THAI-FISHERMAN-YOGA-MASSAGE-PANTS-HIPPIE-TROUSERS-BLACK-B7-/160653710722 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-PATCHWORK-THAI-FISHERMAN-YOGA-MASSAGE-PANTS-HIPPIE-TROUSERS-BLACK-B7-/160653710722) and a pair similar to http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-PATCHWORK-THAI-FISHERMAN-YOGA-MASSAGE-PANTS-HIPPIE-TROUSERS-BLUE-B4-/160654312014 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIQUE-PATCHWORK-THAI-FISHERMAN-YOGA-MASSAGE-PANTS-HIPPIE-TROUSERS-BLUE-B4-/160654312014), both of which fit very well, as well as purple rayon ones that are huge but very lightweight, and some red-brown ones I don't like as well.

They seem best with something casual for a top, like a t-shirt or tank top or the like.  Great for warm weather, not so much for cold. :)  I like the styles that have a contrasting fold at the top, but it'd probably be pointless for me since I tend to wear long t-shirts.

I've also wanted to try harem pants, but haven't done so yet.  I did try "pirate" pants with wide straight legs that have a very skirt-like effect, but I found I don't like them because of length (about halfway down the calf) and only use them as pajamas.  Maybe something with lots of fabric that way but a longer length and a wide cuff at the bottom.

(The pirate shirt though?  I like.  I'll have to get one in white too, and if it comes in purple... :D  Mine has no ruffles, but long ties at the neck which hang down, and big sleeves, and is generally oversized.)

The Thai Fishermen pants are pretty neato.
