If you are at all into online shopping / browsing / scoping fashion blogs chances are you’ve come across these pants a time or two. Call them what you wish… harem pants, genie pants, I’ve even heard them referred to as “Pinterest Pants”. The Mariner pant by Joie is basically a super chic sweat pant that can be totally dressed up or down. I mean, sweats that are socially acceptable to wear out to a dinner party or a night on the town…? Count me in! They’d also be super cute for the holidays [Thanksgiving + elastic waistband = a winning combo]! They retail for $168… however, I found a similar pair at my local H&M for only $17.95. I love this price point because as with any trend they could be here today and gone tomorrow. I would hate to spend $100+ bucks on a pair of sweats that I’ll be over by next season. So what do you think… are you digging these genie pants? Would you spend one wish on the “real” or go for the “steal”?
