Everyone likes to be fashionably dressed, but the new trend for this summer might not be one for the masses – Hammer pants. Named after 80s rapper MC Hammer who famously danced in them to tunes such as Can’t Touch This and Pray, Hammer pants are harem, belly dancer style trousers with a baggy, saggy crotch. The outlandish style of pants had been in the fashion wilderness, but is now enjoying a comeback. They come in various lengths, ranging from knee-length shorts to full-on trousers and different degrees of bagginess.

Such options are in place to help customize the Hammer look to your body shape, but such ballooned clothing might still remain the domain of the most fashion experimental among us. If you like the sound of Hammer pants check out the range at La Redoute (the soft grey harem pants in white, picture above cost £27) or ASOS (Diesel, £50).
