Hammer pants making a comeback

Are you Too Legit to Quit? Do you think Anything Goes on the Dance Floor? If so, then you should Pray that you're Big Man enough to kick it old skool with some Hammer Pants -- because baby, they're back.

So Let's Turn This Mutha Out!

Seriously though -- people are actually wearing those ultra-baggy, parachute sweatpants you thought were super-cool in junior high. Except ever since they started showing up on runways last year, they've been known as "harem pants."

All signs suggest that the trim-fitting looks we've been seeing the last couple years aren't heading anywhere in the near future, but yet these infamous trousers with the unfortunately baggy crotch keep creeping into the mainstream. So for those of you who've been dreaming of the day when enormous comfy pants would be cool for the fashion-forward (or anyone who's sick of sporting skin-tight, high-waisted jeans), you're in luck.

The harem pants in H&M's spring collection are only just appearing in stores, but -- though hammer pants are almost impossible to find -- here are five options that might look passable.
