There are two types of belly dancing pants that are commonly sold at the moment, pants with flares and harem pants. Flare pants are perfect when paired with an over skirt but harem pants do not require an over skirt. Harem pants are belly dancing pants that have enough drama to stand alone and make your costume stand out.

Flare pants look just like the big bell-bottoms that were so popular in the 70's. The only difference is the materials that these belly dancing pants are made from. Belly dancing pants should be comfortable and easy to move in so these flare pants are made from Lycra and other lightweight, stretchable material.

Harem pants are exactly what you think they are, they usually have a drawstring at the waist and around the ankles. The legs are voluminous and give you the perfect image of an Arabian princess lounging in her harem surrounded by servant girls. These pants make a fabulous addition to your costume wardrobe and are just fun to wear during a class.

Either type of pants will have numerous designs to make them stand out. Flare pants come in many different colors and may have certain detailing to suit different costumes. Whether that is small mirrors sewn all over to give a dazzling effect or intricate beading, there really is not limit on how elaborate these pants can be.

Harem pants traditionally come in one color but they can be made from many different types of fabric. Satin and silk give a luxurious look and feel to these belly dancing pants. These pants can also be decorated with coins around the waistline and the legs to give an even more authentic feel to the pants. Whatever you decide to choose you are sure to feel like an Arabian princess as you shimmy and shake in your amazing belly dancing pants.
