Hammer pants

Hammer pants are customized/modified baggy pants tapered at the ankle with a sagging rise made suitable for hip-hop dancing.^[1] They were popularized in the 1980s and 1990s by American rapper MC Hammer.^[2] They were inspired by harem pants, which originated in the Middle East and were introduced to Western fashion by Paul Poiret around 1910.

MC Hammer often wore them during live concerts and music videos.

Hammer's specialized clothing line would come in a variety of colors and were usually shiny and flashy-styled, as seen throughout his hip-hop career during talk show appearances, concerts, music videos and again on Hammertime, his 2009 TV reality show.^[3]^[4]
