Harem pants are a recent fashion trend we'd rather soon forget.

But designer David Lerner's take on this garment is totally unforgettable...for all the wrong reasons.

This gray heather drawstring elastic waist-banded hunk of hideous looks like grandpa's saggy-crotched long johns.

And the worst part? This thing costs $121.

Oof.

You can see photos of it from multiple angles (shudder) here.
