Hammer Pants

Loose-fit hammer pants with bold 80s energy and yoga-ready comfort—perfect for movement, meditation, or everyday spiritual expression.

What Are Hammer Pants Called?

Popularly known as hammer pants, this iconic style was brought to fame by MC Hammer in the 80s. Also referred to as parachute pants, harem pants, or balloon pants, they’re known for their exaggerated drop-crotch and roomy fit. In modern fashion, they’re often grouped with genie pants, boho trousers, and aladdin pants—all designed to allow freedom of movement and self-expression.

What Are Hammer Pants Slang?

In the 80s and 90s, fans dubbed them "hammer time pants" or "MC Hammer trousers", a nod to the rapper’s hit song U Can’t Touch This. Among streetwear circles, they're still affectionately called mchammerpants or simply pants MC Hammer. Today, their legacy lives on in hippie trousers, festival harem pants, and bohemian wide leg pants.

Can You Do Yoga In Hammer Pants?

Absolutely. Many of our styles—like harem yoga pants and drop-crotch boho trousers—are designed specifically for yoga. Their free-size fit, breathable modal and cotton blends, and soft stretchable fabric make them ideal for both gentle flows and deeper poses. Whether it’s a morning meditation or a power vinyasa session, you’ll move with grace and comfort.

What Is The Difference Between Hammer Pants And Parachute Pants?

While often confused, parachute pants were typically made from slick nylon and known for their tight fit with zippered pockets. In contrast, hammer pants, especially the 1980s MC Hammer pants, featured loose, balloon-like silhouettes, exaggerated volume, and a bohemian aesthetic. Today’s evolution includes tribal harem pants, festival jumpsuits, and cotton genie trousers, marrying tradition with function.

What Year Were Hammer Pants Popular?

Hammer pants exploded in popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, becoming synonymous with pop culture icons like MC Hammer. Now, they’ve made a comeback through the lens of boho fashion, yoga wear, and hippie revival culture, represented in pieces like hippie trousers for women, plus size harem trousers, and rayon festival pants.

Are Hammer Pants In Style?

Yes—especially within bohemian, festival, and spiritual fashion communities. Our collection includes high-waisted harem pants, baggy pants with pockets, flared elephant trousers, and patterned sari pants, all tailored to today’s taste for freedom, artistry, and comfort. Whether you’re at a yoga retreat, dancing at a festival, or meditating at home, these pants embrace modern soul with vintage vibes.
