It had to house over 800 wives and concubines, so naturally it had to be large.

An unfortunate consequence of having multiple wives is having multiple daughters. Sons are wanted as most of them get killed in battle and you have to assure that at least one survives. Daughters however - well you end up with more of them than what you intend to have. So what to do with them all? Well one option (if you are of the aristocracy) is to marry them off to a wealthy man.

Guys like King Solomon are in the business of keeping his supporters happy and one way of doing that is to accept their daughters as gifts.

If a group of women is called a harem what is a group of men called?

The word Harem is Hebrew for forbidden, so the word is not specifying man or woman. It was however used to describe the quarters of women as being Harem or forbidden. The men who had women as slaves, servants, and wives owned them as property so they were also considered Harem property. If you are talking about the collective noun for men and women the word for a group of women is a "gaggle" of women. For men it is a "band" of men.

What can you wear with harem pants to go into town with friends?

Flats, or flat shoes with a slight, rounded heel, are good with Harem pants. So are stilettos, but I wouldn't suggest that for going into town with friends. :) A slim tank top or camisole is always cute, but if it's cold, I would suggest a half-sleeve shirt, but not a loose one. I wouldn't recommend anything loose with Harem pants.
