Palazzo pants truly are pretty perfect! With their comfortable fit, flared legs and superb style, palazzo pants look great as both dressy and casual attire. Palazzo pants are long women’s trousers cut with a loose, extremely wide leg that flares out from the waist or hip. Palazzo pants differ from bell bottoms in that palazzo pants drape from the waist or hip, whereas bell bottoms fit snug in the thighs and flare out once the pant leg is below the knee.
Palazzo pants are popular all year round, but are particularly trendy as a summer season style, as they are often loose and tend to be flattering in light, flowing fabrics that are breathable in hot weather. Other materials that are used in palazzo pants are silk crepe, jersey, cotton and wool. Wide legged palazzo pants are comfortable, fashionable, trendy and chic!
Palazzo pants wear well in the office, the movie theater, brunch, baby and bridal showers and anywhere else you want to look gorgeous and glamorous. For a dressy look wear a satin blouse and five inch platform heels with a knockout pair of palazzos. For a casual vibe, wear a form fitted T-shirt and flats. No matter how you choose to accessorize your palazzo pants, when draped in the elegant pant you’ll look like “all that!”
Palazzo pants for women first became a popular trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The style resembled the wide legged cuffed trousers worn by some women fond of the avant-garde fashions in the 1930s and 1940s, most notably actresses such as Katherine Hepburn, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich. The palazzo pant works as a mixture of pants and skirts (much like culottes) in that they provide the comfort of pants but carry the dressier look of a skirt. Often times when you’re walking in pleasing palazzos, it’s hard to tell if you’re dressed in pants or a floor length skirt.
Palazzo pants flare out evenly from the waist or hips to the ankle, with the widest flare at the hem. Palazzo pants are often referred to as Gaucho Trousers, but an authentic pair of Gaucho Trousers only extends down to the mid-calf length. No matter what you call them, all palazzo pants can be called spectacular.
Palazzo pants never go out of style and have remained fashionable since they hit the catwalk scene! Cool, chic and stylish. Will they stay relevant in the fashion world? I’d say yes.
