Palazzo pants are very wide legged trousers, sometimes so wide in the leg that they can be mistaken for a maxi skirt. They were very popular in the 70's alongside the flare, but rather than just being wide at the bottom, palazzos take it to extremes!
They are usually made of soft flowing jersey fabric (there are more tailored options but the jersey gives them that drapey, hippy look) and often have vibrant and wacky prints on them!
I myself have two pairs - plain black ones from ASOS which I have actually worn for work, and cream floral ones from River Island which I'm saving for warmer weather. They are SO comfortable and create such a striking silhouette, enough to turn several heads on my local high street! Who dares wins, as they say....

Ideally, you would wear a nice tailored shirt/blouse with palazzo pants.
Palazzo pants go all the way to the ankle while gauchos stop around the knee or calf.
Absolutely. As a petite lady myself I have a black pair from Dorothy Perkins. If you are going to wear palazzo pants you must team them with a pair of heels and a tucked in top to add height. I recommend you also stick to a plain pair or palazzo's with a small print, otherwise they may drown you. Hope that helps.

Palazzo pants in various colors and styles are available at Lord and Taylor, Dress Barn and White House Black Market. They can also be found on Amazon and Overstock.
I saw in the Speigal catalog dressy palazzo pants that were very nice. I am always looking at these because my mom wears them and the ones I saw could go to a formal ball with a sequin top. I would get black in both top and bottom adding silver or gold jewelry shoes/bag to set it off. You could get away with it.
I Mean I Wouldn't Guess Why Not! The Pants Look Dressy To Me, (But Then Again I Don't Care What People Think!) The Pants Would Look Really Dressy If You Made Sure To Wear A Real Dressy Top!
