What are Palazzo Pants?

Answer 1

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....
