Palazzo Pants

One of the most difficult trends this year is Palazzo pants. Usually made of a light material, they have a very wide cut leg which almost creates the appearance of a maxi-skirt when they are worn. 


On the left are a pair from asos.com which are one of the easiest I've seen to wear. I have seen a couple of pairs which were ankle length, personally I think this spoils the overall effect, as they should reach the ground when worn with heels (preferably platforms or wedges) so you look as if you're almost floating across the floor. The styling on the left by asos.com is quite casual, a difficult look to pull off when wearing Palazzo pants. 


If I were to wear them, I'd use them as part of a formal outfit, possibly even to wear to the office. I'd team them with a transparent chiffon blouse tucked into the waist of the pants and then put a very chunky, thick leather belt around the middle to cover up where the two items meet. This would accentuate the silhouette as the pants and the blouse are both very voluminous, the belt would cinch you in at the waist but not spoil the line. 


Any other ideas on how you would wear Palazzo's?
