Palazzo Pants, the wear anywhere pants
The pant for any age — Palazzo pants
What are palazzo pants? They are long women’s trousers cut with a loose, extremely wide leg that flares out from the waist. Palazzo pants for women first became a popular trend in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I distinctly remember my mom had a black pair. She was only 5′ 2″ but somehow she carried them off.
This spring you will find palazzo pants and trousers everywhere. You will find every color under the sun, however, the most prevalent look and fabric for this season, is a black and white graphic print, such as these Weekend Palazzo Pants from Monroe and Main that they sent along asked me to style. Discover how the looks I created with the palazzo and how easy this pant style is for anyone to wear.
Date Night
Yes, that’s STILL snow in the background but I am ignoring it and thinking SPRING. When Walt takes me out, I always dress up. The Weekend Palazzo pants ($70) from Monroe and Main worn with their off the shoulder Lace Peasant top ($50, $13 Sale) gives just the right mix of elegance and sexy. Strappy sandals (new from Salvation Army $4) and a vintage necklace from my mother are the final touches!
Off to the Theater
Just to show you can always step up the elegance factor, I paired my palazzos with this gorgeous blush pink Monroe and Main Gala Tux Jacket ($99, also worn here), this figure flattering Monroe and Main Scuba Peplum top ($60), and a just the right size Monroe and Main Metal Mesh Bag ($40). Just in case I need to head out dancing afterward, my shoes are Seychelles in black and pink ( $100).
Shopping around town
Because I work at home all day, when I go shopping I like to dress fun and bright. My Monroe and Main palazzos look cute with this bright aqua one-size-fits-all Monroe and Main Reversible tank ($20). This tank comes in 4 other colors (black, cobalt, coral and white) and I MUST HAVE THEM ALL! For shoes, I have on my ribboned Bally Oxfords (similar) and my favorite vintage cashmere cardigan (also worn here).
Lunch at the Pool
That SNOW in background is distracting but this is a wonderful outfit for hanging out by the pool in the summer. Once again, I paired the palazzo pants with my bright aqua one-size-fits-all Monroe and Main Reversible tank but this time I also wore this Monroe and Main Crochet Shrug ($40). While I have tons of shrugs, this is my favorite because it’s longer. For women over 45 with a larger bust, a shrug can really be forgiving. Make sure to check out how my blogging partner Katy styled the palazzo pant as well over on Modly Chic.

I would wear these they are so adorable and look so comfy. I love the pattern and flowiness 🙂
I love the different ways you paired these pants!
These are really cute. I will have to try a pair. I like the way you have them matched up. Thanks!
I wish I could wear them. My thighs are too heavy. Look good on long slim legs
these are really nice they look so comfortable to wear they are really fashionable
I love your pants–what cute outfits you put together!
Very, very interesting pants. I love them! They are so versatile.
The Pallazo pants are certainly interesting looking with all the different patterns. They have that certain classy look about them that screams Milan walkway ~ pairing them with plain tops, sweaters, & shirts with just a few gold chains & earrings would definately show off that high fashion look. Awesome!
I <3 Palazzo pants!
I like that the stripes go down the stomach and legs to the ankle. Very slimming. I would wear them in the spring and probably year round. LOL
I like how versatile these pants are. I know they’re comfortable.
I love the styles.
Those pants look great on you! :]
I love these Palazzo pants. The look so comfortable and the style could be dressed up or dressed casual. I would wear these in the spring 🙂
I absolutely adore your outfits, really looks beautiful & can be worn anywhere! I really like the pants, definitely want these!
I think that this style would look great on all kinds of people, of many different body types. However, I don’t think they’d be right for me. I’m pretty short and petite, and feel like I’d keep fussing with them. Also, I prefer to wear dresses whenever I can!
These pants look super comfy, it is nice to be able to get dressed up but yes still feel so comfy. These are awesome looking, you look very nice.
The pants look light and comfy.
you look so pretty
I love my palazzo pants. I have several pairs because they are so comfortable.
