Palazzo pants: yay or nay? Pip

[hz80408]

I know I haven't been on much so I'm not sure if there are any recent posts...but last year Mav had the board hooked on palazzos; what are the thoughts?

Do tight ankles look better with flats or wedges? Or just something scrappy in general?

What about shoe style for wide legs?

Last, how are these? I want a pair but generally wear flat sandals and don't want to spend a ton bc I'd wear once or twice a month

I think these are more track pants than palazzo pants (because they are gathered at ankle vs. palazzo being wide all the way down)?
Anyway, I like this style of pant- wore mine the other day & got good reviews. I think they look best with pointy toe pumps. Wearing them with flats remind me of Aladin...
That being said, I'm not completely crazy about this paisley pattern on these.
eta: I think that carylee07 and bimbi284 have sequin track pants that they've rocked here before too.

I think I'm in the minority but I just don't like them. They look like pjs.

I think they only look good in a solid color or subdued pattern. The pattern on those are too much for the style of pant, IMO.

I like them in general, but I'm not loving those particular ones. I think they look good with pointy toe pumps, strappy sandals, or flats. But you just have to make sure the pattern and fit is JUST right to avoid them looking sloppy or like pjs.

I love these with strappy sandals for a night out, but not sure how they would look casually. I'm with mrsguz - a solid color for more casual wear is the way to go. I have a solid black pair that I wear all. the. time with flats and sandals and I love them.

NMS, sorry!

Ha! I totally thought of jasmine when I had them on!

Lol, I think the solid colors are more casual and remind me of pjs vs prints

Not feeling those. Maybe in black.

This is exactly what I was going to say. If you like them and want to buy them, I'd do a wedge or heel of some sort.

I am not a fan.

Exactly my first thought.

I just bought a few pairs of the same cut from AE and JCrew for loungewear/errands days in the warmer months. Super comfortable.
I think they'd look cute casual with flat espadrilles, flats and even low stacked heel sandals.

I have those Joe Fresh ones that Mavjen convinced a bunch of us to buy, and the sequin pair. Just wore the Joe fresh ones the other day with menorquina wedges, but I think they look better with my prabal garung for Tarjay sandals.





I think the print is a little too busy on the one's you tried on hz80408. I will say that I've tried on lots of different "fancy" track pants, and they mostly look like shit on me, lol, so finding a good pair that doesn't is tough!
