When it comes to work-wear pants, bigger is suddenly way better. My love for the wide leg look only continues to grow, as does how wide I think they should be! These days I’m embracing ultra-wide palazzo pants. So for the second installment of Three Ways to Wear It, here are few different directions to take the widest of wide-let options.
I like the idea of pairing deeply hued pants with a simple tee and knock-out accessories. Each piece, from the alexander wang sunnies to the colorful BCBG clutch, are intended to turn heads.

I love palazzo pants! I just don’t have any yet
Closest thing I’ve got to it right now is a pair of “regular” wide-legged jeans. They’re kind of beat up, so I usually just pair them with a fitted tee of some sort, a necklace or scarf, and some sandals and a crossbody bag. But all those looks up there are cute, too.

I wore them during the mid 90′s. they would sweep the floor because I couldn’t find shoes high enough but that was the style. if I tailored the hem a little higher, then it would look like funny high water pants. the wide legged pants that I had were made of polyester
and I had a few pairs made of satin fabric. it was more of the “chola” baggy style than glam though. I wore them to school.

I like palazzo pants but they aren’t flattering on everyone. I like the pleated pants, but not the top it is featured with. My favorite look is probably the last one.

Wouldn’t you trip in those?
