It’s all about versatility. Those clever buys that, with a change of accessories, can see you stylishly from day to night, from off-duty weekend to a special invite. This time it’s palazzo pants. Here are three ways to wear them.
DAYTIME COMFORT
In an on-trend palm print and a classic colour combo of navy and blush, these wide leg palazzo pants look super relaxed with white pumps, a long-sleeve navy tee and a denim jacket . Wear for a walk in the park or a weekend summer trip.
STYLE TIP: All-over prints detract the eye so if your tummy or legs are a bit wobbly, these printed trousers will give the illusion of a smooth underneath.
CASUAL EVENING
A casual dinner date calls for understated glamour that looks like you’ve not tried TOO hard! Team our printed trousers with an open-knit gold sweater , block heels and a simple string of beads.
STYLE TIP: Always remember to half-tuck your top into the front of your waistband – it shows a hint of waist so you don’t look too square.
GET DRESSY
How to style palazzo pants for a big night out? Up the glamour stakes by teaming them with a silky white blouse, a shiny clutch and heels. As we age, our skin naturally loses its youthful bloom, so a flash of light-reflecting white or cream on your upper half illuminates the face.
STYLE TIP: A wise waistband on a flat front trouser (especially in a more structured fabric) flattens and smooths out your tummy area.
