Behold: All the Billowy Palazzo Pants That’ll Take Your Breath Away
Class is in session, folks. "Palazzo" in Italian is defined as a grand building or palace. It's safe to draw to the conclusion that "palazzo pants" (wide-leg pants with dramatic silhouettes that I'm all about) are named after the style of palazzo architecture (narrow at the top, broad at the bottom). These pants are the perfect staple to add some extra oomph to any outfit—trust me. When I have a très chic crop top on and have no idea what to wear for bottoms, I won't reach for a regular-degular pair of trousers, no. Why, if I can pop out in a bright pair of palazzo pants from my closet? Of course, they come in various styles (wanna go shmancy or chill?) and prints and hues but 'tis just my preference to go bold.
What also makes 'em "palazzo" is the fact that these easy-to-style trousers are oftentimes made of lightweight material (perf for dressing in warmer temps) and flare from the waistline to hemline. The most comfiest pants on earth (yes, quote me on that) are so flowy they look like a maxi skirt but alas, they're really pants! From last season's Prabal Gurung to The Row shows, you'll find that designers have tapped into the airy goodness that a great palazzo pant brings. And in this list, you'll find 23 palazzo pants that are perf for making a statement.
our top picks for the best palazzo pants of 2023:
Our tip to you? Embrace color. And if you're a minimalist, tap into muted tones with patterns. Dress up your fave pair with a tube or halter top, leather blazer, or bomber jacket. One more thing: Don't think palazzo pants can only be worn in warm weather. You can wear a thick pair and layer up! Regardless of the style or season, you'll find the ideal pair that'll fit your personality and closet right here.
