Wide leg pants have officially taken over. While I love more structured styles for an incredibly chic work look and flare jeans for casual-cool nights out and weekends, in the category of slightly impractical but I want it anyway fashion, I’m currently obsessing over palazzo pants. The breezy pajama-like style is reminiscent of the palazzo pants I wore back in the day, and look chicest when you ignore the classic rules of proportions and pair them with an oversized top. I love them with a structured tunic for work or a summer soiree a la Olivia Palermo or a tucked in men’s oxford or with a vintage band tee knotted in the back as a cool contrast to a feminine print. Here are some outfit ideas if you need help styling your palazzo pants this summer.
