How to Wear Palazzo Pants

I'm a sucker for comfort and for transitional pieces. Hence why I love palazzo pants. They are so comfortable, the wide leg gives your legs some breathing room and the fact that most of these pants are made in softer and lighter materials help. Palazzo pants are also a lot of fun and bring in a cool element into a look. I love palazzo pants that look more like maxi skirts-- a little trick on the eye. These pants are perfect to transit into Spring with some simple and key pieces that you probably have hanging in your closet.

How to Wear Palazzo Pants by fashionistany featuring wedge heels

Since palazzo pants have a wide leg (some wider then most) you want to think about keeping your top fitted. The fitter the top the less bulky and more proportionate you'll look. To make a easy transfer from cold winter days to more cooler warmer days pair your pants up with a light fitted knit sweater, like the Zara jersey with back buttons. These type of tops help keep you warm on those cool Spring days (or those warm winter days that we are having here in NYC). Keeping proportionate also means keeping the length of your legs.Wide legs pants sometimes tends to shorten legs, so pair the whole look up with some high heels for height. The best is when the the heels just peek just enough from under the pants, it helps make it look like you have long legs. To even get a better effect of long legs pick a high waist pants-- this will shorten the torso but with a fitted top it will keep you looking lean. To top off the look pair it all up with a daytime satchel bag.

This look is appropriate for work and for a brunch date. But since I spend most of my days I wore the look to the office on one of our warm winter days.
