Wide leg pants

Do you prefer skirts than skinny jeans or when it is humid? Then you should definitely try these super comfy and modern wide leg pants. Do you know that wide leg pants have been in fashion since 1920’s ?  I heard that these wide leg pants have evolved for horse riding so that woman can ride the horse like men than riding side saddle. That make sense right?

Wide leg pants are wide through out the leg unlike some pants which flare from knees or at ankles.  There are many variations of wide leg pants like Palazzo, culottes , Gauchos, wide leg trousers etc.  Palazzo is a loose long pant that runs until feet. Culottes or Gauchos usually are knee or calf length. I really don’t know much difference between Gauchos and Culottes except that Culottes have full cut and just hang like skirts  where as Gauchos have high waist cut.  In this blog I am showing few looks that goes well with Palazzo’s and a cropped wide pant trouser .

Good thing about palazzo is that they are apt for all body types. If you are curvy you can highlight the curves with high waist . Choose a stripped pant with heels to make you look tall. You can actually hide the weight behind that loose garment. General thumb rule while styling palazzo or culottes is make sure top is well fitted for a flattering look. Crop tops is one good option. You can also make the look formal or casual. Pair Palazzos with kurti’s for an ethnic look.

Below are the looks which I created with black pleated palazzo and a cropped bow tie wide leg pant for causal as well as formal look. Take a look and comment below what you think about these styles.
