I love seeing these lovely swingy wide pants on the tall women in the photos! They look so fashionable as well as comfortable. Back in the day, I liked to wear palazzo pants with a mini-dress over it that looked like a tunic. I was skinny then. Because I am so short (5 ft.), wide pants aren’t flattering for me. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying them on others. The split skirt from Shein (!) and the Jumeirah pants from Soft Surroundings definitely caught my eye!
I wonder if the split in some styles including wrap pants, as well as vertical stripes, might help you be able to wear minimally wide pants such as lounge pants?
I love all of these! I saw some really cute wide-leg pants for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I am going to go back a take a closer look!
They look so comfortable, don’t they? 😉
