How to Style Palazzo Pants Your Own Special Way

Palazzo pants are 70’s inspired and have a bohemian, exotic aura to them.  If you prefer, you can lose that impression by pairing them with something more to your liking.  For instance, if your style is more sporty, modern, businesslike or preppy then you can mix palazzo pants with those elements to make them your own.  Age doesn’t matter,  since you can style palazzo pants in your own special way.

You can dress them up for evening, dress them down for around the house, add sandals in the summer or boots in the winter.  Palazzos are loose and airy for summer.  They can even be comfy lounge pants if you like!  A pair of chiffon palazzo pants are great to have on hand for any evening event.  Effortlessly chic, they can move like a long skirt.
