A typical summer in the sunshine state consists of warm, sunny weather throughout the day and the frequent 8:00 p.m. thunderstorms. This subtropical climate, with warm and humid summers is the picture-perfect setting for wearing comfortable, loose and lightweight garments without relinquishing your sense of style. We all think of shorts, maxi skirts and dresses when it comes to the ideal summer look, but printed palazzo pants have become a fashion must to incorporate into anyone’s summer wardrobe.
For this look, we Fashionistas/os are traveling back to the late ’60s and early ’70s when palazzo pants first became a popular trend. This particular style of pants was reminiscent of the wide-legged cuffed trousers worn by women keen on the avant-garde fashions of the ’30s and ’40s. These flowy, wide-leg pants started making a comeback as a reemerging trend in today’s fashion world, palazzo pants resurfaced on the runway of the spring/summer 2015 (SS15) collections of Tommy Hilfiger, House of Holland, Balmain and Tom Ford. Lately, I have seen variations of these liberating wide-legged palazzo pants in almost every fashion retail company. These trendy pants guarantee a flared style and baggy fit, and are a must for the summer heat.
This Fashionista effortlessly showcases a combination of comfort and style with her printed palazzo pants paired with a blue camisole and topped off the ’70s-chic look with an ivory crochet vest and simple necklace. This palazzo and crochet bohemian look can also be achieved using an off-the-shoulder crochet top of your choice. In an effort to ensure a certain degree of flare and to add a tad more elevation to her petite figure, the look was finished off with a simple pair of wedges. This Fashionista is most definitely tailoring her way into her teaching career in these printed palazzo pants.
These pants/trousers are a popular trend this season because they offer comfort and lax fabric without compromising your unique style. Palazzo pants are offered in numerous light and vivid fabrics, from black and white, artsy, tribal and even your summer floral.
