ALL IN THE DETAILS: Printed Palazzo

The summer season has been turning up the heat. That means it’s time to step into outfits made with lightweight materials. Dresses, rompers and shorts are a must for summer. I would never dream of wearing long pants in this heat. Palazzo pants are the new trend for summer. They are wide leg pants that give a nod to the ’70s; they are totally flowy and free, a perfect staple for the summer season.

This Fashionista shows just how easy it is to rock pants in the summer heat. Her pants are a bright blue and white with an Aztec print. They paired with a simple white tank, letting the pants steal the spotlight. For some drama up top, she adds a statement necklace with pearls and rhinestones. The different shapes in the necklace imitate the various shapes in the pants. It completes the look by tying the top and the bottom perfectly together.

To add to an already fabulous look, the Fashionista wears a small gold watch with a blue face. She stacks the watch with a complementary bracelet to add a feminine touch to her arm candy. Her Vera Bradley white leather clutch is the perfect bag to add to this look. It is simple and sophisticated. To finish off her look, she dresses up her pants with nude strappy heels. This outfit is perfect for a summer barbecue, a date night or even a night out with the girls. The wide leg pants are freeing enough to keep you cool in the summer but give you a chic and sophisticated look at the same time.

How To: Want this ’70s-inspired look? Pick palazzo pants in your favorite color or print and throw on a simple tank or T-shirt. Wear sandals for a more casual look, or wear heels for a more dressed up look. Add simple accessories, and personalize the look to fit your personality.
