High Waisted Wide Leg Pant Styles & Colors
What we love about high-waisted wide-leg pants is the variety of styles and colors. We have seen them emerge in almost every genre imaginable. From the long flowy high waisted pants to work trousers, from oversized ones that cover the shoe to cropped at the midcalf, from materials like denim, satin, prints, and even faux leather, you cannot go wrong with this vogue statement!
The fashion for wide-leg pants has been around since the 1920s when it was first spotted on fashionable socialites such as Coco Chanel. However, the style was birthed out of rebellion against dining establishments that did not permit women who wore pants. The circumvention to the rule allowed oversized trousers that looked as if a lady was wearing a dress especially as you caught their gait. By the 60s, these “palazzo pants” or “palazzo trousers” made their way into mainstream culture and today you can find many models wearing them everywhere from runways & red carpet events to casual everyday walks down Main St.
Whether you’re wearing them for work, running errands, a night on the town, or even on the beach, they can offer a distinctive look for each occasion. Let’s marvel at a few styles we’ve fallen in love with…
Most Palazzo pants you’ll Google will have boring flat colors. Have you ever feasted your eyes on such a bold print? Oh my gosh, it looks like a garment that would steal a catwalk. Flowing like a cape in the wind, these wide-leg pants are sure to turn heads, and your number one question will be… “Where did you get those pants?” Will you keep it a secret or point them here?!?
Every closet must have standard black wide-leg pants and this article of clothing checks that box. They’re long, flow well, and cover the shoe just enough to expose a cute heel or sandal. Black is a neutral color, thus they can be paired with virtually any color or texture. Definitely something for work and versatile enough for play. Pair it with a blazer or chic long-sleeve shirt for a more corporate appeal or jazz it with a fun tank top.
