Jersey Palazzo Pants (long ones)

Here is another shot:

i second the ones from urban outfitters. i bought a pair at full price, and now that they're on sale for $19.99 i bought four more pair, literally

they look nothing like the stripper-y ones posted above. the fit is more of a true palazzo, and since they're not hemmed on the bottom they fall beautifully. fabric has a nice hand, doesn't pill. i have been wearing my black pair with a small, fitted sweater-blazer and a nice long-sleeve cotton tee underneath for work, and they actually do dress up that way very nicely. if you do it right, it's a basic black pant... not sweatpants-y

and if you're 5'3 like me, the length on the urban outfitters pair is spot-on... always a plus!

chantal and crepe, how is the fit on these UO pants? i am a size 4/6-should i get a small or medium? thanks for recommending them

 

[crepebacksatin]

i'm a 6 and the medium fits me perfectly. i just measured one of my new pair (just came today, yay! ps- there's a discount if you use visa and your order is over $100) and the waist, unstretched, is about 28". hope that helps!!

also, the olive looks much lighter on the site... it's really a true deep lovely olive. and the grey isn't really heathered (it's a nice, dark charcoal).

i think i have a problem

hmmm

well im a 6 ... i bought a pair of chocolate palazzo pants in a medium. Also these pants are allover the place in stores, i bought a pair from jc penny yes jc penny which has , string of coins done in chanel like way its cool and i bought with a white puff sleeve jacket and a choker it looks awesome. yes this is jc penny ... i cant believe i said that. Im going through this 1940-50s mood so I feeling like dressing like girls like then and its funny all the recent fall trends are moving that way esp luella , dvf, herrara and im sure others will jump soon.

Well I know they're newly available but I can almost guarantee this will be short-lived.

These pants were super popular in the early 90s (worn with clunky flats) - given the way fashion trends go, it's too soon for them to return. Sorry y'all.

 

[arlekindearrabal]

they are cute... id love to have a pair of pants like that, all the baggy pants for men are so badly cut

they seem fine with flat sandals..

personally i prefer crepe or satin pyjama trousers, in a 30's-40's mood..
i dont enjoy wearing light jersey bottoms..

 

[Alliecat]

I'm actually wearing a pair at the moment (but high waisted) but then I'm pregnant and they are the MOST comfortable thing I own. But yip - no lycra, no cling, mine are more of a jersey crepe and not bell bottomed... cant handle a bell bottom.

I love this look - I wear mine like Kim Stewart (green).. with flats/flip flops and a tee.
Super cute!

I like them and they usually look really flattering. I like them with t-shirts, the smaller girlish ones.

I love Palazzo pants, they're always made of a super cheap jersey material. Silk Palazzo pants, that's another story...

I bought these silk Escada ones. I plan on wearing them more dressy than my cheap material ones.

I totally think you have to have the right body shape to wear these. they even look funny on the model in the urbanoutfitters pic above.

[CelineChic]

interesting, thanks for bringing this up veronicaUSA.

They're pretty foul in my opinion, not something I'd wear. I don't think they're at all flattering, they're not even the type of thing I can go "I wouldnt wear them but they look good on..." They do however look so comfy for wearing in the house. I've also seen people wear these as a type of 'sarong trouser' to the beach over their bikini's in Europe.

 

[veronicaUSA]

i think foul is a very strong word

if you dont like it dont wear it! , I think its very flattering , it looks good ,feels good , their flying off the shelves in north america , and its awesome in lounge bars since its roomy and comfy.
