I remember a couple times in the last decade when palazzo (read: really freaking wide, long) pants made appearances among the rich & shiny. Once against, they’ve emerged on the unfairly-long legs of Anne Hathaway.
At first, i was confused. Then, I was hurt. Then, I was intrigued… And now I just don’t know what to think!
Actually, at first, I thought it was a maxi skirt. When I thought it was a maxi skirt, I really liked the look. When I realized that they were palazzo pants… I felt like I wasn’t supposed to like them, but I didn’t really know why.
I think that there are some rules that go along with this type of pant. Obviously (obviously?), you would want to have a more fitted top over these billowing bad-boys. I think it also couldn’t be… boring. You know? Like, I don’t think you could just throw on an Alternative Apparel v-neck and call it a day. I think that whatever you pair it with would have to be interesting enough to balance out the fact that you’re wearing curtains as pants.
Oh, and platforms. Duh.

I don't think I could pull this off. With my short stubby let's-be-nice-and-call-them-legs i'd look redonkulous.
Reminds me of that Friends episode where Rachel comes up with "apartment pants."
I love them! I've been wearing pants like this for the past year now, strictly for comfort-but-still-look-put-together reasons. If they are in trend now, I'll be able to find them in stores with more ease!
I wouldn't, but that's just because I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to pull them off.

I've always loved palazzo pants... I recently saw some in a consignment store in Boston and my friend thought I was insane for loving them. I'm a huge fan of statement pieces and I'm also a huge fan of mixing patterns, so I just absolutely adore Anne Hathaway's outfit..
But, yeah... I don't think there's anything wrong with rockin' these bad boys.
