Trousers & Palazzo Pants

Almost every printed trouser on the market is a solid with a print somewhere on it. These are the reverse — exclusive prints drawn in-house by Sandhya Garg, Project Runway Season 13, cut into wide-leg palazzo trousers, velvet pants and joggers. They're the pieces to reach for when you want the ease of trousers without looking like everyone else in the room.

The Blue Ombre Palazzo Trousers at $198 and Deco Red Palazzo at $168 are the statement pieces — full through the leg, fluid, and better with heels than they look on the hanger. The Audrey Printed Velvet Pants are reduced to $138. The Jal and Jaipur Joggers at $158 are the travel and everyday option, and the Gloria Printed Pants start at $78. Sizes XS through XXL.

How to style palazzo trousers so they don't overwhelm you. The leg is wide and full, so everything above the waist needs to be fitted or tucked in — a loose top over a wide trouser reads as one shapeless column. A fitted tee, a tucked blouse, or a cropped top all work. Add height with a heel or a platform, since the hem sits at the floor and a flat shortens the whole line. And because the trouser is doing the talking, keep jewellery simple.

Why the wide leg is flattering. A palazzo falls straight from the widest point of the hip rather than following the leg, so it skims instead of clinging and creates one long vertical line. That's the same geometry that makes an A-line dress work, applied to a trouser.

For travel. A printed palazzo takes up less case space than a dress, survives a flight without creasing badly, and works for dinner with a change of top. The joggers do the same job for the flight itself. Several customers wear these as sets — pair the Jaipur Joggers or palazzo trousers with a matching printed top from summer sets or tops and jackets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you style palazzo pants?
Keep the top fitted or tucked in. Because the leg is full and wide, a loose top creates one unbroken column with no shape — a fitted tee, tucked blouse or cropped top gives the outfit a waist. Add a heel or platform, since the hem falls to the floor and flats shorten the line. Keep accessories minimal so the print leads.

Are palazzo pants flattering?
Yes, for most shapes. The wide leg falls straight from the widest point of the hip rather than following the leg, so it skims rather than clings and creates a long vertical line. It's the same principle that makes an A-line dress work. The main thing to get right is length — palazzos should nearly touch the floor with your shoes on.

Can you wear palazzo pants to a wedding?
Yes, at most weddings short of black tie. A printed palazzo with a fitted top and heels reads as considered and deliberate, and it's a genuinely good option for guests who'd rather not wear a dress. Choose a rich fabric and avoid anything too casual through the top. Check the dress code, and avoid white as with any wedding.

What is the difference between palazzo pants and wide leg trousers?
Palazzo pants flare dramatically from the waist or hip and are usually very full and fluid — closer to a skirt in movement. Wide leg trousers are cut straight and looser than a standard trouser but keep a defined leg shape. Palazzos suit soft, drapey fabrics; wide legs work better in structured ones.

What size should I order?
Check the size chart, and note that several styles run generous through the waist — one customer at 5'4" and 130lb found a small fitted well, while another sized up to a large and found a medium would have worked. If you're between sizes or need a specific inseam, made-to-measure is available on any style for $50–$100 above retail.
