‘2012 palazzo pants’

Well, palazzo pants were a big hit the first time round in the 1970s and so hark back to that era with wedges or chunky-heeled sandals. As for your top half, you MUST highlight your waist when wearing palazzo pants so we think one of the best ways is with a fitted vest top or feminine camisole to create the ultimate summer look.Now, yet again, with the 70′s revival in full flow, palazzo‘s are back and I feel my unrequited love returning.

I can remember poring over archive photographs of 1930′s Hollywood screen sirens, lounging languidly in halter-necked ‘beach pyjamas’, probably accessorised with Ferragamo platforms and finely-defined brows, not to mention the couturier Irene Galitzine’s evening trousers, inspired by Garbo, launched in 1960, and instantly named ‘the palazzo pyjama’ by Diana Vreeland, then fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar.
