Palazzo pants. Yay or nay?

[Pinkjenny]

I covet a pair of palazzo pants, but am slightly concerned that they may go horribly wrong and end up looking like pjamas.

Also, I'm not a fan of buying the 'in' thing.

Any views?

What is the sizing like on those asos ones? Im an8/10, what size should i go for?

go small. They are very loose fitting around the hips. I'd only go for the larger size if you are more apple shaped.

Ok great am gonna go for the size 8 thrn. They are lovely

Boo hoo no mink or mocha in a size 8.
So do i go for tne black or white? (although with 3 dcs maybe white is not a good option)

Oh god, thank goodness for this thread - I fell in love with a stunning pair of blue palazzos yesterday and thought I was going mad :)

Mainly because I was on my own and you know when you are on your own and you are more likely to buy crazy things because nobody is there to tell you otherwise?

Yes, I have learned the hard way many a time before.

I like them but don't suit I am not skinny enough

I have the black and will be ordering the white very soon...ok now just realised it's after 12!

Noddy - I'm NOT skinny but these ones are very , ahem, kind! I have tried some others where the pleating starts lower down (i.e. at top of thigh height) and they made my stomach look enormous.

noddy - I'm not skinny at all, you might be surprised, you just have to be selective in your styling of them, I think.

I like the look of them but I think I would just look ridiculous in them being only 5ft 3

Oooh they do them in maternity in DP. Hmmm.

Would they look ridiculous with a bump if the thing that are good at doing is emphasising a small waist ?

What are you talking about? Maternity?

Oh yeah AM PREGNANT.

You are in serious trouble for not telling me.

Apols. You can beat me later, am too sick atm. Bleurgh.

So palazzos with a bump, yay or nay?

I think the asos ones would be nice with a bump. The Dotty P ones are quite tailored and might not be terribly comfy. Worth a try though.

Hmmm will wait for a few weeks. The bump has forced me out of my usual jeans but am not in giant panels yet < shudder >

Asos have some fab mat stuff atm.

There is a risk they might make you look bigger but knowing how damned impossible it is to be comfortable in trousers during pregnancy I'd go for them anyway. I think they'd be really nice and easy to wear - I had a black jersey knee length skirt which I wore a lot when I was pregnant and I suspect these would feel similarly nice!

If I was between sizes for the DP ones that have been linked, which ones should I go for with the ASOS ones. I'm a 12-14, pearshaped? Thank you wise ladies

I'd go down socka. I'm between sizes for the DP linen ones (which i thought were awful anyway!) and went for the smaller in asos.

Thanks! And thank you to whoever posted the 20% code. I look forward to swishing around tomorrow

Gawd, linen ones would look like you'd wrapped your bottom half in the bedsheet.

Have ordered the asos ones in black. Now I really must stop.

Does anyone know if they suit shorter folk? - ie 5ft 3 and under

I am concerned that they will shorten legs and dumpify people
beware
