I’m sure all of you Collegiettes have noticed girls walking around campus wearing brightly colored and patterned pants. They are extremely hard to miss. One of the newest trends that has everyone asking, “Where did you get those?” are called palazzo and harem pants. These pants give you the best of both worlds – fashionable and comfortable. They can be either dressed up with fun accessories, a nice blouse and wedges, or dressed down with a simple tank top and sandals. This makes these pants appropriate for many different occasions, such as going out for a nice dinner or going to class.
So what’s the difference between the palazzo pant and the harem pant? Palazzo pants have a spandex top and are made from a silk-like material, which keeps you feeling both cool and comfy throughout the day. They also have a very wide and open bottom, which makes them look similar to a maxi skirt.
Harem pants are typically made from a cotton material. They have elastic at both the hip and ankles, but are baggy throughout the rest of the pant. Both pant styles can be found in a variety of colors and patterns. While palazzo pants are usually only found at small boutiques, they can be bought on the Internet at various stores. Harem pants can be found at stores like Forever 21, H&M, and Urban Outfitters. Depending on where palazzo pants and harem pants are bought, they range in price from $20 to $40.
