reggieloves#full on fashion!

The palazzo pant when worn right can ooze ease and sophistication. .worn wrongly it can flatter in all the wrong places and make you look like you're on your way to a fancy dress party!
I do however love this voluminous simple silhouette. .it is also great for women of all ages and sizes. Movie sirens of tge 40s spoke to women with this new found confidence and importance in the work place as men were away at war..with these bold yet flowing styles that epitomised sassy, confudent and fashionable women of the moment...
There are many options to choose from this season from Georgous plain crepes to nautixal stripes and nonchalant boho peinted silk types there's bound to be a version for you!
If you're tall or super petite opt for a high waisted pair teamed with flats for the day switching to heels and a bun or high pony for the evening..if you're shorter or fuller of figure opt for a low slung pair keeping the length to the floor with a deep waist band or draw jogger detail..keep your coordinate plain and simple and stick to one piece of jewellery ie: necklace or earings to avoid looking like sinbad...although for the brave a patterned turban or long head scarf can look sublime!!
