Palazzo trousers – historical background

Palazzo trousers (English palazzo pants, palazzo trousers, Italian pantaloni palazzo, French le pantalon palazzo) is women’s trousers, loose, usually with a high waist. In modern world terminology, they are often classified simply as wide leg pants.

There is a version that the pants got their name “palazzo” thanks to Coco Chanel. While vacationing in Venice in 1925, Chanel drew attention to the comfortable loose trousers of gondoliers, borrowed them for women’s wardrobe and began to popularize models of comfortable wide trousers for women, naming them in memory of the trip – the palazzo.

According to other sources, the first women’s models of pants s with straight wide trouser-pipes appeared from another designer – Emilio Pucci. The novelty of fashion art was noticed by many stars of those times, such as Katharine Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich, who often wore them for red carpet appearances. So palazzo pants have conquered the world of fashion around the world.
