The palazzo pants shown here are the same style that made it into my summer capsule wardrobe for soft bellies, but in that post I showed the blue pair. I loved them so much that I picked them up in brown too, and this side by side shows exactly why. The jeans on the left are high waisted and highlight the dome of my belly. I would never wear a fitted t-shirt tucked into them. For the palazzo pants on the right, the waistband sits above my belly button at a narrow part of my waist, and the drape of the fabric smooths my midsection.  If all you want to do in the summer is throw on a tee, add some bottoms, and head out the door, these are the kind of pants worth having in your closet for an easy, comfortable outfit that still feels put together. Fit notes: I sized up to a large. I originally ordered a medium, but it felt too snug through the rear. They’re a linen cotton blend from Amazon. I wash them on the cold delicate cycle and lay flat to dry. They require minimal ironing, and don’t have back pockets that scrunch, and the fabric is soft, not scratchy.  Would you wear the jeans or the palazzo pants? 📏For reference, I’m midsized, 5’6”, slightly short-waisted, 36-B bust, and wear a small or medium top with size 10 jeans.
