A wide leg, gracefully flowing fabric, and unparalleled freedom of movement: the Palazzo trousers first gained popularity in the 60s and 70s but have been experiencing a true trend revival for some time now. Whether on the runway, at a wedding, in a business meeting, or on vacation—Palazzo trousers, also known as Marlene trousers, embody modern women with class and a sense of contemporary style. This beloved garment is not only elegant and office-appropriate but also extremely comfortable: the wide cut of the culotte gives you the feeling of wearing an airy skirt while actually being enveloped in snug fabric. With a well-fitted pair of Palazzo trousers, you effortlessly merge a confident and powerful presence with refined femininity. Explore stylish models of these wide-legged trousers at MADELEINE's online shop, ranging from classically elegant to boldly extravagant, and find your new must-have!
Wide leg trousers aren't limited to taller women. Even petite ladies can benefit from this trend. Opt for a culotte with a high waist to visually elongate your legs. Combine monochrome tones with delicate high heels or sandals—even flat, open shoes complement these wide trousers beautifully. Ensure that the trousers almost touch the floor.
This popular women's trouser style also brilliantly conceals minor problem areas, expertly camouflaging a few extra pounds. The key here is to pair them with a slim top, such as a camisole or as a layered look with a casual vest. A form-fitting blouse worn under the Palazzo or Marlene trousers, along with a fitted blazer, completes the wardrobe.
Pair your trousers with cream-colored blouses or tops for balanced proportions. Lace and ruffles on the top counterbalance the casualness of the very straight and wide-cut trousers, adding an extra touch of charm. Dare to refresh not only your wardrobe but also your confidence!
Do you crave a distinctive silhouette and admire the confident-nostalgic Marlene style? Create a classic look with black culottes featuring a high waist. In lighter colors such as white, beige, or soft gray, you'll glide gracefully in your wide-legged trousers, whether strolling through the city or dancing in a ballroom. Silk Palazzo-style trousers exude unique casual elegance, ensuring that despite the confident wear of trousers, opulence and glamour take the spotlight.
Accentuate your wardrobe with vibrant colors and creative prints, like artistically designed paisley patterns or stylish stripes, transforming your attire into a true spectacle. Even a casual jersey Marlene trouser in a classic check pattern or a bold red wide-leg trouser with stylish pleats supports a confident appearance without losing an air of refined nobility.
In an elegant wide-leg trouser, you'll find the perfect companion for city outings, leisure, and work. The more formal the occasion, the more subtly you can coordinate the trousers with the rest of your outfit. For more exciting events, opt for a more daring combination. Pairing it with a color-coordinated blazer achieves the style of a confident trousersuit, putting you and your fashionable sensibility in the spotlight.
A cool white linen Marlene trouser is particularly suitable if you spend your leisure time in the sun, leaving a confident impression even in high temperatures. The wide, sweeping leg line offers an airy and light feeling. Combining it with an oversized pair of sunglasses and a luxurious wide-brimmed hat evokes the style of past fashion icons.
Fashion-conscious women also prefer the wide trousers made of shimmering fabrics as an alternative to evening dresses. Complete the gala look with a select clutch or a glossy clutch—now you're ready for the next event or opera visit. Dive into the fabulous world of Palazzo trousers at MADELEINE and find the perfect model in your size. In the online shop, you'll find these wide-legged Marlene trousers available in sizes 8 to 22.
