Beige Palazzo Pants Are the Jeans Alternative You Need This Spring

Now that spring is officially here, it’s clear palazzo pants are quickly becoming a closet staple. And in a wear-with-anything beige, the loose-fitting pants becomes the perfect alternative to jeans.

After all, we’re in the middle of a wide-leg renaissance when it comes to pants. As the cuts get wider and looser, we’ve become more accustomed to having that freedom of movement. And in warmer weather, like spring and summer, that becomes an essential trait. So, yeah, we get the appeal of swapping stiff denim fabric for the lighter, breezier feel of a palazzo pant.

We’ll never fully turn away from our favorite jeans, of course, but it is enticing to see all the sartorial possibilities that beige palazzo pants have to offer. They instantly elevate a look, and the neutral color serves as a solid foundation for any top your heart desires. Plus, it’s no secret that it can be challenging to look—and feel—elegant in hot weather; that’s why we’re drawn to pieces that are as sophisticated as they are cooling. A beige palazzo pant more than delivers on that front.

Much like jeans, beige palazzo pants are a blank canvas. In addition to the neutral tones, their eye-catching structure allows you to adopt different aesthetics with ease. We predict it’ll become the backbone of your spring-summer wardrobe. So, we’re sharing a few suggestions for how to style palazzo pants this year.

The boho-chic trend is one of the biggest style trends this spring and summer. For a more elevated take on the aesthetic, choose a blouse that’s also in a neutral color and anchor it with stacks of gold rings and necklaces. It will have the same free-spirited essence, just with a more sophisticated attitude. If you do want a little pop of color, though, baby blues are a nice companion to beige pants. The softness of both tones are good match.

For a more relaxed look, there’s no better way to combine your palazzo pants than with a T-shirt. A simple, fitted top in white or black is still dressy enough that it can be worn to the office. On the weekends, however, feel free have a little more fun with the look and put on your favorite band T-shirt or graphic tee. The eclectic pairing will give your outfit that cool street-style feel, especially if you pay special attention to your accessories. While sneakers are always a good choice, you could also explore more eye-catching pieces like kitten heels, ballerina flats, or thong sandals.

If you’re a corporate girlie, then you’ll know that the perfect office outfit is one that is equal parts comfort and style. And if you can’t wear jeans to work, beige or cream palazzo pants with a button-down top is the answer. You’ll have freedom of movement and still look impeccable. Style tip: Break up the neutrals by adding pops of color with your accessories, whether that’s with a vibrant necklace, an interesting shoe, or an eye-catching tote.

For a night out or special occasion, you can maximize the elegance of palazzo pants by combining them with a party top. The magic of the neutral pant shade is that it allows for a top of any color. To style the outfit to its highest potential, consider heeled sandals or tall wedges. Those extra few inches of height will help everything look more pulled together.
