But, my not fitting to the modern idea of fashion and body shape, has led me to a fierce belief that fashion should only be followed if it suits your specific body shape. Some fashions suit tall frames, whilst other suit hour-glass shapes.
Nevertheless, every so often, there is a fashion that comes a long, claiming to be suitable for absolutely everyone as if it's some kind of miracle product. Of course, no item is 100% suitable for everyone, it's just not possible, and I have to say that I personally feel that the latest craze for "Palazzo" or very wide leg trousers is a hideous, but effective example of the point that I'm making.

These trousers are described as being "flattering" to every body shape, but seriously?? Okay, so the wide leg won't cling to fat thighs, but it will make your legs look even wider! And, how can they possibly look good on shorter legs? Surely they'll just swamp them making them look even shorter?
As I say, I'm not a fashion guru, or anything like that, so I'd really love it if someone could explain how it could possibly be a good idea for any who is my size to wear these.
Personally, I think they look hideous on any body shape, but that's just my opinion, and I really don't get the rise of these types of trousers. On me, they are unflattering tents that add about 10 lbs to my thighs. Plus, since I have short legs, I struggle to find trousers in the right length, so I also have images of all the material trailing around my feet, and since I don't wear heels that is surely a health hazard.
Okay, so I'm being melodramatic, but I'd love to see someone actually looking good in these trousers. Please prove me wrong, because I really do not get it!!
Does anyone own a pair of Palazzo trousers? I'd love to see photos of who these trousers look great on. Or even if you don't, what are your thoughts on Palazzo trousers? A good all-rounder for hiding wobbly bits, or a hideous monstrosity?
