Model Alice Dellal isn’t shy of making brave fashion choices, and her check trews are guaranteed to raise your style status. A tailored white shirt would make these pants office-appropriate, or team with your favourite band tee.

The bandeau/palazzo pant combination is a classic way to wear wide-legged trousers for an evening occasion. Demi Lovato has chosen khaki rather than black as it sets off her yellow top and accessories. For daytime, tuck in your favourite Breton stripe tee.

With the pyjama trend hitting new-season heights, Kelly Rowland’s slinky stripe palazzo pants couldn’t be more on point. Look for subtle pinstripes, unless you plan on wearing a more blocky print – if so, opt for navy rather than white.

A palazzo pant in a floaty, light fabric, like this pair worn by Hilary Duff, is guaranteed to give your outfit a summery feel. Pair them with patterns, as she has, for a formal date, or take yours al fresco with a cute crocheted top and sandals.
