I have 3 of the Tropic Bliss palazzo pants.  I purchased two solid colors first to try them out.  I have paired them with jackets and heels to t shirts and tennis shoes and I always get compliments on them.  I saw them in these fun patterns and tried them.  More compliments.  I am going to order a couple more for summer.  The prints seem to be just a bit lighter than the solid material.  Since I will only wear the prints in summer, I like the fact they are a lighter material.  SOOOO cute and comfortable.  Get some!
