The verdict
Fit
Black minimizes visual weight even in a wide leg. This will sit higher or at the natural waist and drape generously; pair with fitted tops for balance.
Quality
Frame's black fabrics are usually their most robust—higher thread counts and weighting. This should hold the palazzo shape through many wears.
Is the price fair?
At $478, the black Slim Palazzo carries the same price as the coloured version, which is typical. Still premium for a palazzo, but black justifies it with versatility.
Best for
Dressers who own tailored tops and want a trouser that works from office to evening by simply changing shoes.
Care
Dry clean regularly; palazzo hems can fray more than slim cuts due to movement.
What owners report about Frame pants
Third-party coverage of Frame's pants range is almost entirely about its denim. Owners describe soft fabrics with stretch worked into nearly every cut, and one aggregation of 355 reviews across the web scored the brand 4.17 out of 5, with positive reviews heavily outnumbering negative ones. Reviewers tie the roughly $230 average price to Los Angeles manufacturing, and more than one recommends buying the line secondhand instead. The most repeated caveats are erratic sizing between styles and rises that sit lower than the product descriptions suggest.
- Strengths
- Owners consistently praise the comfort — soft, stretch-forward denim that several reviewers say fits them better than anything else they own.
- Watch out for
- Sizing and rise vary noticeably from style to style, and the stretch blends will not wear as long as all-cotton denim.
- Sizing
- Reports conflict — one long-term owner calls Frame true to size while an aggregate review roundup says some styles run large — so check the per-style measurements rather than assuming your usual size.
