Palazzo pants
These versatile pants with extra-wide flare are often mistaken for a skirt and are available in a variety of styles that go from casual to evening. (The cropped version of these are called "gauchos.")
Be careful because these can add or hide weight. They will fall easily over the hips of a triangle without adding volume to the bottom, but if put on a petite frame, they can be overwhelming.
