What are balloon jeans?

Fitted at the hips, they widen with a slight fullness around the thighs, before subtly tapering at the bottom of the leg. Whether you have curves or are slender, these are the perfect trousers for a trendy style.

What is the difference between balloon jeans, boyfriend jeans, and palazzo jeans?
