Palazzos are not pajamas, and let that sink in first. Palazzo pants are straight cut, or very often, flared pants or culottes which have regained their position in the Indian fashion scene after quite some time. Every other person, starting from college kids, to fashion bloggers, and designers, both domestic and international are relying on the growing popularity of palazzos and you can almost see them everywhere, starting from flea markets, to high end stores in the shopping malls. This piece of clothing is too good and is hence an irresistible bottom wear. Palazzos are awesome for summers since they have that easy breezy texture and allow the legs to breathe, rather than making your legs a sweat bomb. These pants have a lot of scope and space for experimentation and thus, these are a few ideas on how to style your palazzo.
Styles You Should Definitely Look Up
1. Regular Palazzo
Also called the straight pant palazzos, these pants are the most basic pair or palazzos in the palazzo community, and these are available for every body type, and from every price range starting from flea markets to shopping malls. The price range could be around a hundred fifty to as high as a thousand and a half. They have a very nominal amount of flare and are extremely popular.
2. Slit Palazzo
These pants are the best deal for summers, since like regular straight palazzos, these palazzos come in with a slit, either on the side or in front and they provide maximum comfort during the scorching days. These palazzo pants can not be paired up with kurtis, but they are mind blowing in case someone wants to make an indo-western statement.
3. Pleated Palazzo
They are your regular palazzos, but the fabric is stitched in a pleated manner, which allows a lot of flare in the pants. These palazzo pants are also sometimes mistaken to be skirts, but they offer a great silhouette if worn with kurtis, or simply with graphic or plain t-shirts. This pair of pants are hands down the best and the most comfortable pair you would be owning.
4. Dhoti Palazzo
These pants are literally the first cousin of the classic dhoti, but are more comfortable. Dhoti palazzos are making a comeback since the 2010’s and they can be worn with a wide gamut of tops and kurtis. The best and iconic way to wear a dhoti palazzo pant is to pair it up with a plain white shirt and a chunky necklace and you would definitely be the head turner on the road.
5. Culottes
Culottes are extremely popular among college kids and working professionals solely because of the reach of these pants. These pants are generally of a knee length or sometimes, reach up to the calves. You could go the basic way and pair your culottes with a t-shirt, and maybe throw in a denim jacket on top of it. Along with that, you could also incorporate some junk oxidised jewelry to complete the look.
6. Palazzo Suits
You have to incorporate palazzos into a traditional look for more depth in your persona. Palazzo suits when paired with kurtis look gorgeous and can be sported easily to a wedding or any ocassion of such magnitude. You can pair up your palazzo pants with such a suit and can slightly go overboard with the accessories if you are about to go to a wedding. This not only gives you a glamorous and royal look, but it also makes you feel like one.
These styles would take you some time to incorporate and for that time being, you would be extremely happy to ditch your regular pair of jeans to experiment more with these pants.
