Selecting Palazzos for Your Body Type

First thing you wanna know when learning how to wear palazzos is choosing the right palazzos. You want to choose the right pair for your body type, otherwise not even a good top or accessories will be able to save the outfit. And an unflattering pair will only go to the bottom of your closet and stay there forever!!

  1. If you’re curvy or pear-shaped, go for dark colors and flowy fabrics for a slimming effect.

  2. How to wear palazzos if you’re short? Go for striped or pleated palazzos that’ll elongate your silhouette.

  3. Find flowy palazzo pants for short height. Go for flowy, light-weight fabrics, since stiff fabrics will add a lot of bulk, making you look stumpy.

  4. Also if you’re short, avoid ankle-length palazzos and go for longer ones that can cover your heels to look taller.

  5. If you’re short, or don’t have a flat tummy, avoid palazzos that have a thick belt or a lot of fabric in the waist area.how-to-wear-palazzo-pants--TUMMY-2
  6. Try with the right shoes before you buy them so that you make sure that you like the overall look.

What Tops to Wear with Palazzo Pants

1. Type of Tops

How to wear palazzos with the right kind of top? Tucked-in, well-fitted tops generally look the best as they mimic the hourglass shape. Sleeveless tops are great too. Tees, crop tops and even button-up shirts can work.

Fit matters a lot. You don’t want something that adds bulk or folds in the tummy area, since it will ruin the silhouette, making you look shapeless.

So avoid stiff fabrics like heavy cotton, silk or organza for your palazzo style.

2. Color

You can also go for a matching top for a jumpsuit-like effect.

Or a lighter shade of your palazzos like grayish silver with black. Pastels work, well, with pastels. Like white with sky blue or peach with cream.

3. Fabric

For a rich, well-put-together look, go for a fabric of similar texture and weight. Like flowy with flowy, crepe with chiffon. Cotton blends, satin and lycra are good options, too.

4. Length

Go for tops that can be easily tucked in, or well-fitted crop tops. Long tops don’t really look as flattering, but A-line tops may work well, especially with the belt.

Even loose crop tops may be okay. Peplums may or may not look good, so they’re worth a try. Also try palazzo pants with long tops. Maxi tops with a front slit can look great, especially on pear-shaped girls. You can also add a belt to give structure.

Season

Palazzos are generally for summers only but they may work in transition seasons like early fall with a full sleeve top, a cropped denim jacket or well-fitted tucked in sweater. You can also add a scarf.

How to Wear Palazzos: Accessories

1. Handbags for Palazzos

For casual palazzo pants outfits, go for a tote bag or cross-body bag. And for an elegant look, you can try a clutch, a sling bag or a large structured bag. Micro bags look the most elegant. Match the bag and shoes either with your top or with your palazzos.

Flats, of course, also work with palazzo pants outfits. And even sneakers, for an experimental look, especially with crop palazzos.

3. Jewelry

Long chains, beaded necklaces, chokers – all are great ideas. Or long tassel earrings. Stacked bracelets or rings work well too.

Hair and Makeup

A side fishtail braid, wavy hair or top knot look perfect for a casual, boho look. For a party, you can even wear a chignon or ponytail with palazzo pants outfits. Keep the makeup minimal for a summer look. Or add some color to match the top or palazzos like in the eye shadow or lipstick.
