The Palazzo Guide: Fabrics, Fits and Easy Outfit Ideas

Palazzos are loved for good reason. They are cool, comfortable and flattering. Choosing the right one makes all the difference.

Choose the right fabric

• Cotton: breathable for daily wear.
• Rayon: flowy and soft.
• Crepe and satin: dressier for parties.

Check the fit

The waistband should be comfortable, with elastic or a drawstring. The hem should just touch the top of your footwear. If you are short, choose a high-waisted palazzo and wear a little heel.

Pair with the right top

Because palazzos are wide, keep the top fitted or short to balance proportions. A short kurti, a crop top or a straight kurti with side slits all work well.

Print rules

Solid palazzo with printed kurti is safest. A printed palazzo works with a plain top in a matching shade.

Occasions

• Casual: cotton palazzo with a printed kurti.
• Office: neutral palazzo with a structured kurti.
• Festive: embroidered or satin palazzo with a dupatta.

Care

Wash on a gentle cycle, dry in shade and iron on low heat to keep the pleats neat.
