Comfort is key. That's it, that's the post.
I'm kidding, I have more to say but I do still think being comfortable is my #1 criteria when I pick pants and ever since I've been over leggings, palazzos have become my go-to for any ethnic look. Printed palazzos add a bit of cool and casual style to any kurta that would otherwise look a bit meh with standard pyjamis. If you've embraced the wide-legged life, read on.
Much like blue jeans, I feel blue palazzos go with SO many different colours, whether you're wearing it with a plain white kurta or a fancier, embroidered one. This leaf print is the right amount of ethnic and western so you could wear it with a plain white tee, too. These ones also go up to size 3XL.
You can't really go wrong with florals, no matter how "obvious" of a print you might find them to be. These beige ones are understated with just the right amount of colour that makes them perfect for daily wear, to run errands or head to the office.
Basically every shade of green is having its moment on Instagram right now thanks to the obsession that began with sage green. These palazzo pants will add some colour to an otherwise plan outfit without overdoing it. Plus, that discount price is unbeatable.
Use that saved sale money to get some gorgeous Indian jewellery, jhumkis, nose rings and beyond!
If I had to call a pair of ethnic pants the "cool girl pants", they'd have to be this pair. The lovely shade of blue (not too bright, not too dull), the polka dots, the wide leg that'll go with a tank top or a kurta. Yep, you need this in your closet.
This print instantly reminds me of Rajasthan and going around, looking at beautiful architecture all over. These palazzos are like the quintessential pair I think every wardrobe needs just because of how classic the print and colour is. Plus points for also being sustainable and ethical (hence the slightly higher price point than other pants on the list).
These ones are slightly more western than they are ethnic but for pants like these, I just like to call 'em fusion wear. Depending on how you style it, you can wear these to office one week with a plain black top and sneakers and a beige kurta and kolhapuris the very next week. Be experimental!
Speaking of kolhapuris, get yourself some new ones here!
Another colour that you've gotta have in your palazzo armour is pink. These ones aren't just floral, they're also panelled and striped so you probably don't have anything like it already. Which just means you can get another pair. Yes, you need another pair.
All these palazzos but what are you gonna wear 'em with? Check out these white kurtas that'll match ALL the printed palazzos or these ethnic brands for some more colour!
