How to style your palazzo for the office

Palazzo pants can never go out of style. They have been making serious waves in the fashion scene. And guess what? They’re totally slayable for the nine-to-fivers! Palazzos are like a breath of fresh air because they combine comfort and style in a way that’s totally on point. There are a few ways to get your palazzo styling to the A-level. See below:

Get the Right Fabric

The fabric of your palazzo pants is everything if your intention is to slay hard. You want something that’s classy and sophisticated, which can take your style from drab to fab. Go for high-quality materials like silk, satin, or linen. They drape like a dream and make you feel like a queen.

A Fitted Top Goes Better

To balance the volume of Palazzo pants, you need a fitted top. Imagine a tucked-in blouse, a structured blazer, or a sleek tank top. They complement the pants perfectly and make your waistline pop. Don’t go overboard with oversized tops, though. You don’t want to look like a sack of potatoes!

In Nigeria, we have colourful patterns that can also be embedded into office style. They can help you add extra colour to your palazzo styling. Go for it! A printed blouse or blazer can make your look stand out from the crowd. It’s like adding a sprinkle of Nigerian magic to your outfit. So, why not, if not!?

Choose the Right Accessories

The right accessories can elevate your palazzo pants game. A statement necklace, a pair of elegant earrings, or a stylish belt can make a huge difference. A black palazzo would naturally pair well with a colourful bag or earrings. Keep it simple but very classy.

Check for Dress Codes

The formality of your office environment will influence your choice of palazzo pants. For a more conservative office, opt for neutral colours and simple styles. But if your office culture is more relaxed, you can experiment with bolder patterns, brighter colours, and designs. Be careful not to overdo it because I know we can sometimes be really tempted.

Also, pay attention to your body shape. Tailor your palazzo to suit your body shape for more comfort and an elevated look.

Footwear

Your choice of footwear is equally important. Please don’t put on a black palazzo, a black top, and black shoes. You are not going to a burial. For neutral shades of the palazzo, it’s better to choose a shoe that is colourful. This helps to complement the neutral look. Closed-toe heels or flats are classic options that complement palazzo pants. Avoid overly casual footwear like sneakers or sandals, as they might not be appropriate for a professional setting. Who really wants a classy look but puts on sandals anyway?
