Palazzos and lehengas are always a preferred option because of such diversity that comes with these two pieces of the garment. Here are some quick ways to style them in different ways:

Casual wear can be easily converted into quick evening wear by adding some jewels. For instance, when wearing an anarkali indigo kurta with a skirt, add some oxidised silver jewellery to create a more party wear look. You could go beyond the earrings, and put on a quick necklace or a choker and some silver bangles.

The same palazzo or lehenga skirt can be worn multiple times without even getting the same noticed especially if you pair it with a different top.

For instance, in case of a lehenga skirt you can wear it with long kurtas at times, and then wear the same later with a crop top or a solid/print shirt and make it look completely different each time.

With the palazzos, you can wear them with kurtas for an ethnic look, and the same can also be worn with solid tops to create an indo-western casual look.

Layers are always edgy and they make anything look different. You could add a jacket or a shrug to elevate your look whether you’re pairing your skirt or palazzo with a kurta, a shirt or a crop top.

For instance, if you are wearing a solid Kurta with a solid skirt, you can layer it with a patterned shrug like an ikat print. If you are wearing a crop top with a skirt, you can either add a short full sleeves jacket to create a party wear ensemble or add a stylish cut sleeves long shrug for an easy casual look.

From printed to solid shrugs, cropped to long shrugs, layered or straight - you can play and create so many looks with the same skirt and palazzos depending upon the top you’re pairing it with and the occasion you’re dressing up for.
