These are times when using your existing resources to their utmost capacity has to be a norm. Too much of economic jargon here? Well in short restyling, reusing and rewearing old outfits has to be the next fashionable thing. Keeping that in mind, here are three different ways that one can style a palazzo saree. If you have observed, you will know that, Palazzo saree that are sold by famous brands aren’t exactly sarees. They do not have any pleats. They are basically dupatta draped with palazzo pants and matching tops. So here is how you can restyle your old embroidered or plain dupattas to create different stylish palazzo saree looks.
Three ways to wear palazzo saree
Indo-western Kurta Palazzo Saree
Most of the palazzo saree looks are Indo-western and can be carried effortlessly in any traditional function. Keeping this in mind, I have paired one of my pink polka dot kurta (very old) with my chikankari white palazzo pants (5 years old) and draped my white embroidered dupatta over it like a saree. I have tucked the dupatta at the waist like in ghagra choli and taken the pallu in front. This sidha pallu drape is put in place with a broad belt that covers the tucked in kurta and palazzo pants. Since I have only one broad belt in Black, I have used that. If you have a matching belt or if your palazzo pants are the formal ones, you can completely skip the belt altogether.
