What top to wear with palazzo trousers?

17 replies

Riotgrrrrrl · 27/07/2018 20:29

I bought a pair of black with white spots palazzo trousers. They're comfortable and quite flattering (I'm a pear) but I can't work out what top to wear.
I tried going for effortless cool and put a loose white linen tshirt on with it but my husband rightly pointed out that I looked like I was wearing pyjamas.
I assume i need a tighter top but I think a best top would look like pjs too?

Does anyone have any ideas?

I usually wear a vest top with palazzo pants.

Oh really? Awesome, I'm glad vest tops work! I'll try that. Thanks Smile

Some kind of wrap top?

You just need to tuck your tshirts in.

I’m wearing mine with a shell top style sleeveless shirt or slouchy Milano knit top partly tucked in.

Loose palazzos need a fitted top; otherwise it becomes shapeless. The more skin (within reason), better I think. (not encouraging you to go out naked waist up though, unless you want to, you understand). I hope.

The only thing I found worked OP was a bodysuit (and believe me I never thought I'd say that since I was 13). Zara have some basic black and white ones, means no fabric gathering looking funny and better silhouette

Fitted shell top.

Riotgrrrrrl · 27/07/2018 21:31

Fab suggestions (though I'm definitely not going round topless - no one needs to see that!)
Thanks everyone, I'll have a look in Zara tomorrow

A wrap top, a tea blouse, any t-shirt tucked in

boxoftoads · 28/07/2018 17:02

@Riotgrrrrrl they are really nice - where are they from? I can just see a pic of the trousers but I am on just the app

Riotgrrrrrl · 28/07/2018 17:07

@boxoftoads they're Red Herring, I got them in Debenhams
