Do you have a button down that you can tie at your waist ? (Or a Sleeveless option for hot days). Both will create a nice long line and if made of cotton percale, help keep you cool on hot days. You could also try a half-tuck, front-tuck, cross-tuck, etc..whatever works best! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2289785 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 17:22:16 +0000 Ellemnop 2289785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #4 the best! The inverted V shape at the waist adds back a bit of waist structure to help balance the silhouette-surrendering pants. I am also probably biased because that soft teal is one of my favorite colors, and you look fab in it :-).</p> <p>I also agree with some of the previous suggestions that a short boxy top could work here too if you want to play with the shape even more.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2289740 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 13:56:12 +0000 Helena 2289740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these looks great? I agree a boxy top would also work well for a modern vibe. Definitely not shapeless though in any of these!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2289736 Fri, 04 Nov 2022 13:37:36 +0000 Lesley 2289736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you nailed it! In keeping with my usual contrarian role I like #2 the best, but they really all work great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271914 Fri, 15 Jul 2022 09:06:02 +0000 lyn67 2271914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Noooo, don't shorten!!! You'll better just fold under a few cm, see how it works--or rather take it in at the sides to be more tailored and then will hike up on it's own a bit more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271503 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 13:22:50 +0000 Lana 2271503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stylefan, Jaime, Rachylou and lyn, I think the shorter wider neckline tops work so well. I’ll try the Bardot one untucked but will need to get it shortened. I just ordered this corset top from ASOS. Adding the opposite appeals to me since the bottoms are shapeless and the top is body conscious. It will be nice under a loose topper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271494 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 12:48:54 +0000 lyn67 2271494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fave is nr 3-because it's bright white, shows maximum of skin but the Carmen cut&nbsp; balances out the width of the pants- and would wear the top untucked, too. <br />What if you would try them with a boxy/fluid&nbsp; and more structured and woven top say...a shortish&nbsp; linen/uni resort&nbsp; shirt with a length just to where the waist of the palazzo pants are still showing going inwards--not really hips.&nbsp;<br />I noticed the model is also wearing a fluid top in the ad--it doesn't have to be that long---but her's is also woven and&nbsp; sleeveless?:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271453 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 02:51:21 +0000 rachylou 2271453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the off the shoulder top is excellent for the following reasons:<br /> - it’s ‘short sleeved’, matches the breezy, summery vibe<br /> - isn’t baggy (not that the other tops are, just saying that’s a factor)<br /> - shows your shoulders which gives structure to the outfit (that’s ‘structure’ in the way Angie uses the term)</p> <p>I think tops that do these things are the ticket.</p> <p>Note that a tank with a loose sweater over it would work … a topper wouldn’t have to have those qualities IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271449 Wed, 13 Jul 2022 02:15:00 +0000 Jaime 2271449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like #3- that blouse is stunning on you. Also 4 and 5. A more fitted top or some shoulders offset the inevitable shape of these sort of pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271400 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 19:54:56 +0000 Style Fan 2271400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely pants. They have a nice, summery vibe. I like the shorter tops with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271386 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:42:35 +0000 Lana 2271386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JamC</b>, I just got off the phone with Boden and they are going to send me an exchange pair, hope they are better.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><b>Slimcat</b>,&nbsp;<b></b>so right about the shoes, I feel like they need a shoe in the same value for a longer line.

However, I noticed the pattern placement immediately and find it distracting. The Boden link shows lines that match up! I would ask for a replacement. Zooming in on the print shows the lovely color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271314 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 14:23:29 +0000 LJP 2271314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just came back to add : if this is a work outfit, then a cropped boxy top might read too casual. &nbsp;If these are non-work looks, I think you've got tons of options &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271312 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 14:01:38 +0000 Lana 2271312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>LJP</b>, I have an eyelet blouse that is the right shape, but may be too much going on with the pattern in the pants. I’ll try it though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271310 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 13:56:52 +0000 LJP 2271310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 3-5 too , and agree that a boxy loose fitting top would be a modern update . Very cute outfits though and I love your shoes and bag here ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271305 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 13:09:11 +0000 Lana 2271305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just noticed that the pattern doesn’t not match up! &nbsp;I may call Boden and see if they are all like that. &nbsp;I need to decide if the unmatching pattern is ok. If it matched it would give more horizontal lines, and that’s widening. With the alternating maybe it’s better for lengthening? From your replies, it sounds like shorter tops with a wide neckline and curved hem are the best &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Janet</b>, the wideness of those necklines seems to Balance the pants. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Thanks <b>Robin</b>, I’ll consider shortening them. That may be all they need is to show some ankle.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>merwoman</b>, you’re right the white ones work best! Thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sisi and Brooklyn,</b>&nbsp;thanks so much, top #2 does not work at all and in #1 there is too much ruching to detract from the pants. <b>Brooklyn</b> they are a light teal/aqua.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271301 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:53:49 +0000 Janet 2271301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them best with the white off-shoulder and boatneck tops. That vibe really works well. Emphasizes the summery feel of the pants and creates really nice proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271296 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:28:03 +0000 RobinF 2271296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these look great on you. I will agree that the semi tucked top doesn't work as well as the others, but I like all the rest. You might get more of a tailored vibe if your ankles show so hemming could be an option of you still struggle with them, although I really like them as they are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271295 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:22:15 +0000 merwoman 2271295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the toppers in pics 3 and 5. There’s something about the curved hem and contrasting colour that give your styling the wowsa. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271294 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:22:03 +0000 Sisi 2271294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that, as you say, you need to get used to them because I think you look very well in them! I like all the outfits except the top in #2 . <b>Brooklyn</b> has been able to see what I did not realize - shorter tops work better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271292 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 12:03:57 +0000 Brooklyn 2271292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I must be missing something because I think they look great. I prefer them with a shorter top (doesn’t have to be tight). So 3-5 look good to me. No 1 is a little too long and I’m not sure if the semi tuck (??) in no 2 is right because of the elastic (??) waist. A boxy but shortish tee would work nicely I think.</p> <p>But they are lovely on you. Are they green or blue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271289 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 11:57:39 +0000 Lana 2271289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>Stag</b>, the white tops make the pants recede some which probably helps. I’ll try with a darker top.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271288 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 11:52:34 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2271288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your jade or emerald green tank top or T, or something even darker than those, like whatever the green equivalent of navy is? Of these options, 3 &amp; 5 are my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-palazzo-pants#post-2271286 Tue, 12 Jul 2022 11:37:59 +0000 Lana 2271286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could someone help me figure out how to make these wide pants feel less shapeless? &nbsp;Do I just need to get used to them or maybe I need a more tailored version? Obi or Corset belt? They are so comfortable, but not my usual fit. Too hot for a jacket and thinking a tight top would be best or waist definition but still not feeling it yet. My favorites are the tied aqua sweater and off shoulder white top with the curved hem. #4 and #5.&nbsp; </p>
