Ten bottoms is plenty if they are the right ten. Most people need fewer pieces and more colour discipline.

The core four

Black trouser. Navy palazzo. Cream trouser or palazzo. One grey. These four should do 80% of your week.

The colour four

Pista, maroon, coffee, and a soft pink or lavender — pick the four that already match your kurtis, not a new palette.

The two wildcards

One festive solid. One texture or double-cloth piece you love. Stop there. If a new pair does not beat something you already own, do not add it.

Shop the idea: browse Veljia palazzos and trousers, then filter by colour to build the outfit from the bottom up.
