Among the most gracious pieces of ethnic wear that exude the full richness of culture is the traditional choli, with lehengas or sarees. Well, being traditional is no excuse to freeze on trends; be it a wedding, a festive, or just being an ethnic-lover fashionista, here’s how you can wear your choli creatively while not missing its originality.
The neckline makes or breaks your look. Make sure to:
- High necklines render classy and elegant expression.
- Sweetheart or Deep V-Neck style for that modern sharp look.
- Halter necklines that give the wearer a fashionable, Indo-Western look. Pairing the necklines with choli is of perfect harmony and completely fresh while honoring the age-old tradition.
Add excitement with Sleeves
Another place where you can play is sleeves. You might:
- Vintage glamour is infused with fluffy sleeves
- Off shoulder or Cold shoulder in sleek yet a highly trendy version
- Bell Sleeves let your Garb do drama, flowing scene below with each bell style drawing out a different character of the choli. It can go as dressy for events and casual for daily wear.
Jackets and Capes Layered Look
Another trending trend is layering your choli with long jackets, capes, or shrugs. This will give your look depth and dimension while keeping you warm for that winter wedding. Embroidered or printed jackets sound just like the right option while staying true to the traditional while adding a modern silhouette.
Belt It Up!
A statement belt will cinch up those lehengas and saree-choli combinations with style. It not only chisels in the waist but also structures the full outfit. No matter it is metallic, traditional kamarbandh, or contemporary leather, this styling trick would make your traditional choli outfit reach for the stars.
Mixing and matching fabrics
The new trend is going to be that you don’t particularly have to have a lehenga and choli or saree of the same fabric and even the same design. You can mix and match and create a fabulous contrast in your outfit. You could:
- Do a silk choli with a georgette lehenga for texture
- Velvet and chiffon can make for a rich, opulent effect
- Try brocade with tulle for a blend of traditional with the modern
Accessorize Smartly
The right accessories can turn your outdated look at choli sexy.
- Pair old-school with chunky jewelry or minimal to give it a chic, modern feel.
- Take it over the top with a dramatic maang tikka or bindi.
- Add mojris or a modern block heel, and you’re done.
Drape it Differently
Sometimes, the easiest way to change the way your choli looks is by drape your saree or dupatta in a different way. Try:
- A belted drape in dupatta style to be very modern.
- The classic Gujarati or Rajasthani drape to be traditional.
- A cape-style drape to give that kind of red-carpet feel but feel very traditional.
Bold prints and bold colours, why not?
Do not be hesitant to play with prints and loud colours. A boisterous floral print choli, above all, can do quite a dramatic look when teamed up with a solid lehenga or saree. And bright colors like mustard yellow or royal blue mixed with the subtle tone will make your choli stand out quite dramatically without losing the balance on the general look.
Team it with Pants or Dhoti
For a fashion-forward twist, team your classical choli with dhoti pants, palazzos or even some sleek ankle-length pants. The ethnic and contemporary blend result in a choli that is cool, comfortable, and distinctively stylish.
Makeup and Hairstyling
Your makeup and hairstyle can even make a difference to your choli style. Look for the following:
- Smokey eyes and nude lips for an embellished choli.
- Bold lips and soft curls. It is a very romantic look.
- Long braid with fresh flowers adorning it gives it a feel of tradition.
Conclusion
Just a little bit of creativity and modern sparkle will turn your traditional choli into a really fashionable piece ready for anything. Whether you are using it for the ceremony of the wedding or even celebration of festivals, with the help of these styles as to how to style your traditional choli embracing the beauty of bold fashion statements, nothing can beat this latticework of success.
