Here are a few style tips to keep in mind when you are opting for a crop top skirt:
One thing we love about crop top lehengas is that it adds a glamorous touch to your entire look and will surely make some heads turn. And this style can be worn by anyone, just keep these points in mind:
1. Go monochrome with lehengas:
We all know that one thing which is in trend right now is, monochrome outfits. So, crop top bridal lehengas look best when the blouse is in the same color as the lehenga skirt. But if you’re wearing a saree then we suggest you go with a contrast color crop top as it will help highlight your outfit.
2. Draping is the key:
How to drape your dupatta correctly can be game changing. As your crop top lehenga will already have a modern touch to it, your dupatta should be draped in a simple way. Taking your dupatta in a regular Gujarati style or a sari style over a lehenga will tend to take away the edginess of your entire outfit.
3. Try all before finalising onto one style:
To find a crop top style that works for you and your body type is very important. What makes a crop top lehenga different from other designs is that it ends at the midriff. From high neck, halter top, to a plunging neckline, make sure to try all the styles and see what looks the best before deciding on one style.
4. Make your outfits more form fitting:
Don’t forget about the fit. If you're opting for a full ghera lehenga then it is best that you go for a body fitting crop top as this will highlight your figure. And if you’re going for a fish cut lehenga then try going for a looser fit crop top style. These things are really important and can make or break your entire outfit.
Follow these jewellery styling tips when going for crop top saree:
- Choker: Opt for a choker set when you’re wearing a plunging neckline blouse
- Contrast is the way to go: When deciding on your pre-wedding or wedding jewellery, make sure to go for contrasting colors to add that pop or neutral color jewellery which compliments your crop top lehenga.
- Statement earrings and heavy neckline: If you’re wearing a heavy neckline crop top blouse then ditch the necklace and go for statement earrings.
- Less is more: As we all know how fast the fashion industry progresses, one time you might want to go all OTT but by then it changes to being minimal. And as we all have heard, less is more, so when you are going with heavy jewellery make sure to keep your neckline plain and without much work or embroidery. Let the jewellery do it’s magic.
