Choli 2.0: A new-age blouse update

Ethnic dressing for women in this new age is possibly a more abstract and personal concept than it was in the past decades. Now that modern sensibilities have sharpened up, women love to navigate the infinitely interpretable space of versatile ethnic wear. With conceptual renditions being the most covetable styles for celebratory occasions, blouses paired with Indian silhouettes are being imagined in a plethora of distinct silhouettes. The styles we’re championing are all assimilation of vivid generations, of more elegance and glamour — powered with some playfulness. 

If you’re a millennial at heart, a playful blouse back with open cutouts and knotted accents is perfect to lend a contemporary appeal. Playing with sleeve proportions can make any demure silhouette instantly head-turning. If you’re someone who makes the most of every occasion to dress up, flouncy puffed sleeve blouses will serve as a testimony to your experimental style. 

In the age of celebrity-inspired looks, it is almost inevitable that OTT trends and fuss-free style begin to blur. For effortless glamour, embrace a phase of glitter-clad looks. If you have a celebratory event on the cards, take a page out of Athiya Shetty and Diana Penty’s stylebook and swap your demure blouse for an amplified version like theirs. 

Wish to tap into rich traditions with a modern approach? Reinstate how treasure-worthy heritage is in a sleek corset fit blouse. Or do you seek the old-world charm? Touted as one of the glamorous classics, backless cholis with tassel drawstrings are something you can never go wrong with. 

Making a trendy statement is a second nature to cold-shoulder and off-shoulder blouses. While these styles have an instant pick-me-up appeal, experiment with more offbeat elements if you’re looking for a 101 to take it a notch up. 

The key to finding the perfect new and now blouse is to choose something with a story and distinctive sense of personality. Discover a range of stunning statement blouses here.
