Crop Top Lehenga Trends That You Should Keep An Eye Out For

With the ever-changing trends in the wedding industry, the fashion-quotient of weddings also changes with time. And the newest trend that we are spotting on every block are brides wearing the crop top lehenga. The typical, heavily embroidered lehenga choli has now taken a backseat and going minimal is in vogue.

Not only does a crop top lehenga ease out the look for you, but it also brings in the right touch of modern and western fashion with an Indian touch. In addition to raising the fashion bar, the best thing about a wedding crop top lehenga is that they are not for a certain restricted body type and can be adorned by every bride, be it a petite bride or one with an hourglass figure.

But before selecting your crop top lehenga, go through 3 things to keep in mind before splurging on one!

1. Know your cut

A crop top lehenga is known for its signature crop top, which ends at the midriff. Find the cut that works the best for you and your sensibilities. Do you want to flaunt your belly with glamour or leave a sliver of skin to show between your top and your lehenga?

The cut that we talk about over here is the midriff cut, the shape of your overall blouse and how it goes with your style sensibilities.

2. Find your fit

The next aspect is to get a fit that flatters your sensibilities and your body. You may opt for a loose fit or one that envelopes your body like a second skin. Based on your overall look, try a fit that works with your choice in lehenga style - a snug fit with a full Ghera lehenga and looser fit for something that fits your lower half, like maybe a fish cut lehenga.

3. Styling the Sleeve

For a crop top lehenga sleeve, you should try to pick a full sleeved top. The choli is going to be short, remember the main aim is to be free-flowing and relaxed as you don on this look.

4. Accessorise it Right

As you opt for long sleeves for crop top lehenga look, you should pair it with large necklaces and create a chic balance between the two by laying more emphasis on accessorising it right.

5. The Balancing Act

Being the bride, you have to ensure that you keep a good balance between unconventional and traditional. The best way to approach this is by choosing a high-waisted skirt with your crop top. This way you will be dressed just appropriate for your guests too.

• Opt for one-third of the sleeves or full sleeves as the top would be cut short and fuller sleeves would add grace to the entire look.
