Different ways to style crop tops with saris
Desi clothing trends are forever evolving and sari blouses, in particular, see different necklines, back designs, embellishments and embroidery making each sari look unique. However, it’s not often that you can wear a blouse with different saris and, let’s be honest, they can be uncomfortable.
So, enter crop tops as sari blouses. Many influencers have demonstrated using crop tops as blouses for their saris, but does it look as glam in real life as it does in the photos? We are here to show you some trendy tops and how they can match with your saris at home and transform your outfit game.
If you are stuck on what to pair with your next sari, look no further than your own wardrobe.
The Asymmetric Top
This asymmetric top is great for everyday wear and, with a sari. You can drape your sari on the opposite side of the cut of the crop top as shown above. It is comfortable and you can purchase different colours to wear both with saris and without.

The Satin Lace-up Top
The back of a sari blouse is arguably the most beautiful feature, and we applied this to crop tops too. This satin, ruched top with a lace up back is perfect for any sari. You can drape your sari in such a way as to show off the front and back of the top to add a more feminine look to your outfit.

The Bandeau
A plain bandeau top is a great basic to have in your wardrobe and one you most likely already have, as it works with so many outfit options including a sari. We paired a plain white one with a black sari and added some silver jewellery to finish it off.

The V-Wire Velvet Top
Velvet adds elegance, warmth, and luxury and you can get a huge variety of velvet crop tops from almost every online shop. This one was very inexpensive and doubled up as a great sari blouse. Pair it with a long statement necklace and earrings to dress it up.

The Red Frill Sleeve
A red blouse stands out, gives colour to your sari and, is a perfect statement item to your outfit. This top also has frill sleeves which adds a playful touch to the outfit making it suitable for both day and night events. The sari we have paired it with has a red velvet trim which ties in both the colours well. It is important when using bold colours that the sari has elements of this colour incorporated within it, or colours that complement it to give a seamless finish. Unfortunately, the top above is sold out at H&M but we linked a similar one below for you.

The Mustard off-the-shoulder
An off the shoulder top is very flattering for a lot of body types and looks incredible with saris. The shoulder and neck exposure allows for big necklaces and jewellery to really bring out the colours. The one shown above is paired with a blue and gold sari to compliment the mustard. The slight ruffling adds some texture to the outfit, and you will definitely get compliments for wearing a crop top with this neckline.

The High Neck Top
Who doesn’t love a high neck top? Whether summer or winter, they are highly versatile. We paired this ribbed one with a mint green and gold sari; it is the perfect summer or winter sari look! Layer necklaces on top or leave the top plain and wear statement earrings. Stylish and chic, this will give a whole different look to your sari but, just be sure to do your makeup after the top is on… we have all made that mistake before!

We love that we can now use tops that have been sat at home for good use and reinvent the sari. Trends will continue to change but before you go sari blouse shopping, maybe think of going crop top shopping instead; you will get more for your money.
