5 Best Backless Cholis to Pair With Garba Skirts
Bright colours, statement prints and silhouettes that allow traditional Garba skirts to steal the show are the key to Navratri dressing. Backless and styled-back designs bring a modern touch to the classic cholis, a favourite for festive wardrobes. Backless, tie-up details and cropped silhouettes look good when paired with a flowing or embellished Garba skirt for a balanced look. The right blouse-style cholis can also add a contemporary finish without taking away from the skirt's traditional character.
