Fashion Definition: Choli

Choli
n. A midriff baring blouse cut to fit tightly to the body with short sleeves and a low neck worn with a sari or lehnga.

There is a growing trend towards stretchy, comfortable cholis made from knit materials. More popular is choosing a choli in a complementing color rather than matching it with the sari. The fashionably daring often go for backless, strapless or sleeveless choli's.
