Crop tops are the coolest choice for casual parties, wedding sangeet and casual wear. High waist skirts – both flared and straight cut, work well with crop tops. You can also wear a long cardigan or cropped jacket with it.

2. Crisp Button-Up Shirts

Rock a button up shirt with an Indian long skirt. You can wear a light colored combination to office, lunch or tea parties. A plain button up shirt works well with plain or printed skirt. Accessorize with layered chain or pearl necklaces, or statement earrings. You can make a statement by wearing one with an embellished skirt to small occasions like engagement parties!

3. Stylish Off-the-Shoulder Tops

Off-the-shoulder tops are chic! Definitely try an off-the-shoulder top to show off those well-toned shoulders. Go for a plain off-the-shoulder top in a contrasting color if the skirt is printed or embellished. Or opt for a matching top.

4. One Shoulder Tops

One shoulder and single sleeve tops – both are in trend! Pair them with your Indian long skirts for a really chic look to make a statement. To make your outfit more unique, wear an asymmetric one like the look by Anushree Reddy. Pair it with a choker or drop earrings so your outfit can totally steal the show.

Cropped jackets with Indian long skirts are perfect for winters. If you’re attending a winter wedding, then choose a formal one. Go for embellished, metallic or just a plain one to keep you warm and stylish at the same time.

6. Fashionable Peplum Tops

Peplum tops add a feminine touch to your outfit. A plain peplum top with long flowy Indian skirt is perfect for any season. If you have an hourglass figure, then pair your peplum top with a mermaid skirt.

7. Cool Tee Shirts

If you’re running out of choices and still don’t know what to wear with Indian long skirts, then grab a matching tee shirt and you’re all set. This look works for the office, movie outings or when you go out for shopping! If you’re wearing a plain skirt, then pair it up with a striped or graphic tee shirt. Accessorize with a cute necklace and sling bag
