Tube choli : Seamlessly merging the western tube top with the classical mythological costume, a tube choli has no shoulders and is worn fitted, whether waist-length or just as a bustier. It could be contrasted with the saree in terms of a striking colour and glitzy embroidery to match. Be sassy!
Spaghetti: The strings that Mandira Bedi made so famous could just be the right design for your choli . Be it noodle or flat strings, the look spaghetti cholis flaunt is unquestionably bold, but feminine.
Long, wide-necked: This special design is for a royal look. Waist-length, fitted cholis with a side-cut and wide, low neck speak of stately kingdoms and its dainty damsels. After all, you are a queen of the wedding night!
Bias-cut: No! They are not out of fashion yet. This seemingly done-to-death design, when it is taken from the neck to the waist cut, not only gives your upper body a svelte look, but also makes your waist look slimmer. Reason enough to try it, ha?
Tie-ups: The spunkiest of all, these tie-up cholis hide as much as they reveal. The ultimate statement in sensual dressing, these cholis don't have the regular buttons or zips, but long straps that are tied in a knot at the lower-back, or alternatively at the front. Adds a zing to whatever saree or lehenga you match it with.
Single-sleeved: A smart version of the single shoulder gowns, these cholis have just one shoulder strap and leaves the other tantalizingly bare. It could be a simple one with front buttoning or can be a high-waisted bustier type.
High choli : As the name suggests, it doesn't linger longer than necessary. It ends at your upper waist, flaunting your stomach and navel. Looks best with a little revealing neckline and cap sleeves and a lehenga that starts just below the navel.
Backless: A heart-stopper, a backless choli always attracts attention. Add a zing with a transparent string attached with little bells at the end and watch everyone wondering where the sweet music is coming from! More than one way to make heads turn!
Stringed backs: The choli back needs special attention. You could have slanting strings stitched on or tie-ups in different shapes and sizes. For a night to remember, you could opt for multiple strings coming together at the centre of your back and have your husband open it for you one by one.
Bustier: An odd cousin of the tube, a bustier type choli supports the bust all the way to mid-waist giving a certain kind of elegance to the posture. The length of the choli is variable and looks best ending just above the navel when teamed with a fish-cut lehenga . And it need not be without sleeves. It looks equally elegant with straps.
Corsets: This British legacy has been skillfully reworked to the Indian advantage by giving it the shape of a choli . A fitted choli is only enhanced in its shape and comfort by the stiffness of a corset. Again, it looks lovelier when coupled with a lehenga than a saree.

Jacketed: Jacketed cholis look best when worn long, ending at the pelvic bone. These regal declarations are stately with full-length fitted sleeves and a low-wide neck supported with a Chinese collar behind. These can add that extra-something to your regular Kanjeevarams and gives you the freedom to drape your saree the way you want.
So you see, you are not stuck with the staid, traditional choli anymore. Take your pick from the above and make your day! And yes, do tell us which style you liked best and why!
