These crop top + maxi skirt pairings prove that opposites attract in fashion too

Both feminine and powerful, the combination of a bra top and voluminous skirt is sure to add a playful spin to your wedding closet

With the wedding season downsized to intimate affairs, it's a great time to think of versatile engagement and cocktail-ready outfits. And if you are too tired of your traditional lehengas, give a spin to your Indian wear wardrobe by opting for a crop top and voluminous skirt pair. 

If you are someone who prefers a dark hue, you can invest in a silk blend bra from Magda Butrym and lighten the mood of your ensemble with a floral tiered maxi skirt from Dundas. Instead of your regular sandals, opt for a Cult Gaia pair which has a hand-carved spherical heel and add a delicate touch with a rainbow swan necklace from Swarovski. 

From embroidery to ruffles, here are the most vibrant coordinates for the months to come. Browse through Vogue's edit of big-small combinations.
