Usually, dhoti is worn with kurti but to give it a modern touch you can wear it with different top wear such as: pair it with a crop top, a long jacket or a short kurti. Dhoti can be also worn with simple t-shirts and dupattas. And to give it a more western look you can pair dhoti with off shoulder or crop tops.
