[[File:Choli.jpg|thumb|Woman in choli c. 1872.]]
A '''choli''' ([[Hindi]]: चोली, [[Urdu]]: چولی, {{lang-gu| ચોળી}}, {{lang-mr|चोळी}}, [[Nepali language|Nepali]]: चोलो ''cholo'') (known in South India as ''ravike'' ([[Kannada language|Kannada]]: ರವಿಕೆ, [[Telugu language|Telugu]]: రవికె, [[Tamil language|Tamil]]: ரவிக்கை)) is a [[blouse]] or a [[bodice]]-like upper garment that is commonly cut short leaving the [[midriff]] bare, it is worn along with a [[sari]] in the [[Indian subcontinent]]. The choli is also part of the [[Gagra choli|ghagra choli]] costume in the Indian subcontinent.

In Northern Gujarat bordering Rajasthan, Palanpur in particular (Banaskantha), Polku, {{lang-gu| પોલકું}} word was used.

The choli evolved from the ancient ''[[stanapatta]]'', also known as ''kurpsika'' or ''[[Kanchuka|kanchuki]]'', which was one of the forms of three-piece attire worn by women during the ancient period.<ref>Prachya Pratibha, 1978 "Prachya Pratibha, Volume 6", p. 121</ref> This consisted of the ''[[antriya]]'' lower garment; the ''[[uttariya]]'' veil worn over shoulder or head; and the ''stanapatta,'' a chestband, which is mentioned in [[Sanskrit]] literature and Buddhist [[Pali]] literature during the 6th century BC.<ref>Agam Kala Prakashan, 1991 "Costume, coiffure, and ornaments in the temple sculpture of northern Andhra", p. 118</ref>

Paintings from [[Maharashtra]] and [[Gujarat]] from the first millennium BCE are considered the first recorded examples of the choli.<ref>Prachya Pratibha, 1978 "Prachya Pratibha, Volume 6", p. 121</ref> Poetic references from works such as [[Silappatikaram|''Silapadikkaram'']] indicate that during the [[Sangam period]] (third-century BCE to fourth-century CE in ancient South India), a single piece of clothing served as both lower garment and upper shawl.<ref>Linda Lynton, Sanjay K. Singh (2002) "The Sari: Styles, Patterns, History, Techniques.", p. 40</ref> Paintings and sculpture indicate that the ''stanapatta'' evolved into the choli by the first century CE, in various regional styles.<ref>Prachya Pratibha, 1978 "Prachya Pratibha, Volume 6", p. 121</ref> ''[[Rajatarangini]]'', a tenth-century literary work by [[Kalhana]], states that the choli from the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] was introduced under the royal order in Kashmir.<ref name="Vijay Singh Katiyar">{{cite book|last1=Katiyar|first1=Vijai Singh|title=Indian saris : traditions, perspectives, design|date=2009|publisher=Wisdom Tree in association with National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad|location=New Delhi|isbn=9788183281225|pages=211|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8RjgPQAACAAJ|access-date=31 October 2015}}</ref>

Early cholis were front-covering and tied at the back. Cholis of this kind are still common in state of [[Rajasthan]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4_Rl5c_v1-kC&q=India:+past+%26+present+By+Prakash+Chander|title=India: past & present – Prakash Chander |isbn=9788176484558 |via=Google Books|access-date=13 November 2011|last1=Chander |first1=Prakash |year=2003 }}</ref> In Nepal, the garment is known as a ''cholo'', and in Southern India as a ''ravike.'' Both of these styles are tied at the front, unlike Northern Indian cholis, which are tied at the back. In parts of the Hindi Belt, mostly in Rajasthan, [[Haryana]] and [[Uttar Pradesh]], women wore vest-like garments, known as ''kanchli'', over choli; this complete costume is known as the ''[[poshak]]''.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nckSAQAAIAAJ|title=Costume, textiles and jewellery of India: traditions in Rajasthan|last=Bhandari|first=Vandana|publisher=Mercury Books|year=2005|isbn=9780811810845|page=84}}</ref>

Traditionally, the choli has been made from the same fabric as the sari, with many sari producers adding extra length to their products so that women can cut off the excess fabric at the end of the sari and use it to sew a matching choli.{{fact|date=October 2013}} For everyday wear, [[cotton]]-based materials and silk cotton are widely considered the most comfortable.

Designers have experimented with the choli, influencing pop-culture fashion in the Indian subcontinent, with adventurous tailoring and innovative necklines, such as [[halterneck|halter]], [[tube top|tubes]], [[Backless dress#choli|backless]] or [[Spaghetti strap|stringed]].<ref name="vidya">{{cite news|title=Vidya Balan puts plunge cholis on fashion map |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-20/trends/30474361_1_cholis-corsets-neeta-lulla|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701175127/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-20/trends/30474361_1_cholis-corsets-neeta-lulla|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 1, 2012|access-date=12 April 2012 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |date=December 20, 2011}}</ref> Anupama Raj, a designer and boutique owner, commented that "there is a very real need to re-invent the choli so that it can be worn with a variety of outfits. Just as we see the choli to be a deconstructed form of the blouse, we need to deconstruct the choli." Bobby Malik, an exporter-turned-designer commented "the choli is the most sensuous of all garments created for women. It not only flatters the feminine form, but also brings out the romanticism in a woman. But where Indian designers have failed is at giving it an international look and making it still more beautiful."<ref name="chdes">{{cite news| first=Sumona | last=Roy|title=Deconstructing the choli into daring designs |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020831/windows/fashion.htm|access-date=13 April 2012|newspaper=The Tribune|date=August 31, 2002}}</ref>
