Explore the realm of sartorial luxury with the top 5 Sharara sets for weddings and more, curated for those who aspire to stand out.
Dressing up in ethnic wear can evoke a sensation of self-love, which is why ethnic wear always seems to evoke a sense of femininity and grace. Whether you are attending a puja, birthday party, get-together, wedding function, anniversary, or celebrating any special day, any gorgeous Indian outfit can do wonders. However, if you want to stand out from the crowd or steal the show, you can opt for one of the gazillion options of Kurta Sharara set for women.
The history
The Sharara originated in the Mughal royalty and was primarily worn by women belonging to royal families. After the arrival of the Mughals, Sharara gained recognition in India. Due to the rich zari work, sequins, stones, and beads, this attire became popular among Pakistani and Muslim women worldwide.
Shararas were not very popular among Indians initially, as it is considered a Pakistani dress and was mostly worn by Muslim brides. Presently, the style has not only been embraced by Bollywood celebrities, but we also see many Indian brides opting for it. Shararas have become a favourite among young women and are now a must-have in their ethnic collections.
In Bollywood movies of the 1960s and 80s, actresses popularised this dress, and the popularity increased when modern actresses wore it at their wedding functions. As a result, we see women flaunting sharara sets for weddings and other festive occasions.
The difference between Sharara and Gharara
Sharara and Gharara appear similar, but the pants style is the main difference. The difference between a Sharara and a Gharara is that the pants in Shararas are panelled skirts, which are the party pants of traditional attire. Recently, designers have been improvising various styles of Shararas, and the embellished palazzo-style Sharara set has been a festive favourite. Shararas are only fitted at the waist and are flared to the hem with a big ghera. They are paired with ornate and long kurtas and dupattas.
On the other hand, Gharara is a structured pant, pretty similar to Sharara. It’s safe to say that Gharara is Sharara’s glamorous cousin. Gharara is often mistaken for Sharara, but it is a divided-panelled skirt. The well-structured pants are fitted at the thigh and dramatically flare from the knee. The flare of the Gharara is marked with an ornate band, usually at the knee. Ghararas are paired with shorter mid-length kameez. Although Ghararas have less fabric compared to a Sharara, both ethnic dresses are super comfortable, royal, and chic, all at once.
