This guide will provide five ways of styling a sharara set for different functions and occasions.

What Makes a Sharara Set Versatile?

Sharara is an ethnic dress set consisting of three items: the kurta top, wide-flared bottom, and dupatta. The unique feature of the sharara is the silhouette of flared pants, which can be easily distinguished from the silhouettes of the regular salwar, as well as the lehenga. Moreover, this silhouette is very flattering when photographing, as well as looks great regardless of the fabric chosen: from heavy silk to light chiffon.

The important thing to know about a sharara is how this silhouette changes depending on the fabric chosen, embroidery and accessories used. It's also important to know the difference between the sharara and the gharara silhouette, so that you can choose what to wear for each occasion.

The sharara is made of a single piece of flared pants flaring gently from the knee or thigh, while the gharara is made from two pieces of flared pants sewn together at the knee seam or joined with the ruffle. Both silhouettes are great to photograph and wear, but the sharara has more movement.

1. The Bridal-Ready Statement Look

When choosing a sharp set for a wedding ceremony or a reception, a set that has rich embroidery and heavy fabric is the right choice to go for there is no need in layering it. An example of such set can be the Deep Red Silk Sharara Set with Gota Patti and Sequin Work. Gota patti is a traditional embroidery technique adding to the beauty of fabric without making it heavy. Combining the gota patti with sequin work is the best idea for an evening light catching on a dance floor.

Styling tip: Choose only one statement piece of jewelry jhumkas or maang tikka since the embroidery of the dress set is already decorating it.

2. Romantic Look For Day Functions

Every occasion does not require elaborate embroideries on the outfits. For functions happening during the day, including Mehndi or engagement, a sharara suit made of light fabric along with minimum detailing looks great. This is where Nyla Rosewood Sharara Set in Georgette Satin with Zari Detailing can be considered. Its rosewood color works very well to give a festive look without making the ensemble appear over the top. The use of georgette satin makes it flowy even if one stands, sits, or dances for hours together.

Styling Tip: One can team it up with minimal jhumka earrings and dupatta that has been loosely pinned rather than wearing it in pleats as the outfit is already quite fancy.

3. Cool Colored Ensemble For Cocktail Look

During the sangeet, cocktail hour or reception, the choice of colors becomes quite important in setting the mood right. Colors such as powder blue and deep blue help set up a festive mood without giving a bridal feel, which works great when it comes to choosing something different from the usual. The Powder Blue Chiffon Gharara Set with Zari Sequin Embroidery works great for this purpose as it is light in nature because of the chiffon base and gets enough glamour with zari and sequin detailing.

Styling Tip: Instead of gold jewelry, a silver or oxidized piece of jewelry works best with cool toned outfits.

4. Bold And Confident Color For Festive Mood

If one wants to make their presence felt at any event by just walking in, there is no better option other than going bold with the colors. The Zara Deep Blue Gharara Set with Zari Sequin Embroidery helps make the statement. The deep blue color is rich in nature without being too traditional like red. Moreover, it is different from all those other colors which most people opt for as their default options.

Styling Tip: In such a case, it is advisable to wear polished hair and makeup with minimal accessories to let the deep blue speak for itself.

5. Modern Drapery

A sharara or gharara suit ensemble can also look very different based on the drapery of its dupatta. The traditional pleat drape on both shoulders can look very formal and classic and therefore suitable for ceremonies. Single shoulder draping can also be quite contemporary when done loose perfect for sangeet and cocktail functions. One can always give the dupatta a cape-like draped look by throwing it over both shoulders and securing it at the waist; this will also add some structure to the outfit without altering it.

Diagonal draping can also be another interesting option and especially for those who wish to emphasize a neckline design on their kurta, such a drapery should be secured by a brooch or decorative pin. No matter what style you may choose, dupatta drapery can be the single easiest way to transform the whole formality of the outfit without purchasing anything new.

Styling tip: Nyla or Zara suit sets can easily change their status either to ceremony appropriate or reception appropriate just by altering dupatta drapery and exchanging high heels for some embellished juttis, or vice versa.

Fabric guide: Matching sharara sets to the season and occasions

Silk – the richest option, best suited for ceremonies, receptions, and cool weather
Georgette and silk blends – light and flowing, great for daytime functions and warm weather
Chiffon – lightweight and breathable, best for sangeets and cocktails
Heavy fabrics with rich embellishments (gotapatti, heavy zari work) – for the main ceremony/reception when the outfit is the center of attention

Why trying these outfits on in Dallas makes the difference

Since sharara sets are mostly based on drapery and movement, those are two elements that the photos of the products cannot demonstrate properly. You may find that a fabric that looks too structured actually flows more or a color of blue shifts with different lighting, etc. By trying the dress on you can be sure about its draping effect, colors, and movements.

That is why trying on sharara sets in our Agapi Clothing store in Dallas is so important compared to purchasing one blindly without any prior experience. Our specialists will help you to find an outfit of a proper fabric weight for your event, demonstrate different dupatta drapery options and check the rightness of the fit of the garment.

Should you be in Dallas, Irving, Plano, or any other part of the DFW area and need to plan your wedding season soon, it might be a good idea to visit the store first before purchasing your sharara set online.
