If You Are Looking for Something Easy to Wear and Perfect for Any Occasion then Get Yourself a Gharara Suit(2020): 10 Best Gharara Suit for Sashaying Down the Ramp in This Trendy Yet Traditional Apparel

Traditional attire like Shararas and Ghararas have come back in vogue and have become a trend on special occasions and wedding events. While both sound similar and are often swapped with each other, they are quite different from one another. While a Sharara is a pair of loose and wide-leg trousers typically worn with straight Kurtis or designer anarkalis with a dupatta as part of the ensemble, Gharara is a pair of trousers fitted from the waist to the knees with a thick band right above the knees, where the cloth is gathered to form a flare to the toes. While, a sharara is akin to modern-day wide-leg palazzos but embellished with sequins, stones, zari and beads, a gharara is worn with a short kurti and a dupatta also embellished with work similar to a sharara.

Ghararas have their origin in Lucknow and were typically worn by Indian Muslim women with a mid-length tunic and paired with wide-leg pants gathered at the knee. The attire reflected the wearer’s social status back in those days. The gharara’s flare is marked with a decorated gota patti band to conceal the joint and is usually paired with a mid-thigh length kameez. As compared to a sharara, Gharara uses less fabric to tailor. The Gharara trousers/pants can be quite dramatic with each leg crafted with over 12m of fabric. For casual wear, cotton is much preferred, while for special occasions, fabrics vary from Silk to Georgette to Jamawaar Banarasi, Brocade and more.

From times immemorial, trousers/pajamas have witnessed immense experimentation that includes shararas, ghararas, farshi pajamas and fararas, not to forget the modern-day Palazzos. While Farshi pyjamas look similar to Ghararas, they are a little loose on the thighs and gather a few inches below the knees where it starts flaring to the end, where it touches the floor. A Farshi is typically paired with mid-thigh length Kurti. In a Gharara, you can pair the pants with a long or short kurti or even an Anarkali. This attire is best for a wedding event as it exudes both elegance and ethnicity.

Embellished with delicate zari work, sequins, stones, beads, thread or zardosi work, since the Mughal era, Gharara used to have pure gold and silver work on it back in the Mughal era. Now, floral motifs are usually embroidered on Ghararas on fabrics like chiffon, silk, net or velvet. For bridal wear, Ghararas have a lot of dabka, gota or salma work. Ghararas are usually in vogue during the wedding season for functions like mehendi or Qawaali nights, etc.
