Some classics never fade, only return with even more grace. And the sharara set is one such heirloom-worthy wonder.
Rooted in royal heritage and reimagined for the modern-day celebration, the sharara is elegance in motion. With its flared silhouette, intricate detailing, and unmatched comfort, it weaves together old-world charm and contemporary flair. Whether it’s a mehendi under marigold canopies or a family celebration at home, the sharara is once again finding its place in the heart of Indian festive dressing—one twirl at a time.
One of the reasons they are so loved is that they offer the perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The word ‘sharara’ derives from the Persian language, meaning ‘to flow’. This beautifully reflects the outfit’s silhouette, characterised by wide-legged, flared pants that resemble a flowing skirt.
Today’s designers are reimagining the sharara by experimenting with fabrics, lengths, and styling. You’ll now find it in a variety of fabrics such as georgette, velvet, chiffon, and organza, each lending a different character to the outfit. While the traditional golden embroidery remains popular, pastel hues, minimalist designs, and fusion cuts have also emerged, catering to a broader and younger population.
At Gopi Vaid, shararas for women are about heritage, identity, and expression. They are designed to flatter all body types and offer endless ways to personalise your look.
