The sharara is a traditional dress that was introduced into the Indian culture during the Mughal rule. But now it forms one of the major traditional costumes ofIndia. The sharara suit consists of a long flowing divided skirt, a blouse or choli and a dupatta for covering the head. A unique feature of the sharara are the pants, which are fitted till the knee, with wide flares from the knee onwards. Shararas look beautiful on tall women.
These days, the sharara suit is popular among all Indian women, especially the younger generation. What’s more, women have a wide range of shararas to choose from- sharara for weddings, the sharara choli for party wear, shararas for formal wear and so on.
