Wide, flowing and unmistakably dramatic, the sharara is the comeback silhouette of 2026. Searches are climbing, and maroon and crisp white sets are leading the way. Here is how to wear the trend.
What Is a Sharara?
A sharara is a pair of wide, flared trousers that fall in a smooth line from the knee, worn with a kameez or short kurti and a dupatta. The effect is elegant and full of movement — made for an entrance. See where it sits in our 2026 trends guide.
Sharara vs Gharara
They are often confused. A sharara flares in one clean line from the knee. A gharara is gathered and ruched at the knee, creating a fitted top half and a dramatic frill below. Sharara is fluid; gharara is structured.
The Colours Trending Now
Maroon is the standout — rich, festive and flattering. Crisp white and ivory sharara sets are close behind for a fresh, modern take. Both photograph beautifully.
How to Wear a Sharara
It is a natural choice for mehndi and wedding celebrations. Balance the volume below with a fitted or cropped kameez, and let the dupatta do the draping. Keep jewellery statement and footwear simple. Explore occasion pieces in our wedding edit and mehndi edit.
The Sharara Kurti & Modern Takes
For an easier, contemporary look, pair a sharara with a shorter kurti rather than a full-length kameez. It feels lighter and works for daytime festivities.
