Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sharara?
A sharara is a pair of wide-leg pants that flare from the knee, worn as part of a three-piece South Asian outfit with a fitted kameez (top) and a matching dupatta. The silhouette originated in the Mughal courts of Lucknow and remains one of the most popular choices for weddings, festivals, and formal celebrations. Unlike a gharara, which features a wider, more gathered flare with a visible seam at the knee, the sharara has a smoother, continuous drape.

We also offer local pickup from our Ebenezer Road store for GTA shoppers who prefer to see the piece in person first.

Our collection starts at standard sizes and goes up through 10XL (size 60). Many styles come in four to six color options, and we carry both fitted and relaxed silhouettes across the size range. If you’re unsure about sizing, visiting the store gives you the best fit experience. Our team can also handle alterations in-house, with most adjustments completed within two to three days.
What’s the difference between a sharara and a gharara?
A sharara features pants that flare gradually from the knee with a smooth, flowing drape. A gharara has a sharper, more gathered flare at the knee with a visible seam where the fitted upper portion meets the wider lower section. Both silhouettes originate from Mughal-era fashion and are worn across South Asian cultures. Shararas tend to offer more movement and work well for both formal and semi-formal occasions, while ghararas are traditionally associated with heavily formal and bridal wear.
