Going Old School and Voluminous
Ladies and…ladies! Put your hands together for the airy and the super comfy GHARARA! Ghararas are majorly trending and we are loving the variety they provide to the wardrobe in the bottoms department. Ghararas are no more the staple that you sport on your maayun or mehndi function. It is also no more the 1942 old-fashioned clothing item dadi jaan wore in her first ever black and white family picture. On the contrary, the gharara is hot, it’s fashionable, it’s ethnic and it is THE number to own this season.
So, how about a little lesson on how you can fully enjoy the revival of the beloved gharara? Get your cup of tea ready and your feet up on the couch, girlfriends! It is tutorial time.
The coolest way to do the gharara look is to go for it the casual way. It does not have to be laden with dabka and moti work. You can wear it during the day and enjoy the room and the comfort. They are so easy breezy!Best part? No one will be able to see the extra kilos you put on during the pakora-samosa-month that we call Ramzan! We saw a few celebrities sporting the lovely gharara on Eid and they looked great. Take a look.
Where to buy one for yourself from?

How to rock the look?
Top it up with white
We love printed gharars being paired with plain or chikan
white tops. You can go for a white crop top, a full sleeves collar kurti, a
sleeveless shirt or an off shoulder blouse. A white upper will allow your gharara to
take centre stage and get all the attention.
A short waistcoat/
jacket
We love short waist coats being used by Rang Ja. You can use
a plain block colour to add a pop of colour to your white kurti or use embellished
jackets.
Scarf it up
If the jacket is not for you, you can add a dab of colour
and a heavy dose of tradition to your look buy accessorizing with colourful
scarves, depending on the colour combination of your gharara. Here are some of
the scarves we love:

If you are going ethnic, then give it your best by sporting
some traditional khussas. How about
completing your old-school look with one of these beauties!
