The sharara set has revolutionized Indian fashion, blending the drama of a lehenga with the comfort of a trouser. It’s the perfect outfit for festive celebrations, from Mehendi functions to grand weddings. However, achieving that flawless look comes down to a simple secret: choosing a sharara suit that is perfectly matched to your body’s unique silhouette.

Here is Aachho’s definitive guide on how to choose the perfect sharara set for every body type, ensuring you find a piece that celebrates your shape.

1. Sharara Suits for the Pear Body Type (Bottom-Heavy)

The pear shape is defined by wider hips and thighs compared to a narrower bust and shoulders. The styling goal is to balance the outfit by emphasizing your upper body.

Opt for Shorter Kurtas: A kurta that ends at the hip or slightly above helps to visually break the line and draw attention away from the hips.
Necklines are Key: Choose styles with intricate work, heavy embroidery, or unique necklines to keep the focus upward. Look for pieces similar to our Anya Gotapatti Sharara Set, which features rich detailing on the kurta.

Sharara Volume: Select sharara pants with a moderate or gentle flare. Avoid excessive gathering or stiff fabrics in the bottom half; soft crepes and lightweight cottons are best.

2. Sharara Suits for the Apple Body Type (Top-Heavy)

The apple shape typically carries weight around the midriff, with a fuller bust and relatively slimmer legs. The best approach is to elongate the torso and create a vertical, smoothing flow.

Go Long and Flowy: A longer kurta that extends well below the hip or even calf-length is your ideal choice. An A-line cut or an Anarkali-style sharara set works wonders as it gracefully glides over the midsection.
Elongating Necklines: V-necks or deep scoop necks draw the eye downwards, creating a vital vertical line.
Sharara Flare: Since your legs are a strong point, you can easily pull off a voluminous, wide-flared sharara. The flare adds balance and drama, perfectly complementing a longer kurta.
Fabric and Prints: Look for luxurious georgette or muslin fabrics, as seen in the stunning Candra Chanderi Sharara Set, which drapes without clinging to the body.

3. Sharara Suits for the Hourglass Body Type (Proportional)

With a well-defined waist and bust and hips that are balanced, the hourglass figure is naturally proportioned. Your objective is to highlight and celebrate the natural waistline.

Fitted Silhouettes: Opt for kurtas that are well-fitted through the bust and gently cinch at the waist. Styles that incorporate a belt or defined waist stitching are highly flattering.
Peplum or Jacket Styles: A peplum kurta or a cropped jacket-style kurta sitting right at the waist will put emphasis on your smallest part.
Fabric Choice: Fluid fabrics like silk, rayon, or soft satin work perfectly. Consider an elegant choice like the Raas White Embroidered Chanderi Sharara set which uses Chanderi to provide structure while maintaining a graceful drape.

4. Sharara Suits for the Rectangle or Athletic Body Type (Straight)

This shape is typically straight and lean, with minimal difference between the bust, waist, and hips. The key to styling is introducing volume and defining curves.

Creating Curves: Choose kurtas with structural volume, such as an exaggerated peplum or a layered, tiered kurta. Ruffles or heavy embroidery on the bust (yoke) will create the illusion of fullness.
Embrace the Flare: Maximize the flare and volume of the sharara pants. Look for tiered sharara sets in stiff-yet-comfortable fabrics like thick cotton or chanderi to hold the shape.
Bold Prints: Choose bold, all-over prints or contrasting patterns. The Secret Garden Handblock Gota Sharara Set is an excellent example of a printed style that adds dimension to a lean frame.
