I loved you in secret

First sight, yeah, we love without reason

Oh, twenty-five years old

Oh, how were you to know, and

My, love had been frozen

Deep blue, but you painted me golden

Oh, and you held me close

Oh, how was I to know that

- (Dancing With Our Hands Tied) Taylor Swift

/---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---/

Tony looked around at the party exiting the lab. The Ultron project was complete. JARVIS was now analyzing the AI while keeping an eye on it, and he had successfully convinced Bruce to be a part of it. He needed his help, and extra hands in his lab never hurt.

Now, it was time to party.

He had debated having the party downtown in some fancy hotel but what better place to get wasted than your newly renovated penthouse? He buttoned up his blazer and stepped into the crowd of guests. This brought back memories of college, sneaking out and getting wasted with people he had never met before. Maybe if he was lucky tonight, he'd get to poke at Steve and have a jolly time with Rodney.

But he froze on the stairs looking at the flashes of a familiar emerald-colored fabric in the crowd.

"Stark! There you are!" If it wasn't for Clint slapping his back, he would have walked up to her then and there, and the ruse would be up.

"I… was in the stuff, doing the lab." He babbled, trying his best not to sound obvious. Even though he could be the unafraid playboy billionaire for the entire world, she made him lose his shit. In simple words, she drove him crazy.

Clint made a disgusting face and gestured to him to come along. "You gotta meet Dr. Malik! She's Dr. Cho's colleague. She talked about some crazy biotechnology that I have no idea about but I just know you would love it so…"

He zoned out of what Clint was saying. His entire focus was on her, the smell of jasmine invading his senses.

She was talking to Natasha and Bruce, both listening to her with rapt attention. He stood just behind her, looking at her back. Her long hair was loose, falling on her back and shoulders, and the loose end of her saree - the same one he bought her - was gracefully tucked on her shoulder, the pleats perfectly symmetrical.

"...and Dr. Cho has been kind enough to let me be a part of her latest research, based in New York." Her sweet voice was what brought him out of his trance. He couldn't believe she was here. "We are working on repairing skin cells for burn victims, a sort of regenerative process that will allow the skin to heal itself without surgery."

"Dr. Malik, I see you haven't met our host." Tony's heart did a somersault at Clint's words, panic written all over his face.

Well, this is really happening.

She turned around fully, facing him and Clint.

No matter how many times he saw her in that damn green saree with the stupid black blouse that blurred the line between decent and sensual. His mind would go blank.

And she had red lipstick on.

She was trying to give him a heart attack.

"Ah, Mister Stark. The Iron Man himself." She gave him a blinding smile, the one she had practiced and prepared for the public.

He realized she was in on it. She was fine with it.

And the ruse continues.

"Just Tony for you, Dr..." He extends his hand and she shakes it as she steps towards him.

"Zara. Zara Malik."

Tony had to fight every fiber of his being not to hold her closer. As if he was meeting her for the first time, he had to play the role.

Don't be a fool, Tony. Let's stay professional.

It was a far cry from their first meeting.

2 years ago, Mexico

Tony took a breath of relief and looked around him, smiling.

He had always made sure to give a fair share of donations to people in need. Currently, he was standing inside Stark Industries' first free medical center for orphaned children and LGBTQIA+ youth in Mexico. His mother's old friend, Miss Herrera, was willing to take over the project and assist the research students at her alma mater. And Tony was glad to help.

He heard laughter coming from the end of the hallway. Happy was close behind as he opened the doors and entered the room.

Inside was a huge room with at least twenty beds, all empty. In the middle of the room, there was a group of kids, teenagers, and even some adults hovering around a woman wearing her lab coat. Her head was buried in her notebook.

In front of her sat a kid, no older than 15, and another woman stood next to her. This woman would later become known as Dr. Helen Cho. She was rapidly speaking numbers.

His eyebrows shot up as he realized that it was a contest.

"...plus fourteen divided by six, and the entirety multiplied by Nineteen. Go!"

Both the woman and the kid scribbled like crazy in their notebooks and seconds later the kid screamed, "249!"

"It's correct." The woman spoke up, and cheers erupted all around them.

"Oh come on!" The woman competing threw up her hands, but you could hardly guess she was even upset about losing, as a huge grin was plastered on her face.

That was when she turned to him, and Tony saw Zara for the first time.

But she wasn't the only one to notice him, as the entire army of kids and teens ran to him, looking at the legendary Iron Man.

After what felt like hours of answering their endless questions, he finally got to talk to Cho and Zara.

Cho jumped on the opportunity to tell him about the research they had been doing and volunteering for the kids in their free time. She couldn’t control her excitement about meeting the legendary man behind the iron mask. Zara, on the other hand, was calm and steady. She had a pleasant face. She answered some questions for him and spoke where Cho stumbled, but otherwise remained silent. Tony admits he didn’t fall for her at that moment.

He did when she asked him out on a date.

He was 38. She was 25.

His first reaction was, “I’m sorry, what?”

She smiled, fidgeting with her hands. “I’m sorry if I’m overstepping, but I would love to grab dinner with you sometime.”

Happy’s jaw was hanging open. And Tony was flabbergasted.

“I… Uh… I would love to, Zara Mali- Zara. Zara. Can I call you Zara?” He blinked.

She blushed, “sure, Mr. Stark.”

“Please, it’s Tony. And yeah, sure, I'll see you tomorrow night?” He smiled, fumbling with his hands as he backed out of the room, almost colliding with Happy in the process. However, he somehow made it to the elevator.

“Holy shit.” he breathed out. Happy handed him a napkin.

It was then that he realized he was sweating, his heart racing. It was the first time in a long time someone asked him out, not the other way around. He was so used to asking people out that he had completely forgotten what it felt like to be on the other end.

It felt nice.

Zara felt overwhelmed, being around people she had heard about so much that she knew like old friends. Tony would never shut up about his teammates, the latest updates that he did on their weapons and suits, and their habits that annoyed him.

Oh, Tony.

Zara knew Tony was scared for her after what happened with Pepper. After Killian's fiasco, they remained friends, but Zara understood that a part of Tony would always love Pepper. She was his first love. They had mutually agreed to keep their relationship a secret. JARVIS and Happy were the only ones who knew about her, and Rodney found out after accidentally waking in on one of their intense ‘love-making’ sessions.

He was standing right next to her, in the charcoal suit she helped pick up. It felt weird to talk to him as she had never known him at all. It hurt him too.

His face was expressionless as he slowly sipped his champagne. He looked at her occasionally but averted his eyes as soon as someone else noticed.

Bruce spoke to her after the group had scattered to find a refill for their drinks. "I would love to hear more about this project Dr. Malik. This is promising work."

"You flatter me Dr. Banner" She spoke, “but of course, you are welcome to Seoul anytime you wish.” He smiled and strode ahead to Natasha, who was now behind the bar having a chat with Thor.

“Zara.” she smiled as she turned to Tony, “a heads up would have been great, I almost died watching you here.”

She grimaced apologetically, “Cho practically dragged me here. I denied but she was dead set on taking me as her plus one, and I tried to call you so many times today that you didn’t pick up. I’m sorry Tony I-”

He nodded with a gentle expression on his face. “I was in the lab the entire day. My phone was off. And I should be the one who is sorry. I know how horrible you must be feeling right now. I just," huffed out a laugh, “I really want to climb up this building and scream at the top of my lungs how much I love you.”

Zara tilted her head as she gazed at him. “I love you, Tony.”

“I love you too,” he smiled and raised his brows at her saree, stepped closer, and said in a low whisper, “and I can’t wait to take this off tonight.”

Her lips parted in surprise as he stepped away smirking.

“Is he bothering you?”

She jumped as she heard Rodney’s voice coming from behind her.

“holy shit, you scared me.” she laughed, and Rodney laughed along with her.

“It’s been a while,” he says, smirking, and flashes of how they met the first time involuntarily invade her mind.

She grimaced, closing her eyes, “uh, yeah, the last time we met wasn’t exactly the most ideal situation to have a chat. But nice to see you, Rhodes.”

“Chill, it’s fine. I didn’t know you had taken it public or I would have-”

“No!” she stops him before he says anything further, “uh, I’m here by coincidence. We’re still under wraps. I just want Tony to feel comfortable talking to people when he wants to.”

“Well, he’s been a bit off for a few days. Just keep close to him.”

“Will do.”

“Hey, we’re having an after-party. Cho's been invited by Thor. Wanna join?” he asks, sipping his scotch.

“Why not!”

“cool, see you around.” Rodney smiles and joins Tony at the bar.

She pulls out her phone to contact Jarvis, a desperate attempt to let Tony know she will be here longer, but she couldn’t. She tries again, but Jarvis seems unresponsive.

Tony might have put him on some sort of update.

She doesn’t think twice about it, instead opting to have a drink to calm her nerves.

All while being unaware of the fact that just meters above their heads, the AI was fighting for his life against something that would change everything.

I could've spent forever with your hands in my pockets

Picture of your face in an invisible locket

You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it

I had a bad feeling

and darling, you had turned my bed into a sacred oasis

People started talking, putting us through our paces

I knew there was no one in the world who could take it

I had a bad feeling

/---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---/

One month ago, in Seoul, South Korea

"You seem tense.” Zara hummed as she caressed his chest, right where his arc reactor used to be. She scooted closer, her warm body pressing against his, as she laid her head on his shoulder.

“Thinking about this new hydra base we are attacking next week,” he replied, playing with her hair. He enjoyed doing that a lot. He would braid it sometimes, or he would just run his fingers through it. They were always so soft, and they smelled really pleasant. He smiled as he remembered once begging her to tell him how she had such crazy volume. She just shrugged and said it was genetics.

“I’m scared,” she mumbles.

“Hey,” he turns his head to her, taking her face in his hand, “I’ll be fine.” he smiles.

“I know, it’s just,” she props up on her elbow, hovering over him, “you have this thing about saving others before yourself. You think about everyone before you,” she brushes a strand of his hair. “I want you to promise me something.”

"Anything, Z," he replied.

"You'll come back. Okay, you will come back to me no matter what.” She looks at him with such concern that it breaks his heart.

“I promise, Z, I will.” he squeezes her hand.

She breathes out, “And I know you survived a wormhole in space and a psychotic Norse God but you have to do this, for me.” she smiles, a strand of her hair falling on her face.

Tony tackles her on her back, kissing her fiercely, grabbing her waist to press her tightly against him.

He can’t lose her. He won’t lose her.

But we were dancing

Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied

Yeah, we were dancing

Like it was the first time, first time

Yeah, we were dancing

Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied

Yeah, we were dancing

And I had a bad feeling

But we were dancing

/---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---/

The after-party

"Are you even pulling?”

“Are you on my team?”

"Just represent! Pull!”

Zara couldn’t help but laugh as she witnessed Tony and Rodney trying to lift Mjolnir. Truthfully, it was a desperate attempt with their suit gauntlets that were almost smoking.

The champagne in their systems did not help at all. They gave up, at last, Rodney punching Tony's arm for being dragged into this mess.

And this time, instead of taking his seat, he plopped down next to her.

He rested his head on the backrest of the couch, pouting. “It’s rigged," he said.

“It’s magic,” she replied.

“Point Break is cheating.”

She laughed out loud, “no, he’s not”

As she reclines in her seat, she looks at him through hooded eyes. Her head was fuzzy even after just two drinks, and he was so close, with his tie loose, his sleeves rolled up, smiling at her. A kiss to drive him senseless was all she could think of.

He raised his hand, swaying his palm in front of her. “Dance with me?”

She took a sharp breath, watching from the corner of her eye how Clint nudged Maria to look at them.

“Are you sure?” she asked, raising her brows.

“C’mon,” he smiled, blinking at her like she was the only one in the room.

She placed her hand on his, and he pulled her to the clear space behind the couch they were sitting on.

And the speakers blasted Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield.

Zara laughed out loud as Tony shimmied his shoulders to the beat. She heard a hoot and saw others joining in. Bruce and Natasha danced as a couple, and Steve somehow joined Clint and Maria in a conga line.

She felt strong arms grab her waist and pull her forward, meeting her chest with Tony. Zara grabbed his shoulders as they swayed to the music. He bopped his head as he held her arm and swayed her to the music, spinning her and holding her close.

Zara could see Natasha eyeing them suspiciously, but she didn’t care anymore. Her boyfriend smiled lovingly at her as she looked into his eyes. His cheeks were pink.

Was he blushing?

She was lost in his eyes, the feel of his hands on her waist, and the way his breath fanned her face.

She almost missed the disembodied robot coming towards them.

It was only when she heard its chilling distorted voice and felt Tony tensed up that she realized this was not going to end well.

Tony's first instinct was to pull Zara behind him, and as soon as he realized JARVIS was gone, his grip on her hand tightened. Upon hearing his voice through the tiny speaker in its body, his mind kicked into overdrive.

So much for armor around the world.

He saw how Cap stood discreetly next to the wooden coffee table and how Thor grabbed the handle of Mjolnir.

He could feel the tension in the air as his teammates tried to buy some time before it rained down.

He had to get Zara out of here fast.

“What better way to cleanse the world than starting with the annihilation of the Avengers? And as with the battle of New York, a few collaterals like Miss Zara won’t hurt anyone.”

Tony’s entire body turned cold as soon as he heard that.

Ultron hasn’t just killed JARVIS, he also absorbed his database, including the knowledge of Zara and what she is to him.

He had only a second to look at her blood-drained face when the walls collapsed, his own robots dead set on killing them all.

That’s when a lot of things happened all at once.

Steve kicked the table as two robots flew into it.

Thor began to thrash as many as he could.

Clint and Hill started shooting, while Natasha tried to save Bruce.

Tony pushed her harshly towards the grand piano and ran towards the nearest robot.

It was chaos all around her.

She tried crawling behind it, but she met a dead end. She turned around to see Steve crash into a glass wall. Her heart raced, her body kicking into survival mode. Her eyes scanned the room for a place to hide. Her eyes followed Thor as he blasted a robot with lightning, and for a split second, she saw it. The clearing under the staircase was obstructed by a pillar in front of it.

Adrenaline took over, and she dashed towards it with all her might.

It rained glass, something was on fire, and the smell of burning wood surrounded her, but her only focus was on her goal.

And she would have made it if it wasn’t for the torso of a robot flying right in front of her.

Its arm was raised and she met the glowing palm of its hand on her face.

Zara jumped to her right, behind the couch, and onto the broken shards of glass.

HYDRA base, Sokovia.

Tony overlooked the destruction unleashed in front of his eyes.

The Chitauri army invaded, setting the planet on fire.

The Avengers lay dead on the rocks. Steve’s shield was broken, Natasha's face was bleeding, and Bruce wasn’t breathing.

He staggered back, wondering for a second about how he ended up here when he was just standing near the scepter seconds ago. His mind begged him to see if it wasn’t real.

He felt something on his leg and he looked down.

He hoped he never did, for he saw Zara on his feet.

He fell to his knees as he held her lifeless frame, her eyes closed, her face covered in blood, and a glass shard prodding out of her chest.

He screamed, shook her, and begged for her to open her eyes but she just lay there.

Dead.

Tony found Zara staggering away from the glass around her. Her hair was caked in blood, and glass wounds covered her entire right arm. He immediately held her, helping her stand up. She groaned as she got up, glancing at her right arm to see it covered in blood. And then she looked at Tony.

She held his face in her palms. "Are you okay?” Her voice was dripping with worry.

He couldn’t stop the laugh that escaped his lips. “shouldn’t I be asking you that?” his fingers ghosted over her injured temple, and he swallowed hard, his heart racing as he realized how seriously hurt she was.

“Zara I-” he started as he got interrupted by Cho, “젠장 (shit; in Koren) Zara you’re bleeding!” Zara gave her a nod as Cho let out a sigh of relief.

She then looked at him, still shocked at what had happened, and froze.

Her eyes traveled between Zara and him, and the way they were holding each other.

She opened her mouth to say something but Steve's voice interrupted her.

“Stark,” Tony turned around to see Cap standing behind them, along with the rest of the Avengers. “Care to explain what the hell was that?"

“This is roomier than my first apartment.” Cho looked around the laundry room in Tony’s penthouse.

Tony had led her there with Cho, as the others were in the adjacent conference room. He had handed them a first aid kit and was now having a shouting match with his team. Their muffled shouts could be heard from inside.

Zara had gotten rid of her saree, was wearing one of Tony’s t-shirts she found in the folded laundry and was sitting on the toilet with its lid closed. Cho knelt in front of her, cleaning her wounds.

“So, you and Stark…” she asks, dabbing her wounds with a sterile cloth.

“Yep.” she breathes out, looking at her.

“You could have told me Z.” Cho pouts, “I thought you were getting catfished when you told me about your long-distance boyfriend from New York. Did he force you to not tell anyone?”

"Helen, come on!" Zara laughed. "We mutually decided not to disclose anyone. We were taking it slow. Plus, you saw what happens when it’s discovered I’m dating Tony.”

Cho smiles, continuing to clean her wounds. “He really loves you, you know, I can tell by the way he almost cried watching you hurt.”

Zara squeezes Cho’s shoulder. "We just wanted to keep it private. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you who he was.”

“Oh it’s alright, you told me the rest” Cho laughs, “like the fact that he’s the best sex you’ve ever had?” she smirks as she rolls off her bandage.

Zara bites her cheek, desperately trying not to smile.

“Oh god! He is?” Cho exclaimed.

“I’m not going to say it.”

“It’s written on your face.”

“Helen!”

“What? I’ve known you since sophomore year Z. I could sense the sexual tension between you while we were dancing and I knew something was up.”

Zara smiled, and Helen added, “I want a tub of ice cream, masks, and a girl's night. You're gonna start from the beginning and tell me everything about dating Tony Stark.”

“Yes ma’am” she mocks saluted her, and they burst into laughter, forgetting for a minute what was happening outside the doors.

Tony rubbed his temples after the team started to depart. His mind raced at the highest speed to figure out how to handle the situation. Bruce slapped his shoulder before walking away with Natasha. Tonight had taken a toll on everyone around him.

He had to figure out how ULTRON managed to kill JARVIS and infiltrate the internet. and then he had to wipe Zara out of his database before he becomes sentient.

AI or not, he was about to outsmart him. He made him after all.

“Tony.”

Her voice made him snap out of his trance, and he saw Zara standing next to him.

She was wearing one of his band shirts, and a pair of black sweats. The bandage on her head and the numerous cuts on her face and arms just motivated him further. She hugged him, her arms wrapping around his torso as she hid her face in the crook of his neck. He hugged her back, careful of the cuts.

“I have to return to Seoul and evacuate the labs. I’ll be back once it’s done.”

“Helen,” Zara was about to say something to her but she cut her off, “Zara, those people are under my supervision. I need to get them to safety.” she squeezed Zara’s hands, and then looked at Tony, “keep her safe.”

“Zara,” he retreated as he cupped her face, looking her in the eyes, “as much as it hurts me to say, you need to get out of here.”

“What?” her face contorted with confusion.

“He’s right.” Hill added as they turned towards her, typing furiously on her phone, “ULTRON knows who you are. And he will use you to get to stark, and the Avengers.”

He could feel her stiffen under his touch, Tony turned her face o look at him, “Z, look at me, hey,” he caressed her face, “It’s gonna be okay, Clint is gonna be with you. You’ll be completely safe at this place.”

“What about you?” she held onto his wrist, her eyes brimming with tears.

“I have to take care of this.”

“You’re going to fight this thing?” her lips trembled, and her grip tightened on his hands.

It physically hurt him to see her about to cry, “I made him, Zara. This is my responsibility.”

Zara gulped, looking at Clint from the corner of her eye, “You remember our promise?”

“Yeah.”

“If you die, stark, I’ll kill you.” tears fell from Zaras eyes, and Tony held on to her tightly, managing to give her a sad smile..

“I love you.” he said.

“I love you more.” She hugged him tightly, and just for a second, Tony fiddled with the idea of not letting her go.

“You’ve never been on a Quinjet?” Clint asked from the control panel of the Quinjet.

“Nope.” Zara answered with a wavered voice. It was her first time in the futuristic jet. She had listened in rapt attention about all the design advancements Tony had done on the jet one day while making breakfast. But it was less thrilling to go barelling through the sky in an aircraft known to be attacked mid air numerous times.

“It’s hard to believe Tony never took you on a joyride in this.”

She huffed out a laugh, “he tried, but I chickened out last minute.” Clint laughed out loud.

“So, where is this place?” Zara asked, clutching her body straps in a death grip.

“well,” Clint turned to her, the jet on autopilot, “Tony’s not the only one among the avengers with a secret relationship.” he smiled, confusing Zara even more.

He akes out a pack of UNO card game from his infinite pockets of his pants, “up for a game?”

I'd kiss you as the lights went out

Swaying as the room burned down

I'd hold you as the water rushes in

If I could dance with you again

/---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---//---/---/---/---/---/---/

10 Days Later

When Clint mentioned a secret relationship, Zara expected a girlfriend or a boyfriend. Not a wife who was a former SHIELD agent and two kids younger than her distant cousins, not to ignore the fact that Laura was pregnant with a third. Since she met Clint’s family, they had taken her in as one of their own. At first she tried to keep her distance, given the fact that just by staying at their home she was putting them in danger too. But Cooper and Lila wanted to know everything about her job at U-GIN. And when they found out she loved horror movies, she had turned into their favourite person.

It was a sunny afternoon, and Laura and she had decided to have a small picnic on their porch. “Dr. Malik look!” Lila jumped continuously until Zara turned to her. She excitedly handed her a drawing of a butterfly, overflowing with all sorts of vibrant colors.

“It’s beautiful! Thank you, Lila.” she says, smiling as she tucked the drawing neatly inside a file.

“Lila there’s a Resident Evil re run gong on hurry!” Cooper called from inside.

Lila stood up hastily, and ran away, “don’t start without me!”

“I’m sorry if they bother you too much.” Laura says, leaning on the armchair beside her. She was subconsciously rubbing her belly, baby Nat will be here any day now.

“No, no, I love kids. Got some little cousins back home who are always a delight.” she smiles. In the past days Laura has become somewhat like her elder sister. She kept her calm for the first few days when her nerves were all over the place, and she didn’t let her lift a finger and rest while she and the kids did all the heavy work around the house. She was almost 9 months in for crying out loud.

Just then she heard a distant rumbling. A jet engine.

“oh my god! they’re here!” Laura spoke up.

Zara got up from her seat, helping Laura to get up too.

The Avengers were successful in getting The Cradle from ULTRON, taking it back to Stark Tower and making Vision. They stopped an attack on Sokovia, Vision helping them determine what was about to happen with the help of the twins. ULTRON planned on making the city fly, and make a blast so powerful that it would have wiped out all the humans on earth in one go.

Thankfully nobody got hurt, and they stopped the attack before it happened, evacuating the city and killing ULTRON.

Clint told them everything the other day, telling them that he would return soon. When Zara asked about Tony, Clint said he was busy with all the legal stuff with the government that centered around ULTRON. He said he was sorry that he couldn’t talk to you, and also told them how he hasn’t slept in two days. She almost rolled her eyes if it weren’t for all the crying she had been doing with Laura listening to their story.

The Jet was nearing, and now even Cooper and Lila were out of the house. Before either one could stop them, they ran across the field towards the fence.

The Quinjet landed just outside the fence, and out came the Avengers.

Zara helped Laura down the steps, as Clint ran to his kids. She laughed with Laura when they tackled him to the ground. Natasha followed him, and she could see Steve, Thor and Bruce making their way awkwardly towards the family.

She halted on her steps when she saw the figure descending down the stairs of the jet.

He buttoned up his blazer, taking off his sunglasses and giving her the smug smile that stole her heart in the first place.

Zara didn’t realise she was running until she was halfway through the yard. but she sped up as Tony opened his arms, jumping right into them.

He picked her up, spinning her round, laughing through the tears of reunion. He set her down as she wiped her eyes, and his too.

“Told you I’ll come back to you.” he smiled at her softly, resting his forehead against hers. She breathed him in, caressing his face, careful of the small cuts scattered across his face.

“we got matching cuts.” she laughed, pointing to the scar on her temple, and to a somewhat similar cut on his head.

He laughed along with her, holding her close and kissing her forehead in return.

He was home.

Sharara Suit For Women Wedding

Sharara is another bottom style that is loved by every woman who loves to wear traditional clothing. It is also an essential wardrobe staple for every woman who loves dressings up for special occasions where one can flaunt their pretty traditional attires. But there are so many sharara styles to choose from and here are some of those sharara.

Sharara suits are highly popular among everyone and are the best to style for all functions. From haldi to reception you can rely on a Sharara suit. Some of my best ways to style a Sharara suit are:

1. A Saree-Like Look - Ditch your suit and wear a blouse with sharara

2. Heavy jewelry- You can style your sharara suit and pair it with jewelry for that extra look ( This looks best for a wedding)

3. Pop Makeup & colors - If you have a neutral/light color sharara suit you can try a colorful makeup

4. Cardigans /Jackets- A lot of people have started using Indian cardigans over sharara suits for that extra look

Gathered style– Light fabrics like chiffon and georgette are best to use for this style. If you want a sharara in these fabrics then it's best to go for a gathered style to give this silhouette a much-desired flare at the bottom.

Pleated style– If you have a medium-weight fabric then go for fine knife pleats to give the sharara a voluminous look. Fabric-like fine silk is perfect for this look.

Tiered style– If the simple style doesn’t fascinate you then do try the multi-layered or the tiered sharara style where the sharara is done in layers and is gathered at every layer.

Two-layered sharara– The bottom part of the sharara can also be done in two parts and its best to use eye-catchy embroidery here to make the silhouette look more beautiful.

Multi layered– One can add more layers to this silhouette like in the picture. Needless to say that this style looks beautiful while you walk, and in general too the layers add a modern touch to this traditional bottom style.

Salmon Pink Sharara Suit By Abhinav Mishra!

A Comprehensive Guide to India's Fashion Trends

India, a country known for its rich cultural heritage and vibrant traditions, has always been a hub of diverse and dynamic fashion. Over the years, the fashion industry in India has witnessed significant growth, merging traditional styles with modern trends. As India continues to embrace global influences, the nation’s fashion scene has evolved into a unique blend of the old and new, representing the changing tastes of its people. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore some of the latest fashion trends in India and delve into how these trends are shaping the industry. Keep reading as we highlight the X Trend India, a key focus in today’s fashion landscape.

The Revival of Traditional Wear in Modern Designs

One of the most prominent trends in Indian fashion is the revival of traditional attire. From sarees and lehengas to kurtas and salwar suits, designers are reimagining these classic garments with a contemporary twist. The X Trend India is all about celebrating the beauty of Indian culture by giving traditional wear a modern makeover.

Sarees with a Twist

Sarees are being revamped in various ways to appeal to the younger generation. Lightweight fabrics like chiffon and georgette are gaining popularity, while intricate designs such as hand-painted motifs or digital prints are making a statement. Additionally, pairing sarees with crop tops, jackets, or unconventional blouses is a growing trend.

Contemporary Lehengas

Lehengas are no longer limited to weddings and grand occasions. Fashion-forward individuals are now opting for simpler lehenga styles for festive gatherings, blending them with modern cuts and fabrics. Designers are incorporating unusual color palettes and mixing traditional embellishments with contemporary silhouettes.

Sustainable Fashion: A Growing Movement

Sustainability has become a buzzword in the global fashion industry, and India is no exception. The X Trend India embraces eco-friendly fashion, with designers and brands increasingly focusing on sustainability. Indian consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of their clothing choices, leading to a shift towards more sustainable fashion options.

Eco-friendly Fabrics

Organic cotton, khadi, bamboo fabric, and hemp are gaining popularity as alternatives to traditional fabrics. These eco-friendly materials are not only biodegradable but also promote ethical production processes. The rise of indigenous textiles like ikat, kalamkari, and handloom weaves is another part of the sustainable fashion movement in India.

Upcycling and Slow Fashion

With the focus on reducing waste, upcycling old clothes into new, fashionable pieces has become a significant trend. Brands and designers are encouraging slow fashion, where quality and durability are prioritized over mass production. This ensures that consumers get more wear out of each garment, contributing to less waste in the long run.

Fusion Wear: Blending Eastern and Western Styles

Fusion wear is one of the most exciting aspects of Indian fashion today. It involves the blending of traditional Indian garments with Western styles, creating a hybrid fashion trend that is both innovative and stylish. X Trend India emphasizes the importance of fusion wear, which appeals to both younger and older generations.

Indo-Western Gowns

Indo-Western gowns are a perfect example of how Indian designers are combining traditional elements with Western cuts. These gowns often feature intricate embroidery or embellishments inspired by Indian culture but are tailored in a more global style, making them a hit at events like cocktail parties and receptions.

Ethnic Jackets and Pants

Wearing ethnic jackets over Western outfits, such as jeans or trousers, is another rising trend. These jackets often come in bold prints or hand-embroidered patterns, adding a touch of Indian elegance to casual wear. Similarly, pairing traditional kurtas with leggings, jeggings, or even palazzo pants adds a contemporary flair to everyday ethnic wear.

Athleisure: Comfort Meets Style

In recent years, athleisure has gained immense popularity in India. The X Trend India has seen an increased demand for stylish yet comfortable clothing that can transition from the gym to the streets. This trend is especially popular among young professionals and college students who prioritize versatility and ease in their clothing choices.

Yoga Wear as Casual Wear

Given India’s reputation as the birthplace of yoga, it’s no surprise that yoga-inspired fashion is booming. Comfortable, breathable fabrics are key, with brands creating chic yoga wear that can easily double as casual outfits. This trend is further supported by the global wellness movement, where staying fit and healthy is a lifestyle choice.

Sports-Inspired Streetwear

Streetwear brands in India are also tapping into the athleisure trend by introducing sports-inspired designs. Tracksuits, joggers, and hoodies are now seen as everyday wear rather than just workout gear. Bold logos, graphic prints, and vibrant colors characterize this trend, creating an effortless yet fashionable look.

Minimalism: The Rise of Simple Elegance

In contrast to the traditionally ornate Indian fashion, there has been a growing trend towards minimalism. The X Trend India in minimalism is defined by clean lines, understated elegance, and a focus on craftsmanship over embellishments.

Monochrome Palettes

Minimalist fashion often embraces a monochrome color palette, with neutral shades like white, beige, and gray taking center stage. Simple, well-tailored outfits that exude sophistication without being too flashy are becoming increasingly popular, especially among working professionals.

Focus on Fabric and Fit

Rather than relying on heavy embroidery or embellishments, minimalist fashion puts the emphasis on high-quality fabrics and the perfect fit. Designers are using fine materials like linen, silk, and cotton to create sleek, elegant looks that are versatile and timeless.

Bold Prints and Colors: Embracing Vibrancy

While minimalism has its place, vibrant colors and bold prints are still a significant part of Indian fashion. The X Trend India celebrates the rich hues and intricate patterns that are synonymous with Indian culture, blending them with modern sensibilities.

Floral Prints

Floral prints are a perennial favorite in Indian fashion, and they’re making a big comeback. Whether it’s on sarees, dresses, or kurtas, floral designs add a touch of femininity and freshness to any outfit. Designers are experimenting with oversized floral motifs as well as delicate, intricate patterns.

Vibrant Colors

Bright colors like red, yellow, orange, and pink are dominating the fashion scene, especially in festive wear. These colors represent celebration and joy in Indian culture and are often paired with metallic accents or intricate embroidery to create stunning outfits for weddings and festivals.

The Influence of Bollywood on Fashion

Bollywood has always had a massive influence on India’s fashion trends. From iconic costumes in classic movies to modern-day red carpet looks, Bollywood celebrities play a crucial role in shaping the X Trend India. Fans look to their favorite actors for inspiration, often emulating their style choices.

Designer Collaborations

Many Bollywood celebrities collaborate with top designers to create exclusive collections. These collaborations often feature bold, fashion-forward looks that become instant hits with the public. Designer Manish Malhotra, for instance, is known for his glamorous creations often seen on Bollywood stars.

Celebrity Endorsements

Celebrities endorsing brands and fashion lines can significantly impact the popularity of certain trends. Whether it’s a specific type of saree, a trendy handbag, or a new athleisure brand, Bollywood stars help boost the visibility and desirability of these products in the Indian market.

Accessories: Elevating Every Outfit

Accessories are an essential part of Indian fashion, and the X Trend India sees a focus on bold, statement pieces that elevate any outfit. Whether traditional or modern, accessories can transform a simple look into something extraordinary.

Chunky Jewelry

Indian fashion has always embraced statement jewelry, and this trend continues today. Chunky necklaces, oversized earrings, and bold bangles are all popular choices. Jewelry with traditional motifs like peacocks, lotus flowers, or paisleys adds an extra touch of cultural significance.

Statement Footwear

Footwear in India is no longer just about comfort; it’s an essential element of the overall look. From embroidered juttis and kolhapuris to modern sneakers and wedges, the right pair of shoes can add a fashionable touch to any outfit.

Conclusion

India’s fashion trends are a testament to the country’s vibrant culture, its openness to innovation, and its deep-rooted traditions. The X Trend India showcases the dynamic nature of fashion in the country, highlighting how traditional elements are being modernized while global influences are being integrated. From sustainable fashion and fusion wear to athleisure and minimalism, the Indian fashion scene is more diverse and exciting than ever before. Whether you’re looking to stay on top of the latest trends or want to explore the beauty of Indian culture through fashion, there’s something for everyone in the world of Indian fashion.

The latest one-shot sneak peek

Dancing With Our Hands Tied

Pairings - Tony Stark X OC Zara Malik

Premise – Under circumstances, he could not control, Tony lost his parents, his mentor, and his best friend/former lover. Will he have to lose his love as well?

Word Count - No idea, I'm going absolutely blind on this one.

Warnings: None

I loved you in secret

First sight, yeah, we love without reason

Oh, twenty-five years old

Oh, how were you to know, and

My, love had been frozen

Deep blue, but you painted me golden

Oh, and you held me close

Oh, how was I to know that

- (Dancing With Our Hands Tied) Taylor Swift

Now, it was time to party.

But he froze on the stairs looking at the flashes of a familiar emerald-colored fabric in the crowd.

"Stark! There you are!" If it wasn't for Clint slapping his back, he would have walked up to her then and there, and the ruse would be up.

He zoned out of what Clint was saying. His entire focus was on his form nearing her, the smell of jasmine invading his senses.

"Dr. Malik, I see you haven't met our host." Tony's heart did a somersault at Clint's words, panic written all over his face.

Well, this is really happening.

She turned around fully, facing him and Clint.

No matter how many times he saw her in that damn green saree with the stupid black blouse that blurred the line between decent and sensual. His mind would go blank.

And she had red lipstick on.

She was trying to give him a heart attack.

"Ah, Mister Stark. The Iron Man himself." She gave him a blinding smile, the one she had practiced and prepared for the public.

He realized she was in on it. She was fine with it.

And the ruse continues.

"Just Tony for you, Dr..." He extends his hand and she shakes it as she steps towards him.

"Zara. Zara Malik."

Tony had to fight every fiber of his being not to hold her closer. As if he was meeting her for the first time, he had to play the role.

Don't be a fool, Tony. Let's stay professional.

It was a far cry from their first meeting.

Different Styles of Designer Sarees and Blouses for Women at ScrollnShops

The Classic Indian Saree is the traditional six-yard saree that consists of a Blouse and Saree. Women have been draping themselves in a saree depending on the region of their origin. The best part of a classic Indian saree is that it's truly versatile and can be styled anywhere, like pujas, charity events, family functions, festivals or work. For example, a Pure Cotton saree is one of the most popular sarees, renowned for its lightweight and breathable material as it is effortless and comfortable to wear. Without a silk saree, an Indian wedding would be incomplete. A silk saree showcases intricate designs and embellishments made by hand using diverse techniques, including handloom, hand painting, and hand embroidery. Banarasi saree is famous for its fine-quality silk fabric and gold and silver zari embroidery. A georgette saree or an organza saree drapes beautifully as it gives a nice fall to the saree, whether printed or embroidered.

Pre-draped sarees or Pre-stitched sarees have created hype and trends in the fashion world in recent times. Women love the concept of a pre-stitched saree, as they are easy to wear, hassle-free and give an excellent look. Pre-stitched sarees appear identical to traditional sarees. It is also known as a pre-draped saree, ready-made saree, or ready-to-wear saree. The pleats are already sewn, so you don’t need to worry about tucking and pleating. However, the pallu can be sewn for a pleated look or can be left as it is for an open look. The best part about a prestitched saree it that it doesn’t require a petticoat as it is already attached to the saree, depending on the saree fabric. Nowadays, ready-to-wear sarees have a slit at the bottom to bring out the style quotient in the sarees giving it a bold yet modern ethnic feel. A Designer Pre-drape Saree for Women at ScrollnShops offers an elegant and chic look preferred for occasions such as Sangeet, Reception, Cocktail, Engagement, Housewarming, and more or Festivals such as Diwali, Navratri and is a must-have in your wardrobe.

It consists of three pieces: a skirt, a blouse, and a drape or pallu is attached to the skirt or the lehenga. Ready-to-wear saree skirts with flowing frills, tiers, and fun draperies with meticulous embroidery offer a stunning appearance. It is a pretty deadly combination of traditional sarees and skirts with a modern touch to steal the show wherever you go. Saree skirt sets are a great choice for Sangeet, Mehendi, Wedding, Roka, Bridesmaids, or Karwa Chauth and more.

Fusion Saree or Concept Saree beautifully blends experimentations from different cultural fashions and styles of modern and ethnic elements. These fusion sarees are an amalgamation of a bottom such as Dhoti, Pant, Palazzo, Gharara, or Sharara with a stitched or detachable saree-pallu and a blouse to create a unique and versatile outfit. Concept sarees embody a Dress, Gown, Jumpsuit or Co-ord Set with an attached pallu or dupatta to adhere to the notion of a saree. Designers mix and match with different types of fabric, patterns, prints, and embroidery, offering them a distinctive and bold presence. Fusion sarees or concept sarees can be worn for Formal Events, Haldi, Cocktails, Party, Date Night, Get Togethers or Festive occasions.
