Sherwani

Sherwani (Hindi: शेरवानी; Urdu: شیروانی‎; Bengali: শেরওয়ানি) is a long coat-like garment worn in the Indian subcontinent, very similar to a British frock coat or a Polish żupan. It was traditionally associated with the Indian subcontinent. It is worn over a kurta with the combination of either a churidar, a dhoti, a pajama, or a salwar as the lower-body clothing. It can be distinguished from the achkan by the fact that it is shorter in length, is often made from heavier suiting fabrics, and by the presence of a lining.

The sherwani originated in the 19th century British India as the European style court dress of nobles and royals of the Mughal dynasty, before being more generally adopted in the late 19th century. It appeared as a fusion of the British frock coat and a kurta and pajama, first at Lucknow in 1820's. It was gradually adopted by rest of the Indian royalty and , and later by the general population, as a more evolved form of occasional traditional attire.
