Sherwani is a long coat-like attire usually worn in India, which is very similar to an Achkan . It is worn over the Kurta and Churidar or sometimes with salwaar. Although Sherwani and achkan are similiar in many ways,they can be differentiated from achkan in the way that Sherwaniis made from heavier fabrics and it has linings.
The history of Sherwani dates back to the British Era in the 18th century, when the English incorporated British Frock Coat with Salwaar Kameez.It was later taken in by the indian Aristocrats,mostly the Mughals as their daily attire and consequently by the general public.The Sherwani is frquently associated with our first Prime Minister,Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru who sported the attire on a regular basis.
Today Sherwani is worn mainly by people descending from the Northern India but is catching up rapidly, not only throughout the country but also across the globe with top designers incorporating Indian elements,the latest of which is the Sherwani.
The latest in Sherwani fashion was seen when Ranbir Kapoor walked the ramp for fashion designer Rohit Bal at the Wills India Fashion Week Finale.The actor sported an ivory Sherwani with churidar which was a scene to watch.Ranbir Kapoor looked stunningly handsome.
Intricately designed Sherwani epitomises opulence and grandeur in every way.However avoid looking clumsy by finding a good tailor and getting yourself a well fitted sherwani.You will be then sure of catching glimpses of people looking at you twice !
