Sherwani Sherwani is an Indian coat customised with structured tailoring featuring a long length and full sleeves. Buttoned down the front, it falls below the knees, featuring a closed stand collar. The sherwani evolved in India in the 19th century. Sherwani is a popular ensemble in India for weddings and festive events. The sherwani signifies dignity and noble etiquette, carrying a regal feel. It is generally paired with a churidar or dhoti as the lower garment. The name Sherwani is derived from Shirvan or Sherwan, a region of Azerbaijan where the folk dress resembles a sherwani. Its link with the Turco-Persian favoring during the Middle Ages gave it a Mughalised inspiration and form. Its longer length and opulence result from the Mughals giving the Indian Achkan a Westernised style. Originally related to the Muslim aristocracy during British rule, it was the European-style court dress for Mughal nobles and royals of Northern India. It gained more popularity during the late 19th century. The sherwani was first made in Lucknow during the 1820s, after which the royals and aristocrats of the Indian subcontinent adopted the ensemble and made it famous amongst the common population. Several politicians and governors have also patronised the sherwani and continue to do so.
