ABOUT SHERWANI CULTURE:

Sherwani (Urdu: شیروانی‎; Hindi: शेरवानी) is a long coat-like garment worn in South Asia, very similar to an Achkan ordoublet. It is notably known as Pakistan's national dress^[1] and was traditionally associated with the Muslim aristocracy of the northern Indian subcontinent. The Rajput aristocracy had subsequently adopted it. It is worn over the Kurta and Churidar,Khara pajama, a shalwar. It can be distinguished from theachkan by the fact that it is often made from heavier suiting fabrics, and by the presence of a lining. Sherwani originated as a fusion of the Shalwar Kameez with the British frock coat.
