Let us take a look into the origin of Sherwani, when the Sherwani came into being. A Sherwani is a long coat-like garment which is traditionally worn by Indians. They are more or less similar in design as the British long coat. This coat is worn over kurta, paired with a churidar, a dhoti or even a salwar, depending on the style of the coat. A dupatta also comes with the ensemble but it is not mandatory. The Sherwani originated in 19th century British India and was the mostly associated with royals. The rulers, the Nawabs of the princely states mostly wore Sherwanis. With the passage of time, new styles evolved and now everywhere in India Sherwanis are worn by many people, typically during formal occasions.
