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 aristocracy of the Indian subcontinent. It is worn over a kurta with the combination of either churidar, dhoti, pajama, or a salwar as a 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.
