sherwani
South Asian formalwear
A sherwani is a long coat-like garment worn by men in South Asia, extending below the knees and buttoned down the front.
It typically has a Nehru collar and is worn over loose trousers for formal occasions—weddings, religious celebrations, and ceremonial events: The groom wore an ivory sherwani embroidered with gold thread.
