Sherwanis: A reflection of cultural heritage

Sherwanis have an affluent past that spans generations, making them a must-have in any Indian wardrobe. Its rich history can be traced back to the Mughal Era when it was favoured by Persians and Turks in the Delhi Sultanate. Over time, it evolved into the more fitted and decorated ensembles that we see today, thanks in part to the patronage of the arts by Shah Jahan.
