This suit is very popular apparel of suiting and it gives you the feel of being Indian and if you and being a true Indian you would also remember all our freedom fighters.
Nehru suit is a dual edged suit which can be worn for both professional as well as social events. It has a hip length coat with a unique collar that is a mandarin or a raised up collar unlike the normal turnover or the flat collars. It is a known fact that this suit was worn by the first Prime minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru between the years 1947 to the year 1964, thus it has acquired its name because of this fact. The Nehru suit has been designed taking its inspiration from the South Asian achkan or the sherwani. The difference which exists between the sherwani and the Nehru suit is that sherwani has a length which reaches till the knee while on the other hand the Nehru suit has a length which is similar to the normal suits like the Tuxedo. One of the main reason for which the Nehru suits have gained popularity is because of the fact that many designers have started included this classic piece of clothing into their marvelous collection.
For those of you who are interested in knowing the history of this great apparel, the suit was created in India in the early forties under a Hindi name “Band Gale ka coat” which means coat with a closed neck. It gained popularity since the time it was designed and tailored. As the suit had gained loads of popularity as it was being used by the famous Jawaharlal Nehru, it had been marketed in the subcontinent of Europe under the name of Nehru jacket in the early sixties. The suit gained popularity in the late sixties and early seventies. The Beatles also added wings to contribute to the popularity of the finely designed suit. There is no reason that the suit would not have gained popularity as it is a brilliant article of clothing. The leather jackets have a powerful styling statement and they are very easily noticed. The Jackets are more similar to the formal Jodhpuri fashion statement. The pants are much similar to the formal suit pants which can either be single pleated, double pleated or the one without any pleats that is a straight cut pant.
