Sherwani is a long coat-like garment worn in South Asia, very similar to an Achkan or doublet. It is worn over the Kurta and Churidar, Khara pajama, a shalwar. It can be distinguished from the achkan by the fact that it is often made from heavier suiting fabrics, and by the presence of a lining.

In my personal opinion, men sherwanis should no be so showy and filled with embroidery. Sherwanis look better in subtle colours with light embroidery on the neck and on sleeves.
