A type of high-collared, long coat or jacket, named after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister.
Named after Jawaharlal Nehru (1889-1964), who popularized wearing this style of coat as his signature garment, blending Indian and Western fashion traditions.
The Nehru jacket was India's answer to Western suits—Nehru wore it as a political statement that India could be modern without abandoning its cultural identity, and it became a global fashion moment.
