I am not beig on Pakistani clothes, as menswear “fashion” is pretty stagnant which is fine. I was wondering in buying some Sherwanis because my older ones don’t exactly fit me (Not that I have bloated up or anything). Is there a good way of going about getting one? My problem is that I have an idea of what I want and I don’t think that the desi clothing stores carry them. Does anyone know if theres a way of getting them custom made?
Also, I was wondering if Sherwani is strictly “Pakistani” because I have ran into more Indian websites carrying them. Any help would be appreciated

Is there really a difference between Pakistani, Indian, Afghan "kurta shalwar" or "sherwani"?

Kurta: its long shirt with no cuffs with seleves and straight from bottom. no collar but a strip or no collar at all.
Kameez: long shirt with cuffs and collar like a normal shirt. bottom of kameez is round!
Shalwar: shalwar is male very large trouser!
Sherwani: sherwani is long coat like thing, but collars are different a round nech tight strip like collars. mostly wear on top of shalwar kamez in official meetings, or a fancy version for weddings and functions.
In my opinion, men in sherwanis look great. Try visiting some related websites or go through Pakistani fashion magazines like Libaas and Visage that can guide you on how to go about getting such mens' fashions tailored to your specifications. Best of luck! :maulvidis
