Call it what you will, the Nehru jacket has become a must have for most Indian men because its just so versatile. You can opt for a cotton or linen jacket for the summer or a heavier one for the winter. Team it with a kurta-pajama for a formal, ethnic look or just go casual with jeans and a shirt!
A nautical consultant based in Delhi Shishir Bhatnagar loves Nehru jackets for their convenience. He prefers darker shades like grey and brown.
Here Shishir shows us how he likes to cut a formal look in a Nehru jacket.
“They are good because they leave your arms free to push your wheelchair with. Formal suit jackets, blazers and coats are cumbersome for wheelchair users to put on. I use the Nehru jacket for occasions where a more formal look is required. Being sleeveless it also makes propelling my wheelchair easier”.
