Nehru jackets for men at affordable prices

Lifestyle September 13, 2019

Some call them Nehru jackets, some prefer the term bandhgalas, and now there are those who prefer the name Modi jacket.

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”.

Here are some we found promising all under ₹1,500.
