1992
The Nehru jacket is named after India's independence movement leader, Jawaharlal Nehru. However, this hip-length jacket was not invented by Nehru himself but was a traditional garment worn by Indian nobility. Nevertheless, Nehru's fondness for it earned it immense popularity to this day, particularly in South Asia. The Nehru jacket resembles a suit jacket with a standing collar instead of a folded collar commonly seen on suit jackets.
