It seems the Mughals have put huge influence on the Indian dressing style. Empress Mumtaz Mahal, consort of Shah Jahan, was the epitome of beauty just like her mother-in law Nur Jehan. The beautiful Empress was well aware of her fashion sensibilities, that is evident from her numerous paintings that stand witness to her dressing sense. Her fashion sense was an inspiration to many. The empress was seen wearing a short-sleeved long or short jacket over her kurti or saree that she wore. While she wore it to maintain her modesty and sophistication, the jacket soon turned out to be a fashionable piece. These days, the #jacket is a hot number on the fashion runways.
