As a chiefly rural and tribal population, the Pashtun dress of Afghanistan is typically made from light linens, and are loose-fitting for ease of movement.
Men's dress
[edit]
Pashtun men usually wear a Partūg-Kamees in Pashto (sometimes worn with a pakol or paṭkay). In the Kandahar region young men usually wear different type of hat similar to a topi and in the Peshawar region they wear white kufis instead. Leaders or tribal chiefs sometimes wear a karakul hat, such as Hamid Karzai, Nur Muhammad Taraki, Hafizullah Amin, Zahir Shah and others.[1] The Pashtun Lūngai (or Paṭkay) is the most worn one.[citation needed]
Women's dress
[edit]
Pashtun women traditionally wear a long tunic (kamiz) or full-skirted dress over loose-fitting trousers (partug) of a contrasting color, and a head covering.[2] Tunics often feature beaded or felt panels at the shoulder and the front of the bodice or waist sections. Shapes for casual and festive clothing are similar, as are shapes for winter and summer clothing, but colors and fabrics reflect the formality and seasonality of the garment.[3] Pashtun Kochi women wear a colorful 3-layer embroidered dress to protect them from the cold. A version more suitable for hotter climates also exists, the dress is no longer become exclusive to Kochi women and now oftentimes associated with Pashtun women in general.[4]
