Pashtun suits[edit]
As a chiefly rural and nomadic population, the Pashtun dress is typically made from light linens, and
the garments are loose fitting for ease of movement. The Pashtun dress includes local forms of the
shalwar kameez, which are differently made for males and females.
The traditional male dress includes the khet partug and perahan wa tunban. Males usually wear
a kufi, Peshawari cap, turban, or pakul as traditional headgear.
The traditional female dress is the firaq partūg. Women typically wear solid-coloured trousers, a
long kamīs shirt with a belt. Sometimes they wear an encompassing burqa over this outfit or
a tsādar on their head.[61]
