Pathani suit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pathani Suit is an ethnic outfit for men in the South Asian culture. It is a dress similar to Salwar kameez. It comprises three garments Kurta (along with tunic), Salwaar (a loosely gathered trouser), and a vest (a waistcoat), which is optional. Pathani suit is popular among men as formal wear and worn on special occasions such as marriages and festivals.[1][2][3] It is also called Khan suit[4] and Pashtun suit.[5][6]
The Pathani suit has evolved from a traditional Pashtun dress 'Perahan tunban' or ‘partoog kameez’. Perhan or kameez is similar to the Kurta, a top garment, and Tunban or partoog is a lower garment.[5]
