Afghan Clothes

Afghan clothes are rich in cultural heritage and vary widely across regions, ethnic groups, and even occasions. Traditional Afghan clothing is known for its vibrant colors, elaborate embroidery, and use of natural materials like cotton and wool. Here's a general overview:

For Women:

  • Traditional Dress (Perahan Tunban or Firaq Partug): A long, flowing dress with wide sleeves, often paired with loose-fitting trousers. Dresses are usually decorated with intricate embroidery, mirror work, and beadwork.

  • Chador or Shawl: A large scarf or shawl draped over the head or shoulders, used for modesty and protection.

  • Jewelry and Accessories: Women often wear heavy, ornate jewelry, especially in rural areas—such as silver necklaces, headpieces, and bangles.
