The similarity of the clothing of Baloch men with other geographical regions such as India is as a result of the power of the Iranian ancient dynasties.

It consists of two parts; one is upper body clothing and the other is a loose skirt reaching to the knee.

[16] The female Balochi suit consists of the head scarf, long dress and a shalwar(Pajamak).

Footwear: Baloch women use four types of shoes, namely Sawas, Mochi, Katuk and Takkul.

[18] Baloch women use a large scarf to cover their heads called a sareg.
