Pashtun clothing

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.

Leaders or tribal chiefs sometimes wear a karakul hat, such as Hamid Karzai, Nur Muhammad Taraki, Hafizullah Amin, Zahir Shah and others.

[citation needed] 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.
