Sindh: Traditional clothing
For men, traditional attire includes a long, loose-fitting tunic known as a "kurta" or "kameez," often paired with "shalwar" (loose trousers) and a traditional cap called a "Sindhi topi" or "Ajrak topi."
The Ajrak topi is particularly iconic, often adorned with intricate embroidery or mirror work.
Women in Sindh typically wear a long, flowing tunic called a "kameez" or "cholo," paired with "shalwar" (loose trousers), "lehenga" (skirt), or "choori daar pajama" (tapered trousers). They often adorn themselves with vibrant scarves known as "dupattas," which can be draped over the head or shoulders.
The traditional attire is often embellished with intricate embroidery, mirror work, and embellishments, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Sindhi people. Additionally, the "Ajrak," a unique block-printed fabric with geometric patterns and earthy colors, holds significant cultural importance and is often incorporated into clothing and accessories in Sindh.
