Jánáls

Jánáls are a type of traditional garment originating from the Indian subcontinent, particularly popular in regions like Punjab. The term "jánáls" refers to a specific style of loose-fitting trousers or shalwar, characterized by their wide legs and often gathered at the waist with a drawstring. They are typically made from lightweight and breathable fabrics such as cotton or linen, making them suitable for warm climates. Jánáls are designed for comfort and ease of movement, often worn by both men and women for everyday activities. Historically, they were a common garment for farmers and laborers due to their practicality. In contemporary fashion, jánáls have seen a resurgence, often incorporated into modern streetwear and designer collections, blending traditional aesthetics with current trends. Their versatility allows them to be paired with a variety of tops, from kurtis and tunics to t-shirts and blouses. The style can vary in width and drape, with some versions being more voluminous than others. The simple yet effective design of jánáls has contributed to their enduring popularity across generations and cultures.
