tajals

Tajals are a type of traditional garment worn in parts of South Asia, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They are typically loose-fitting, long shirts or tunics, often reaching to the knees or even the ankles. Tajals are commonly made from cotton or linen fabrics, though silk and other materials are also used. The design can vary, with some being simple and plain while others are elaborately embroidered. Embroidery often features intricate patterns and vibrant colors, sometimes adorning the neckline, sleeves, and hem. Tajals are usually worn by women, though similar garments may be found in men's traditional attire. They are often paired with trousers or leggings and can be worn as everyday clothing or for special occasions, depending on their ornamentation. The specific style and embellishments of a tajal can reflect regional cultural influences and personal preferences. Their loose fit makes them suitable for warm climates.
