Khetpartug (Pashto: خت پړتوګ, khət paṛtūg) khat partoog, is a type of Pashtun clothing worn in Afghanistan.
Origin[edit]
Khetpartug originated in Afghanistan.
Design[edit]
Khet[edit]
The khet is the upper garment which is loose and slightly tightened at the waist and is more like a tunic or a robe, similar to a smock with wide sleeves and reach below the knees.[1][2] The khet does not traditionally have side slits,[3] and is worn with a belt at the waist.[4]
Partug[edit]
The partug is the lower garment which is very loose and full of pleats, with folds all around the waist and made of yards of material.[5] Khet partug is also similar to the costume worn by men dancing the attan.[6]
