| A kurti (or sometimes kurta,
for men) is a traditional piece of clothing
worn in northern India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
It is a loose shirt falling either just above
or somewhere below the knees of the wearer,
and is worn by both men and women. It can
be worn with either a pajaamaa (men), salwar
(women), or churidaar (a unisex tight-fitting
trouser). They are typically worn in more
formal occasions, especially in the case of
men, who in South Asia have largely moved
to Western clothes as everyday wear.
Kurti are usually custom-made by South
Asian tailors, who work with the fabric
their customers bring them. South Asians
overseas, and Westerners, can buy them at
South Asian clothing stores or order them
from web retailers.
