Afghan Burqa

December 22, 2010

The most controversial Afghan clothing is the Burqa. This is the type of clothing that covers women from the eyes of men. This is not native Afghan clothing. This type of clothing came to Afghanistan from India.

Afghan women in villages use regular Afghani clothing and a shawl to cover their heads. Afghan women’s clothing is a colorful hand-made composition. Men’s clothing consists of a shirt, pants and a vest made of craft strings and hand sewn.

There are over a dozen different Afghani clothing types for different ethnic groups and geographic areas. All of these clothes together compose the overall Afghan clothing culture.
