Traditional Afghan dress for girls

This is a traditional Afghan dress for women—a highly elaborate and striking outfit worn at events such as the henna night, a celebration held prior to the wedding. It is typically worn by the bride and her close female relatives, who often perform traditional dances while wearing it. Although primarily associated with people from Afghanistan, Afghan women living all over the world undoubtedly own such dresses. To enhance the look, women accessorize the dress with ornate and eye-catching pieces, such as chunky necklaces, bracelets that match the dress's color, large dangling earrings, and striking headpieces. As for traditional Afghan attire for men, the outfit consists of a long, shirt-like top and *shalwar* (loose-fitting trousers). Men wear this outfit not only at henna ceremonies but also in daily life, as it is a common style of everyday clothing in Afghanistan.
