Khet

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

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]

The khet partug is different from the perahan tunban (Persian: پیراهن و تنبان‎ pērāhan wa tunbān).
