Men also prefer Sherwani and vest along with the shalwar kameez. Kandahari or Jinnah cap is also commonly paired with a Sherwani or a shalwar kameez. A Sherwani is a long coat worn with a shalwar and is generally made from heavy fabrics. Peshawari Chappals and Khussa are the most preferred footwear among men. In regions where temperature is considerably cold, men opt for Pashmina or Shahtoosh shawls to keep them warm.

Shalwar kameez and lehenga are the traditional attire worn by women in Pakistan. While shalwar kameez is also worn as a daily wear, lehenga is a typical attire for ceremonies and special occasions. Interesting patterns woven with lace are used to add feminine element to the lehenga. Women also wear a dupatta with both shalwar kameez and lehenga. Dupattas are long yards of cloth; their colors and patterns are coordinated as per the entire ensemble. Women also wear scarves or shawls with the salwar kameez in the chilly winters.
