Sirwal

The sirwal, saroual, seroual, sarouel or serouel (Persian:شلوار‎‎ šalvār; Arabic:سروال‎ sirwāl; Turkish:şalvar, Urdu:شلوار‎), also known as punjabi pants and in some contexts as (a subtype of) Harem pants, are a form of baggy trousers predating the Christian era. They are typically worn in Muslim countries, but also extensively in the Greek countryside (and other places in the Balkans that were influenced by Ottoman Turks) prior to World War II. The trousers are not originally an Arab garment but were introduced from Persia to Muslim countries. The sirwal is also worn by other communities in North India.
