Churidhar

Churidars are a type of tight-fitting pants that originated in the Indian subcontinent and are worn by both men and women

Churidars are longer than the leg and narrow more quickly than salwar pants, which are wider at the top. The excess fabric gathers at the ankle and is secured with a button or closure. The word "churidar" comes from Hindi, where churi means "bangle" and dar means "like".

Churidars are a variant of the common shalwar pants. Shalwars are cut wide at the top and narrow at the ankle. Churidars narrow more quickly so that contours of the legs are revealed. They are usually cut on the bias, making them naturally stretchy, which is important when pants are closefitting.
