Men s Dress The men also wear the Pirahan, Shalvar, and Jameh combination, often with a wide belt called Kamarband , from which English gets the word cummerbund . As with the Pirahan Shalvar for women, there are a variety of cuts and lengths to these articles of clothing for men as well. Headdresses are also worn by men in traditional wear, known as the Sarband . The Persian style of Sarband is often wrapped with one end folded in a fan shape at the top of the head, with a trailing piece of clothing which is thrown over the shoulder.
