Sirwal, also saroual,1 seroual, sarouel or serouel3 (Arabic: سِرْوَال (sirwāl); Persian: شلوار (šalvâr); Kurdish: شهواڵ (shawal); Urdu: شلوار (shalwâr); Turkish: şalvar; Kazakh: шалбар (şalbar); Bengali: সালোয়ার (shalwar)), 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.
While a potur (Ottoman پوتور) was mainly in the Ottoman Empire a Slav converted to Islam, who still preferred to wear his peasant white linen trousers (in contrast to the usual Ottoman trousers). The name Potur was usually used by simple farmers or settlers. It comes from the Turkish and designates a slack pleated trousers (turkish potur; poturlu, someone wearing flaccid pants). Compare them to harem pants with a mixture of front pleat trousers when worn by men. But apparently both sexes could wear them in public without issue.
