What is a men's kurta pajama?

A kurta pajama is a traditional South Asian outfit made of two parts: the kurta, a collarless tunic that falls from the hip to the knee, and the pajama, loose or fitted drawstring trousers worn underneath.

It is the go-to outfit for Nepali and Indian men in Australia for weddings, festivals and puja. Many of our kurtas can also be worn on their own with jeans or chinos.

Both are correct. Pajama is the common spelling in India and Nepal, while pyjama is the British and Australian spelling. They mean the same outfit.
