Pheran () or Phiran is the traditional outfit for both males and females in the Kashmir Valley of Jammu and Kashmir, India.
The pheran consists of two gowns, one over the other. The traditional pheran extends to the feet, which was popular up to the late 19th century C.E. However, a relatively modern variation of the pheran extends to below the knees, which is worn with a suthan inside (loose form of shalwar) similar to the styles worn in Afghanistan.
