Sharovary (Ukrainian:шаровари) are a kind of loose traditionalUkrainian men's pants. The trousers are fitted at the waist and ankles, and loose at the hips and legs. They may be accompanied by a wide silk belt.
Similar pants in other cultures aresirwal,salwar,shalwar kameez, etc., and these are often translated assharovary orshalvary in Russian and Ukrainian.
Sharovary are part of the stereotypical national clothes ofZaporozhian Cossacks.
Ukrainian Cossacks wearing sharovary, 1760sUkrainian Cossacks, de Bauplan, 17th century
The presence of sharovary in the dress of theZaporozhian Cossacks is noted by German ambassador Erich Lassota in the 16th century.[citation needed] A comprehensive description of Cossack dress is included in the 1651 book "Description d'Ukranie…" (Description of Ukraine...) by Polish-enlisted French-born cartographer and military engineerGuillaume Le Vasseur de Beauplan. Its translation mentions "sharovary", but narrow linen pants (d'un caleçó) were specified in the original instead.[1]
Today sharovary is an important element of theUkrainian culture. At the same time the word "sharovary" gave rise to the derogatory term "sharovarshchyna" for the pseudo-folk,kitsch steoretyping of the Ukrainian culture.
