Qamis, kurta, tunic, abaya, jalaba...whatever you want to call it. The basic principle behind this is that it's a long, loose shirt that comes down to at least mid-thigh. Then you have the lungi/sarong/izar/futa. Both articles of clothing, if worn correctly, cover the satr well, and don't reveal the shape of the body. If you look at most traditional clothing around the civilized world, the idea is pretty much the same. Even Europeans wore something similar from the time of the ancient Greeks up until a couple hundred years ago.
Modern pants/trousers, however, usually reveal the shape of the body, especially when a person is doing ruku or sujud (unless we're talking about sweatpants or baggy jeans). I honestly don't know how and why the modern Europeans came up with such uncomfortable attire- tight pants with shirt tucked in and a heavy coat and tie even in hot weather. Ajeeb.
