Women
Obeying Islamic rules including Hijab or Islamic
dress-code is necessary in Iran. However these rules are
not observed very strict, especially for tourists and
foreigners. You must not worry about maintaining your
hijab , since in times you have forgotten about it, the
maximum penalty will be a request (usually in a kind way)
to make it correct.
There are some minimum requirements for foreign women
dress-code in public places :
|
|
|
1. |
Color :
It's a completely false belief that wearing must be dark
in Iran. There is no limitation in this respect and we
recommend you make sure using light colors in summer.
. |
|
|
2. |
Head :
Hair should be covered. It does not mean you shall have a
tight scarf around your head. Don't worry, It is very
usual that some parts remain out of the cover. It's quite
acceptable for women to allow whips of their hair to frame
their face. Appropriate hats & caps can do this function
as well as scarves. Scarf is the most common covering for
head and is called "Roosari" in Farsi.

|
3. |
Body :
Should be covered with loose clothes like man shirt, coat
or manteau. Arms should not be bare.
. |
|
|
4. |
Legs & feet :
Legs should be covered down to ankles. Feets can be bare
and you can wear sandals. Tight jeans are no problem.

Tip1 :
In summer and hot weather, you can cheat(!) and not wear
shirt under your coat/manteau. Who understands?!
. |
|
|
* |
Tip2 :
In winter time, apart from covering the head, the rest is
the same as what you wear in your home country.
. |
|
|
* |
Tip3 :
You better enter Iran with a coat and a scarf and select
your style by watching the Iranian women in the streets.
. |
|
|
* |
Tip 4 :
Once a chador is needed, like in holy places, it will be
given upon entrance.
. |
|
|
* |
Tip 5 :
Following the dress-code is necessary form the time of
on-boarding international flights. On Iranian Flights, it
is usually requested when the plane enters the Iranian
boundaries.
