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. Feet 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.
