Iran Dress Code
Iran is considered as an Islamic country. However such rules of Hijab are not observed strictly, especially for tourists so the Iran dress code is just about simple rules and some tips.
The maximum penalty would be a request in a kind way to make it correct.
Iranian women are very modest in picking their Veil (Hijab), and you cannot see its equivalent anywhere in the Middle East or other Islamic countries.
Many tourists are shocked when they see women dressed in Iran once they arrive, they see a lot of Iranian women who are stylish and take great care of how they look but all tourists either individually or in groups should consider that there are some precautions to be taken all around the world and Iran is not an exception.
Iran Dress Code – General Recommendations:
Colors
It’s a false belief that ladies are not allowed to choose the color of their clothing.
This is absolutely wrong. There’s no restriction in color with regard to the clothing standard. So bring your colorful clothes along, They are the best idea during summer.
Manteau
The body should be covered (you can wear loose clothing such as baggy shirts or coats).
You can also wear jeans. Most women prefer to wear a manteau (different material in every season) which can be long, short, loose, or tight, and in different colors.
Tunics and Cardigans
Tunics can be an incredible choice for summer trips to Iran. If they cover up your hip you are good to go. You may have a dress that can be paired with skinny jeans.
Scarf & Hair Covering
According to Iranian law, women ought to cover their hair. You may respect this law by using colorful and beautiful headscarves, which are a reward, especially in the winter months.
Hair ought to be covered but that does not mean you have to wear a tight scarf around your head.
It is very usual if some parts remain out of the scarf. It’s quite acceptable for ladies to allow some part of their hair to outline their faces.
High boots, skinny jeans, cropped and Capri Pants
You can pair high boots, during winter, with skinny jeans. The cropped pants are just fine as long as they are right above your ankle. But wearing short pants must be avoided.

Open toes and sandals are just fine for both men and women, especially in summer. Painted nails on your fingers and your toes are also OK and everyone else uses nail Polish.
