STYLE IN TEHRAN
Islam is the official state religion in Iran which means it is a country respecting Islamic rules. One of these rules is the “Hijab” for women which is not observed very strictly, especially for tourists and foreigners, however as a visitor you are required to abide by the rules and follow the dress code in the public.
For women:
-
Being outdoors would require wearing a scarf or shawl to cover your hair
- Loose shirts, tunics, cardigans and Manteaus
For Men:
- Sleeveless shirts and shorts are not allowed outdoors in Tehran, however feel free to dress so if you happen to visit Kish Island.
*Please note that contrary to some belief, there are no color restrictions for neither gender.
*Places like mosques and shrines require full “Hijab”, full clothe covering is often available on the site for visitors or you may purchase one at an affordable price.
