Women dress code in Iran

Waring hijab for women is mandatory in Iran

However hijab in general is not as restricted as in Arabian countries especially for tourists and foreigners.

The dress code for women in Iran is decent and covered; for example, a long coat, long sleeve shirt or simply a Manteau over your regular clothes to cover the body plus a headscarf to cover the hairs. In case your headscarf is not tight enough and your hairs were not completely covered nothing will happen to you, the worst scenario would be a kind and polite reminder or request to obey the rules. We also kindly invite you to respect the law, especially in crowded public places like bazar and mosques.

There is absolutely no restriction for colorful outfit or headscarf, choosing dark color is not necessary and is not recommended, if you travel to Iran in summer we also suggest to choose bright colors and a light loose long-sleeve shirt.

Since Iranian women mostly wear Manteau in public spaces this outfit plays a big role in women fashion market, and you will see that Iranian women wear stylish design of Manteau especially in Tehran. Please consider that wearing manteau is not necessary for tourists, and a long loose shirt is proper enough.
Although Iran is a Muslim country but we like to promote a moderate and peaceful religion that respects others. Many women in Iran wear the headscarf like an accessory in this way they try to stay fashionable and obey the rules.

So once again you can wear your normal outfit in Iran like your tight jeans and shirt just you need to wear a long sleeve light coat over your outfit, you can also wear hats instead of head scarves. Your pants should cover your legs up to ankles. Wearing sandals in summer is quite normal.
You will see that is not going to be complicated and no tourist has ever faced any issues or inconvenience.
