Have you decided to visit Iran? Great! Then you should think about the dress code before packing. Packing for Iran is a little different than other countries because Iran is an Islamic country with a specific dress code for both men and women. This article will help you decide what to take and what to leave behind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Women are required to wear a hijab, which is a head covering that covers the head, hair, and neck, when in public. However, it is not necessary to cover every strand of hair. Remember to have a headscarf in your carry-on because you are expected to cover your hair soon after leaving the plane. The hijab also includes a manteau, a long, loose coat or overshirt that covers your bottom, has long sleeves, and is not too low-cut in the chest area. \u00a0As for pants, wear ones that cover your ankles and are not torn. Contrary to many tourists’ assumptions, you do not have to wear baggy pants. Many young women in Iran even wear leggings these days. Good news! When it comes to shoes, there are no restrictions. So you are free to wear sandals or flip-flops, but you should check the time of year as it can get quite cold in some parts of Iran
in winter. (See “What to Pack for Iran in Different Seasons?” in this article).<\/p>

Colorful Clothing<\/strong><\/h5>

Unlike what some guides might say, there are no written rules about the color of your clothes. So you are free to choose the colors of your scarf, manteau, pants, and shoes. During your stay in Iran, you will surely notice that young people wear colorful and stylish clothes despite the restrictions imposed by the hijab.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Makeup and Painted Nails<\/strong><\/h5>

Most Persian women love to put on makeup and take care of their appearance. So applying makeup is not only not forbidden, but it has also become a feminine culture. Painted nails are also perfectly fine, as most Persian women also get their nails painted at professional nail salons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Chador<\/strong><\/h5>

You may have seen photos of tourists or locals wearing a long piece of cloth over their heads and around their bodies. Although wearing a chador is not obligatory in everyday life. But you will be asked to wear one when you are in a religious place, such as at the shrine of a holy person or in certain mosques. However, you are not required to bring a chador with you, as you will be given one upon entry.

Where Can I Take Off My Hijab?<\/strong><\/h5>

The above rules are required by law and must be observed in public. This means that you can wear what you want in the privacy of your home, such as your hotel room. You can also wear whatever clothes you want if you are invited to a local’s house, but be careful not to offend their religious beliefs by doing so. It’s always safer to ask if they are okay with it beforehand.

Dress Code for Men<\/strong><\/h5>

Packing for Iran is easier for men and not much different from what you pack for other countries. Men must wear long pants and are not allowed to wear shorts or sleeveless tops. These rules are especially true for more religious cities like Mashhad, Qom, Kashan, and Yazd.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What to Pack for Iran in Different Seasons?<\/strong><\/h5>

Iran is a magnificent country that enjoys four seasons. Also, the country is about 1.6 million square kilometers, so the climate varies greatly depending on your location. We will try to give you a general idea of your trip to Iran in the different seasons and what you need to take with you to be prepared.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Spring<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>

The weather in spring is a mixture of winter and summer. In early spring, i.e., from mid-March to mid-April, it can sometimes get very cold, especially if you decide to travel to Iran’s northern cities or more mountainous locations. In more centrally located cities such as Isfahan, Kashan, Yazd, and Kerman, the weather becomes warm during the day and much colder at night. However, in late spring and early May, the weather gets more summery and hotter, especially in the central cities.<\/p>
