Interior in Iranian style. There are many interesting architectural solutions everywhere
Many travelers are intimidated by the “strict” Iranian dress code. Don’t let this scare you away, beautiful girls, in fact, everything is not so scary - many European women travel around the country, but you still have to follow some rules.
This post is about how to dress in Iran and what clothes to take with you on a trip, as well as casual wear Iranian women.
What kind of clothing is there in Muslim countries?
To get you started, here's a good infographic about the types of women's clothing in different Muslim countries.

The burqa (completely covering the body except the eyes) is not worn in Iran, contrary to popular belief. Maybe only very religious people in remote villages somewhere in the south of the country. Moreover, not all women wear chador (veil), only about half. It is only required when visiting certain particularly sacred places, and is issued upon entry.

I can only imagine how hot it is in such outfits in the sweltering Iranian climate.
General rule- hair and the entire body must be covered, except for the hands and feet. In addition, you need to cover your hips, that is, just pants or jeans will not do. Even if you accidentally break something, everyone will politely point it out to you, because you are a tourist.
Here's some Iranian women's fashion, photographed at a market in Shiraz
There are even swimsuits, naturally closed. Although women in Iran can only swim on women's beaches, where men have no access. Swimsuits are sold on the market for everyone to see, it was strange for me.
Manto
In big cities, many young girls dress brightly and stylishly. Usually Iranian women wear trousers or jeans, and put on a coat over it - something like long dress(or just above the knee) with sleeves. There are different coats, with buttons in the front or pulled over the head, colored or calm beige or dark colors, sometimes looks like a coat, cloak or dress. No one forbids wearing a dress down to the ankles under the bottom of a coat, but this is rare.
Shawl or scarf
The head of an Iranian woman is covered with a scarf or scarf, black or colored, there are a great variety of them, for every taste and color. Moreover, many wear it at the very back of the head, as if nominally observing the rule, but at the same time their hair is open.
Cosmetics
Iranian women love a lot of makeup, I would say they have a passion for cosmetics. Due to clothing restrictions, this good way stand out and show off your beauty. Brightly painted lips, penciled eyebrows, huge eyelashes are the usual image of a modern Iranian woman, although from a religious point of view this is not encouraged.
In addition, there is simply a boom in plastic surgery in Iran. Many girls (and guys too) can see a white bandage on their nose. This means that an operation was recently performed to change its shape, because for many it looks like a potato, so wide and swollen. And Iranian women try to make their shapes like European women, so that their noses are thin.
Some people simply apply this plaster, even without surgery, so that others think that the girl is wealthy and has money. :-)
What clothes should a girl take with her to Iran?
- It would be a good idea to take a tunic or cardigan with you to Iran; maybe you have something similar to a coat lying around in your wardrobe. The latter can be bought locally inexpensively, for about $15-20.
- Pair with jeans or trousers for the tunic.
- You can try to take a dress, but it will require dark tight tights or leggings.
- On your head, take a scarf, a scarf, a stole of any color you want.
- You can take a light long shirt.
I have also seen older foreign women wearing wide, loose pants and a tunic just below the hips, as well as dresses under the tunic, but the locals don’t dress like that.
The rules of the Iranian dress code begin to apply when you get off the plane upon arrival, you need to prepare in advance.
What about men?
For men in Iran, everything is much simpler: it is not recommended to wear shorts and sleeveless T-shirts, otherwise everything is as usual: jeans or pants, a T-shirt or shirt. Shorts are not worn even in the most hellish heat in the south, you will have to be patient, especially compared to the torment of girls under layers of clothing - this is a mere trifle.
Iranian style the interior contains harmony, tranquility, and relaxation. This is a homely, warm and cozy interior.
Iranian interior so impeccable and thought out to the smallest detail that, having decorated your home in a similar style, you will feel like a hermit in safe haven, and every corner will seem created for peace and a pleasant pastime.

The basis of the Iranian interior is traditionally a pastel color scheme, which is reminiscent of the desert.

According to designers, there are several perfect combinations color pairs that always look advantageous.
Such universal colors include, for example, black and white, blue and light green and, of course, the color of water and the color of earth - brown and bright blue. This is a trend that exists outside of time.

Iran is famous for its arabesques - an ornament or pattern that is repeated many times. Unlike other eastern countries, images of animals are quite rare in Iranian interiors. The theme of arabesques has developed historically. When Persia (modern Iran) was conquered by the Arabs, they made some changes to the usual Iranian life.
For some time, images of animals and people practically disappeared from the Iranian interior, since Islam does not accept this, but floral patterns, elaborate and exotic vegetation, as well as easily recognizable Iranian abstraction or geometry began to be actively used.
Everything in the Iranian interior should evoke thoughts of relaxation, therefore, firstly, one should not overuse bright, ostentatious materials for decoration. Secondly, the premises should be organized in such a way that there is always a feeling of freedom and spaciousness. In an Iranian home, there is not a single item that is left unattended.

The walls are traditionally high, and the ceiling is created according to the principle of a complex design: multi-level, arched. Arch like architectural element Generally popular in Iran. Very rarely used there interior doors– they are successfully replaced by a wide arched doorway With beautiful curtains, decorative textile panels.
And finally, the main Iranian pride is carpets. The carpet is the main decorative element in the Iranian interior. Iran is considered the birthplace of carpets, and today this country continues to be the undisputed leader in carpet production. In the East, carpets are universal items. They are not only floor coverings - carpets are hung on walls, doorways, used as a dividing fence between different zones, a lounger on a low podium, a wall bag, a pouf, and with the help of a carpet they designate a personal place for prayer.
Iranians determine the level of wealth of the owners by the number of carpets in the house. Even today, Europeans continue to inherit the Iranian style, using carpets in unexpected interpretations: in the form of a picture or, for example, a removable seat for a chair.

Today this combination is a timeless trend, an indicator of impeccable style and a true standard of designer fashion.
Iranian interior design style is also famous for its arabesques - a pattern or ornament that repeats. But unlike other eastern countries, animals in arabesques are quite rare in Iraq. This difference arose historically, mainly due to the conquest of the country by the Arabs, who made some changes to their culture. Yes, and Islam does not accept the depiction of people and animals, but it fully welcomes floral patterns, elaborate and exotic vegetation. Original Iranian abstraction and geometry are also popular.

Therefore, doors are practically not used - they are replaced by a beautiful arched doorway with elegant curtains.

Carpet is not only an ideal floor covering, Iranians hang it on walls, doors, and divide functional areas and used as a lounger on a low podium. It is by the number of these products that the residents of Iraq determine the level of income of the owners. Today, fashionable Europeans use carpets in completely unpredictable places, such as a painting or a removable seat for a chair.
