If you google what the dress code is in Iran, you will see a lot of information about how women must wear during their travel to Iran. It may be logical because women apart from covering their body during their travel, must wear scarf, too and although it may be an interesting experience for someone but is a big challenge for someone else and So, it has become an important subject in the net.

But concerning men, the information is very little because the differences between dress code in Iran and outside Iran for men isn’t considerable.

Although, men, too, must obey some rules. E.g. wearing shorts in public isn’t normal for men and the best option for them is long pants/jeans and T-shirt or long sleeved shirts.

Three-quarter pants (till ankle) isn’t forbidden but generally isn’t proper.

Iranian men are very trendy and Surely you will see many young men with long hairs who wear tight short sleeves T-shirts, Jeans and special kind of dress that look very hip.

Also, you may see that many men wear formal in public but again wearing tie isn’t normal.

Generally speaking: 

  • Short sleeved shirt: ok
  • Sandal with or without socks: ok
  • Shorts: no
  • Three-quarter pants: not proper
  • Tie: not normal but no problem

At the end, it is good to say that the rules aren’t strict and there are many Iran travelers who have traveled to Iran without any “suggestion or warning”.

Happy travel to Iran
