Iran: Business Dress
From ExecutivePlanet.com
Guidelines for business dress
Most Iranian officials and businessmen will wear smart clothing comprising of trousers, shirt and jacket. Many officials will be seen with collarless shirts. Ties are very uncommon.
As a male, you would be expected to dress smartly and conservatively. A suit is standard, although wearing a tie is not necessary.
Women should wear very conservative clothing that covers arms, legs and hair. When in public, women must cover their hair with a scarf. However, the last decade has seen incredible changes in what the authorities are willing to tolerate. Women can now be seen wearing make-up, jeans and scarves that barely cover the hair. However, as a foreigner it is best to err on the side of caution.
T-shirts are acceptable for males in the hotter months but shorts are only ever seen at the beach.
