A growing trend among conservative Iranian women sees them embracing more fashionable and colorful interpretations of the hijab, defying traditional expectations while navigating a complex social landscape.
Noura, a 30-year-old Iran ian woman raised in a religious household, wore a head-to-toe black veil known as a chador from a young age. Not any more. At a fashion event in northern Tehran late last year she wore a long-sleeved white shirt under a toe-length navy vest with her hair fully covered by a white, pink and blue scarf: not an outfit traditionally associated with conservative Iran ian women. But Noura was there in search of the latest trends to blend her faith with her interest in fashion.
” The turning point, Iranians say, was the demonstrations that erupted in 2022 after Mahsa Amini, a young woman detained for allegedly violating hijab rules, died in custody — an event that prompted even many conservative women to express their anger. But, even as the regime has tentatively accommodated some limited liberalisation, hardliners have nonetheless sought to crack down on women who defy the hijab outright.
