Clothing

Since the Islamic revolution inIran in the year 1979, the government has required women to wear more loose-fitting coats or cloaks such as the chador in public and a headscarf that covers the hair. The ordinary headscarf is called rusari روسري in Persian. The maghnaeh is a type of head covering common among students and government employees. It is a "wimple-like head covering", black in color, that is usually required on college campuses and at other public institutions in Iran.
