 Obeying Islamic rules including Hijab or Islamic dress-code is necessary in Iran. However these rules are not observed very strict, especially for tourists and foreigners.

You must not worry about maintaining your hijab , if sometime you have forgotten about it, the maximum penalty will be a request (usually in a kind way) to put it on.
There are some minimum requirements for foreign women dress-code in public places:

Color: It's a completely false belief that wearing must be dark in Iran. There is no limitation in this respect and we recommend you make sure using light colors in summer.

Head: Hair should be covered. It does not mean you shall have a tight scarf around your head. Don't worry; it is very usual that some parts remain out of the cover. It's quite acceptable for women to allow whisps of their hair to frame their face. Appropriate hats & caps can do this function as well as scarves. Scarf is the most common covering for head and is called "Roosari" in Farsi.

Body: Should be covered with loose clothes like a man's shirt, coat or manteau. Arms should not be bare.

Legs & feet: Legs should be covered down to ankles. Feet can be bare and you can wear sandals. Tight jeans are no problem.

 · In summer and hot weather, you can wear nothing under your coat/manteau. Who ould know ?!

· In winter, apart from covering the head, the rest is the same as what you wear in your home country.

· It's best enter Iran with a coat and a scarf and select your style by watching the Iranian women in the streets.

· If a chador is needed, for example in holy places, it will be given to you upon entrance.

· Following the dress-code is necessary from the time of on-boarding international flights. On Iranian Flights, it is usually requested when the plane enters the Iranian air space
