chador
The chador is a traditional garment worn by many women in Iran and other parts of the Middle East. It is a full-body cloak that covers the body and head, leaving only the face visible. The chador is often made from lightweight fabric and comes in various colors, though black is the most common. It is typically worn over regular clothing and is associated with modesty and cultural identity.
In addition to its practical use, the chador holds significant cultural and religious meaning for many women. It is often linked to the practice of Islam and reflects the values of modesty and respect within the community. While some women choose to wear the chador voluntarily, others may feel societal pressure to do so.
