Iran Bans Women's Body-Hugging Robes as Un-Islamic

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has tightened controls on its Islamic dress code for women, banning robes deemed too revealing, newspapers said Sunday.

Authorities sent directives to shops to stop the production and sale of "immoral coats," which are body-clinging and too short, the newspapers reported.

Under Iran's strict Islamic law, women are required to dress in loose-fitting, ankle-length clothes and cover their hair and neck with headscarves. Violators risk being fined or lashed.

Residents say Iran has periodic crackdowns after protests by conservatives that many women are flouting the dress code.

In a sign of a gradual relaxation of Iran's social restrictions, some Iranian women wear long trousers and knee- length tight robes, and allow part of their hair to spill out from under colorful scarves.
