Persian clothing
Traditional Persian clothing can be seen in Persian miniature paintings, employ both vivid and muted colors for clothing, although the colors of paint pigment often do not match the colors of dyes.
The clothing of ancient Iran took an advanced form, and the fabric and color of clothing became very important at that time.[1] Depending on the social status, eminence, climate of the region and the season, Persian clothing during the Achaemenian period took various forms. The philosophy used in Persian clothing, in addition to being functional, also had an aesthetic role.[1]
Traditional Persian clothing, although not worn in urban areas, has been well preserved in texts and paintings throughout history.[citation needed]
