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.

The traditional men's garment included the Shalvar, and Jameh combination, often with a wide belt called Kamarband, from which English gets the word "cummerbund".

Headdresses were also worn by men in traditional wear, known as the Sarband. Long robes and loin cloths were also worn by the women and men in Persia. They often used gold jewelry.
