Fashion

People in ancient Persia liked to look neat, colorful, and strong. Their clothes were made from wool, cotton, or linen. One very important Persian idea was wearing pants. Pants helped people stay warm and made it easier to ride horses, which many Persians did.

Men and women wore long robes or dresses with belts or scarves. Rich people wore brighter colors and nicer designs, while workers wore simple clothes. Kings and nobles wore special robes to show their power.

Jewelry was very popular. People wore gold and silver necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. They also liked shiny stones such as turquoise and lapis lazuli. Both men and women wore jewelry, especially for special days.

Persian clothes and jewelry showed that people cared about beauty, comfort, and tradition.
