Chador is a loose, traditional Iranian Muslim garment worn by women that covers the body and is held closed at the front. It is typically worn over other clothes and is associated with modest dress codes. The term can also refer to the ensemble of garments worn in various Persian-speaking regions, though in English it most often denotes the single outer veil/shawl. The word has Persian roots and carries cultural and religious connotations beyond its basic clothing description.
