"Short garments, tight pants, short jacket and long boots are just a few of the outerwear strictly forbidden for ladies in public," Roosbehani said.
First time offenders will be given verbal advice and if repeated legal action will be brought against them, Roosbehani added.
Roosbehani said that the new act is in accordance with the so-called "boosting public security plan."
The so-called "boosting public security plan" was first introduced in April 2007 to combat popular uprisings. Mass street arrests of hundreds of thousands of women and youth under the pretext of "mal-veiling" and cracking down on "thugs and hooligans" followed. In the same period, more than 300 prisoners were sent to gallows.
