On page 3 of the book, Marjane and her classmates are all now required to wear the veil. Although none of the children knew why they had to wear the veil, they did it because they were told to. Marjane was conflicted about this because it contradicted the modern times that she lived in, yet it was a part of her tradition and religion. This shows the link between clothing and religion in the book.
On page 131, Marjane dressed herself in all very modern clothing. She wore 1983 Nikes, a denim jacket with a Michael Jackson button, and her headscarf. Modernized clothing would be frowned upon due to its western-style decadence. Later on page 133, Marjane goes out alone and caught wearing these modern clothing.
On page 133, Marjane was stopped by Guardians of the Revolution. When questioned about the clothing she wore, Marjane made up lies and excuses for all pieces of her clothing. If she had not lied about her clothing, she would have been arrested and her mother would never let her go out alone again. This was an example of how certain clothing was judged and frowned upon and how clothing that was not traditional was not accepted by their society.
