SAEDNEWS: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, known for his academic background and unpretentious demeanor, is drawing public attention—not for fiery speeches, but for his minimalist wardrobe, including a reversible jacket that’s fast becoming a cultural symbol.
According to Saed News, President Masoud Pezeshkian, recently elected as Iran’s head of state, has unintentionally launched a new style trend with his modest and consistent fashion choices. In a political landscape historically dominated by clerical attire, Pezeshkian stands out—not with ostentation, but with simplicity.
A former university chancellor and a layman in a clerical political system, Pezeshkian has brought a quiet sartorial revolution to the Iranian presidency. From cabinet meetings to diplomatic sessions, one item remains constant: his reversible jacket, which social media users have quickly dubbed “the Pezeshkian Jacket.”
The phenomenon echoes past trends, such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s famously austere jacket, which became so iconic that similar styles were colloquially named after him. Now, Pezeshkian’s coat—dark green on one side, black on the other—has captured public imagination. A recent image confirmed the dual-tone nature of the jacket, sparking thousands of comments online praising his consistent, relatable image.
Despite high summer temperatures and crowded policy sessions, Pezeshkian has been spotted repeatedly wearing the same jacket—even in scenarios where others, such as former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, would typically remove their blazers.
On a recent trip to Basra, tribal leaders honored the president by gifting him a traditional Arab cloak known as an abaya, a gesture that drew widespread media coverage. The sight of Pezeshkian donning the golden-lined robe underscored the esteem in which he is held across ethnic and regional lines.
Pezeshkian’s fashion philosophy—favoring neutral tones, loose fits, and comfort over grandeur—has become emblematic of his broader public persona: accessible, sincere, and grounded. In a political environment where image often overshadows policy, the president’s simple attire has carved out its own unique political statement—one of humility and quiet confidence.
