In addition to that, the Achaemenids introduced the very concept of uniforms for armies (as mentioned by Dr. Kaveh Farrokh in his book ‘The Sassanian Heavy Cavalry‘), after which the classical Greeks adopted the nifty system. The Sassanians continued with the tradition of elegant attires and ensembles being flaunted in lavish court cultures, with multifarious regal colors ranging from gold, purple to red and crimson. But perhaps the most recognizable Persian contribution to the world of fashion is the seamed fitted coat, with their initial designs being made from animal skins. These clothing objects were mainly adopted to guard against the cold weathers that were prevalent in most of Iran’s and Khorasan’s mountainous areas.
