Iran's "morality police" are on high alert this summer for mini-skirts, mullets, and men who wear necklaces. Could denim be the next fashion to be deemed "un-Islamic" in Iran?

Last summer, Iranian authorities warned men in the Islamic republic that sporting a mullet haircut could result in a fine. Iran’s “morality police” reportedly deemed the mullet, among other hairdos, a sign of Western decadence.

Earlier this month, as my colleagues at GlobalPost’s News Desk reported, Iranian men were told that wearing necklaces was also banned as an “un-Islamic” fashion.
