Shirts and ties are displayed at a shop in the north of Iran's capital Tehran on September 7, 2022. - After the fall of the shah in 1979, the Iranian clergy who came to power with Ayatollah Khomeini banned the wearing of neckties because in their eyes they symbolised a subjection to Western culture.
