As part of my Morocco travel recap, I wanted to answer a question that I saw being asked on all the travel blogs and forums.
So, what do you wear in Morocco? To be fair, there is no all encompassing answer as we have to make allowances for personal taste, style and planned activities. So this answer is for the woman who wants to be stylish, comfortable within the city (no hiking or strenuous activity unless you count lifting carpets and haggling) and still respect the culture of the country.
Morocco is an extremely modern and tourist friendly country. Although its considered to be a traditional muslim society, the western culture is firmly established in the cities so you will easily find the young Moroccan women out and about in skinny jeans and sleeveless dresses. The fashion designers are extremely fashion forward and the boutiques carry fashions that could be seen in any European or American city.
However, in the medina, where all the markets are located, the dress code is more conservative. The general rule is to wear loose tops with sleeves and make sure your bottoms are not too short or tight which means leave the hot pants and Herve Leger body con minis at home.
I only brought a carry on, so all these pieces did double, even triple duty during the trip. Not credited are about 3 white tanks and 2 light layering tees.
What ? No pictures? Hush, impatient ones, here's what I wore in Morocco.
