Morocco Outfit Inspiration

Morocco Outfit Inspiration

Updated: May 2020

Before my recent trip to Morocco, I had some serious issues deciding what to pack. I was traveling to Morocco in March, so I knew the weather would be warm, and it was very humid, which made packing conservative clothing even trickier!

Because Morocco is a conservative and religious country, clothing is something you should be mindful of to respect the local culture and social norms. Local women dress very conservatively, but you’ll see a range of styles on the streets, especially in Marrakech.

Here’s some Morocco outfit inspiration based on my own conservative travel styles!

Morocco

Long Kaftan + Tan Sandals

The most comfortable outfit you can rock in Morocco is a long kaftan. The style has been worn by men and women for thousands of years. Lucky for us, they’re in fashion so there are tons of super cute options available online!

Marrakech, Morocco

Tunic with Leggings

Leggings are my go-to item to wear under just about everything. I packed a few tunics and simply styled with a pair of white or black leggings to stay comfortable and conservative on days wandering the city streets.

 

Morocco

Black Maxi Dress + Shawl

I bring my black shawl on every trip. Shawls are so multi-functional for travel! I wear it on the plane as a wrap or over my lap as a blanket. When I am out exploring, it instantly transforms an outfit into a conservative, and cute, style. You also can’t go wrong with lots of maxi dresses in Morocco!

Glamping in Morocco's Sahara Desert

White Blouse + Flowy Pants

Whether I’m exploring the markets of Marrakech or on an African safari, a sheer white blouse with an undershirt is incredibly functional. Bonus: They have the ability to make you look extra “travel chic!”  I try to find blouses that are very breathable and that don’t wrinkle easily. You can pair the blouse with long flowy pants, a maxi skirt, or just about anything!

Marrakech, Morocco

Kimono + Leggings

I always wear a top long enough to cover my “booty” when wearing leggings. Skin-tight also doesn’t fly in religious countries (literally—we all heard about the yoga pants ban on United Airlines!) An easy fix to minimize the appearance of your curves is a flowy kimono!

Morocco

Jumpsuit + Light Scarf

I actually bought this jumpsuit from a vendor in Essaouira while in Morocco! To keep my shoulders covered while exploring the town, I simply wore a light scarf over my shoulders. A little matching pair of earrings brought the whole look together. Too easy!

Morocco

Printed Midi Dress + Denim Shirt

Another one of my go-to outfits for pretty much anywhere in the world is a cute little sundress and denim shirt. I’ve worn this outfit all over Europe, back home in California, and the knee-length midi dress made it conservative enough for an afternoon exploring the seaside town of Essaouira in Morocco.

Glamping in Morocco's Sahara Desert

Tunic + Headscarf

While glamping in the Sahara, I tried to stay as cool as possible by rocking all-white leggings and a long, flowy tunic. The headscarf was perfect for protecting my hair from the wind! If you’re traveling to the Sahara, remember you’ll be hiking and riding camels, so be prepared!

 

I took my first trip to Morocco this past March, and based on my previous trips to Jordan and other conservative countries, I compiled my top tips for what to pack for a trip to Morocco!

      Hi Kiki!
      I am heading to Morocco next year and I absolutely love the white linen (I think?) tunic in the Sahara Desert photo. I’m looking for something very similar. Where did you buy yours?
      Thanks 🙂

      Hi Kiki,
      I love your blog. It’s inspired me on many an occasion, starting with Iceland. I’ve been obsessed with your sheer white blouse and flowy pants outfit for years now – I remember looking for inspiration when I went to Jordan 2 years ago and still find myself returning to this post. I have a white blouse that’s pretty similar, but the pants and the pinky-red color of yours have eluded me. 🙂 I don’t expect them to be available any more but for my own sanity, do you happen to recall where you got them?

      Would really appreciate it!
      Thanks,
      Trish

    These might just be the best travel bags ever ✨
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
    Ollie and I recently traveled to Washington and brought the @noreceptionclub travel bags along. And I have to say, these bags have completely changed how I pack with a toddler. Traveling with a little one means not only making sure you have every snack, every toy, and every detail covered — but also making sure you have it all within reach. And if it can look good too? All the better.

    We brought with us:

    • The Getaway Bag, which works as a diaper bag when your kids are extra little (and as a family travel backpack for bigger kids), includes customizable compartments, an insulated lunch bag and even stroller clips!
    • The Hideaway Carry-On Duffel with a cubby system and dividers that you can pull out and hang in hotel closets for optimal convenience. It even has backpack straps and a luggage pass-through for other carrying options!
    • The Sidekick V2 has its own compartment in the Getaway Bag and is great for small day trips and hands-free storage. The mesh pockets hold smaller items while the magnetic flap in the back makes it easy to grab baby wipes fast!
    • The Dopp Kit, made with parents in mind, keeps personal care essentials organized and accessible.
    •The Sliders Complete Set with clear windows and smart compartments making it easy to see and grab everything you need!

    Pack smarter for family adventures and get your hands on the @noreceptionclub bag that speaks to you! Use BLONDEABROAD20 for $20 off purchases of $150 or more
