What to Wear in Morocco: 6 Essential Items

So you're thinking about taking the leap, or perhaps you already have your trip planned to Morocco, and you're curious as what you should bring to wear.

Being in the center of one of Morocco's vibrant cities or stunning deserts, you'll want to be fully prepared for the hot and dry climate: staying comfortable, cool, and of course- stylish. Although we have heard of women wearing whatever they like on a trip to this mostly Islamic country, we believe in providing packing options that are considered culturally appropriate and versatile. With a unique cultural element to embrace, creating your Moroccan wardrobe can be a fun way to immerse yourself into the culture!

Here're 6 items that we love, and hope can serve as inspiration for you to consider bringing on your journey.

LINEN PANTS

When in Morocco you want to think about dressing modestly. Linen pants are both comfortable and breathable; enabling you to meet the cultural standards while having the functionality during your desert camel rides and long walks through the city.

Simply add a baggy white Tee for day adventures, or a fun blouse for an evening out.
