Moroccan Street Fashion

Moroccan Style

Moroccan street fashion was a bit disappointing. The most colorful and creative clothing outfits were on Moroccan women in the countryside. City fashion has some wonderful color but most of the Moroccan fashions that we saw were not exciting. Today to be a citizen of Morocco you must be a Muslim. Probably that explains why there is very little Western clothing on women.

Supposedly women have a choice of what to wear but there are “rules” according to a woman worker at a hotel where I stayed in at Marrakesh. Covering your head is a sign of respect in the Muslim religion. However I was told wealthy and well-educated women will not wear a head cover all of the time. As you can see from my street fashion photos there are practically no women without head covers.
