Packing for conservative countries like Morocco can be tricky—especially when the weather is warm.
While it’s advisable to dress modestly, it’s also essential to stay cool. Local women adhere to a dress code in Morocco, opting for conservative pieces, but you’ll see a wide range of outfits in Morocco, especially in high tourism areas.
Women in tourist areas wear everything from crop tops to burkas. I highly recommend finding something in the middle—respecting local culture and opting for more conservative outfits.
Street harassment is common, and, like it or not, the attention and respect you get will depend on what you wear. Want to look and feel amazing on your adventure?

How to Dress in Morocco as a Female
Below are my must-have tips on how to dress in Morocco. Think comfort, style, and just the right touch of conservative chic!
Dress for the Weather
In the winter, you’ll find temperatures from 40-70 degrees Fahrenheit; in the hottest summer months, days can easily hit 100+ degrees. At any time of the year, bring warm layers for the evening, as it does get cooler after dark.
Think Loose and Flowy
All things lightweight and full coverage are ideal—loose trousers or maxi skirts are perfect. A tunic dress or shirt with leggings or a full kaftan is great, too. Not only does full coverage allow you to dress conservatively in Morocco, but it will also protect you from the sun.

Bring Practical Shoes
Closed-toe or comfortable shoes are must-haves for long days of exploring. It’s also handy to have flats or sandals for when you want to run around the riad or take short walks.
Don’t Forget a Hat
A wide-brimmed hat is essential for protecting yourself from the Moroccan sun. Plus, a cute hat adds a stylish touch to any outfit!
Wear a Scarf
None of your outfits for Morocco are complete without a lightweight scarf. Throw one in your bag every day to use it to cover up before going into a mosque or keep the sun off your skin when you’re overheating.
Moroccan scarves are also gorgeous souvenirs, so plan to buy one there! You’ll find them in pretty much any city, town, or souk, so you don’t need to bring your own if you don’t want to.
