Femmes marocaines utilisent des triangles et des feuilles que leurs motifs les plus courants, et la nature est leur principale source d'inspiration. L'utilisation de ce type de broderie est limitée à décorer nappes, mouchoirs, couvertures, etc.

Musical variation in Morocco - Gnawa Music in Essaouira
Musical variation in Morocco - Gnawa Music in Essaouira
The Gnawa are descendants of former slaves from areas of sub-Saharan Africa (Niger, Senegal, Mali, Ghana, etc.) that the Arabs and the Berbers of Morocco and Algeria found in West Africa . Although some researchers find the roots of spirituality in voodoo, the Gnawa are now Muslim mystical brotherhoods best known for their musical style, one of the main genres of Moroccan folklore.
Their name derives from the word GUINEA (former Empire of western Sudan), even if only part of the population comes from this region of Africa. In the Maghreb, the word "Sudani" is used to refer to all of sub-Saharan black Africans or people and, by extension, means "slave or descendant of slaves," regardless of the country of origin (and not only Sudan). The term "ABDE or ABID" clearly means "slave or descendant of a slave or a person with black skin."
They were then mixed with the local population and were trained in guilds (with a master and a particular style of dress) to create a music and worship mixing African traditions and Arab-Berber, and musical and spiritual expressions pre -Islamic. These brotherhoods, rooted in Moroccan culture, explain the creativity and vitality to the success of Moroccan Gnawa with their fellow tourists and musicians in the West.
Dancing and singing Gnawa have a mystical-religious aspect. With their "krakeb" (cymbal metal) and percussion, singers and dancers can sometimes go into a trance. The style is captivating and their folklore is beautiful and fertile.
In Morocco, the cradle of Gnawa music is quite unique in the region of Essaouira, where there is also Gnawa and Berber Jew.
For economic reasons, some Gnawa (which are not all "Maalem" masters of music and mystical ceremony) of Morocco ritual come to present their music to a wider public Moroccan inspired by the troops of acrobats can be seen in the Jemmaa el Fna square in Marrakech or in the "Moussem" (regional religious celebration), they will develop and invent tricks (which are not part of the ritual) and enrich their dresses bright dresses, hats with a long tassel, the "gri-gri" white sewn on the dress and hat to attract, entertain and distract the public. Outside Essaouira and before they become renowned Gnawa has long been regarded as buskers.
The sole Morocco, Gnawa music is now represented by women's groups Essaouira (called "Mqadamate" feminine "Maalem"). Their music is played with "darbukas" metal trays and sometimes "krakeb" but "Gambra" is not played today. Their clothes resemble those of men and their dance is compatible with this form of ritual .
This kind of music is, with some differences, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Libya, with specific to each of these country names. However, unlike in Morocco, where relatively accurate information available, different types of Gnawa in these other countries show shadows and varying degrees, both historical, cultural and social. The Gnawa rituals are surrounded by an element of mystery and access to "lilac", the ritual of possession syncretic remains private.
Many Moroccan and musical traditions of the world, such as the fusion of jazz, blues, reggae, rap, chaabi, rai, or were inspired by the Gnawa musical heritage to enhance their work. Thus, the great Moroccan classics, such as "Allah, Allah Moulana" are found in many compositions.

La variation musicale au Maroc - Gnawa Music à Essaouira
La variation musicale au Maroc - Gnawa Music à Essaouira
Les Gnawa sont des descendants d'anciens esclaves originaires de territoires d'Afrique sub-saharienne (Niger, Sénégal, Mali, Ghana, etc) que les Arabes et les Berbères du Maroc et de l'Algérie ont trouvé en Afrique de l'Ouest. Bien que certains chercheurs trouvent les racines de leur spiritualité dans le vaudou, les Gnawa sont aujourd'hui confréries mystiques musulmanes surtout connus pour leur style musical, l'un des principaux genres du folklore marocain.
Leur nom dérive du mot GUINÉE (ancien Empire de l'ouest du Soudan), même si une partie seulement de la population provient de cette région d'Afrique. Au Maghreb, le mot «Soudani" est utilisé pour désigner toutes les personnes d'Afrique sub-saharienne ou les Africains noirs et, par extension, désigne "esclave ou descendant d'esclave», quel que soit le pays d'origine (et pas seulement le Soudan) . Le terme "ABDE ou ABID" signifie clairement "esclave ou descendant d'un esclave ou personne à la peau noire".
Ils ont ensuite été mélangés avec la population locale et ont été formés dans des confréries (avec un maître et un style particulier de robe) pour créer une musique et de culte mélangeant traditions africaines et arabo-berbère, ainsi que les expressions musicales et spirituelles pré-islamiques. Ces confréries, enracinées dans la culture marocaine, expliquent la créativité et de la vitalité à la réussite de Gnawa marocains avec leurs compatriotes, les touristes et les musiciens de l'Ouest.
Danse et le chant gnawa ont un aspect mystico-religieux. Avec leur "krakeb" (de cymbale en métal) et leur percussion, chanteurs et danseurs peuvent parfois entrer en transe. Le style est captivant, et leur folklore est belle et fertile.
Au Maroc, le berceau de la musique Gnawa est tout à fait unique dans la région d'Essaouira, où l'on trouve aussi Gnawa et berbère juif.
Pour des raisons économiques, certains Gnawa (qui ne sont pas tous "Maalem", maîtres de la musique et de la cérémonie mystique) du Maroc rituel viennent de présenter leur musique à un plus large public marocain, inspiré par les troupes d'acrobates qui peuvent être vus dans le Jemmaa el Fna place à Marrakech ou dans le "Moussem" (célébration religieuse régionale), ils vont développer et inventer des acrobaties (qui ne font pas partie du rituel) et enrichir leurs robes de robes lumineuses, des chapeaux avec un long gland, le "gri-gri" blanc cousu sur la robe et le chapeau, afin d'attirer, divertir et distraire le public. En dehors d'Essaouira et avant qu'ils ne deviennent de renom, les Gnawa a été longtemps considéré comme amuseurs publics.
Dans le seul Maroc, de la musique Gnaoua est maintenant représenté par des groupes de femmes d'Essaouira (appelées "Mqadamate", féminin de "Maalem"). Leur musique se joue avec "darbukas", des plateaux en métal et parfois «krakeb", mais la "Gambra" n'est plus joué aujourd'hui. Leurs vêtements ressemblent à celles des hommes et leur danse est compatible avec cette forme de rituel.
Ce genre de musique existe, avec quelques différences, en Tunisie, en Algérie, en Egypte et en Libye, avec des noms spécifiques à chacun de ces pays. Cependant, contrairement au Maroc, où des informations relativement précises sont disponibles, les différents types de Gnawa dans ces autres pays montrent des zones d'ombre et ont des degrés divers, à la fois historique, culturel et sociétal.

Packing for a trip to Morocco with weather and Culture in mind
Packing for a trip to Morocco with weather and Culture in mind
When you visit Morocco, traveling in the city include nights, hiking through the mountains, excursions by camel in the desert and cultural excursions. As you pack for your holidays in Morocco, you will need to consider the activities you want to do, how your clothes will be collected from a cultural point of view and what season you travel.
Summer:
If you are traveling during the summer months, expect warmer temperatures and hiking trails clear of snow, but higher elevations will cool round the year. In many countries, it is common to pack shorts and a tank top, but do not do it for a trip to Morocco. Instead, wrap pants and shirts (machine works well) light but avoid wearing revealing clothing. Many Moroccans are Muslims, and expose too much flesh in shorts, short skirts, tank tops and is not appreciated, especially during daylight hours.
Women would be wise to dress in at least one knee pants or skirts until evening. In the evening, the nightlife of Morocco may justify a more flexible dress code, but it will depend on where you are going and how a cosmopolitan city. Also, take care to leave the local clothing to the local population. While some Moroccans are djellabas or hip-length tunics, those who live in the city tend to wear western-style clothes.
Autumn:
Fall in Morocco is still quite hot, although temperatures in the mountains begin to fall to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. During the day, a pair of pants and light shirt can be comfortable, but at night, you probably want a jacket when temperatures reach below 50 degrees. The density of the envelope will largely depend on where you plan to travel in the country.
In the desert, night temperatures can be much cooler than in the city. If you decide to go hiking in the mountains, a thicker layer is a good idea. When you choose your clothing, you may want to avoid white. The rainy season has not yet started, so dust in the desert and cities can get away with the wind. White may be cooler, but you will notice it is dirty rather quickly.
Winter:
Winter trip will be mostly confined to cultural tours and city, as most trekking trips are not possible because of the snow. During the winter months, heavy pants and shirts, or even layers of clothing will be more comfortable. Packing layers allow you to remove or add clothing as needed. Days in the desert is hot, but plan accordingly for cool evenings and nights in winter. It is also important to note that the country's rainy season starts in November. During the rainy season, it is better to have a full rain gear.
Spring:
Spring is one of the wettest seasons in Morocco. The rains of the country continue until the end of March, so pack a rain jacket and shoes that are comfortable when wet. An umbrella can be handy in the city, but they are heavy in the mountains. You should also expect cooler spring temperatures. Depending on where you visit, expect daytime temperatures between 55 and 79 degrees, and at night temperatures are between 38 and 57 degrees.

So Moroccan people give great importance to their traditional clothes because they reflect their identity, which is inherent to their existence. You are all invited to discover Morocco through its traditional clothes, which are a mirror of competence, good taste and expertise of Moroccan artisans.
Once in Morocco, you can stay in one of the riads in Marrakech fantastic, right next to the souks, where you can find all kinds of traditional Moroccan clothing, or in a hotel in Marrakech, Morocco who have their own shops. You can also stay in a beautiful villa in Marrakech, closer to rural areas, where people welcome you with open arms.

Vêtements traditionnels marocains
Vêtements traditionnels marocains
Les marocains sont fiers d'avoir un grand et varié patrimoine culturel qui est le résultat de la variation ethnique de la société marocaine. Vêtements traditionnels marocains sont une partie importante de ce patrimoine. Dans cet article, je vais parler de certains types de vêtements traditionnels qui sont célèbres dans ce merveilleux pays.
Nous avons deux principaux types de vêtements traditionnels:
D'une part, nous avons des vêtements pour les hommes, qui sont considérés comme une condition obligatoire à remplir sur toutes les occasions spéciales marocaines, telles que les mariages, les aides et les partis de la circoncision.
Nous pouvons trouver de nombreux types de ces vêtements: la djellaba, une longue robe extérieure, lâchement à capuche avec manches complètes, la terbouch ou tarbouche, un feutre rouge chapeau en forme de cône tronqué, et le baboosh de belgha ou traverses de cuir. En outre, il est le Derraa, les vêtements masculins traditionnels sahraouis constitués d'une longue chemise lâche de coton bleu.
D'autre part, nous avons des vêtements pour les femmes, qui sont considérées comme essentielles pour leur élégance et leur beauté. Il existe plusieurs types de vêtements pour femmes, tels que le caftan, un long vêtement avec de larges manches flottantes, attachées à l'avant d'une rangée de petits boutons généralement en tresse de soie, d'origine andalouse.
Le caftan ou kaftan est devenu l'un des plus célèbres robes marocaines pour les femmes, bien qu'elle était spéciale pour les hommes, et il a connu de nombreux changements afin de le rendre plus moderne et plus pratique.
Il ya aussi la takchita, qui se compose d'D'fina, dans lequel nous pouvons trouver beaucoup de couleurs, et T'htya, dans lequel nous pouvons trouver une seule couleur. Il est la djellaba ainsi, qui a également assisté à de nombreuses touches modernes.
En plus de cela, nous pouvons trouver des vêtements amazighs, comme le ahayk, la tabizart, la tatrft ou la laktib et, enfin, nous avons le mlahfa, ce qui est fréquent chez les femmes sahraouies et qui couvre tout le corps sauf le visage et les mains .
Une caractéristique très spécifique de vêtements traditionnels marocains est l'utilisation de la broderie dans la décoration et de différents types de soie et des couleurs vives pour les femmes, ainsi que l'utilisation de couleurs qui expriment soi-disant courage et l'autorité pour les hommes.
Donc, les gens marocains donnent une grande importance à leurs vêtements traditionnels, car ils reflètent leur identité, qui est inhérente à leur existence. Vous êtes tous invités à découvrir le Maroc à travers ses vêtements traditionnels, qui sont un miroir de la compétence, de bon goût et le savoir-faire des artisans marocains.
Une fois au Maroc, vous pouvez séjourner dans l'un des riads à Marrakech fantastique, juste à côté des souks, où vous pouvez trouver toutes sortes de vêtements traditionnels marocains, ou dans un hôtel à Marrakech, qui ont leurs propres boutiques marocaines. Vous pouvez également séjourner dans une belle villa à Marrakech, au plus près des zones rurales, où les habitants vous accueilleront à bras ouverts.

Tips for Women Travelers
Tips for Women Travelers
Encountering unwanted attention from Moroccan men is unfortunately a possibility for female travelers. The relative lack of social interaction between the sexes in Morocco results in men having little exposure to women other than their immediate family. They often see Western women as not being bound by Morocco's social restrictions, and perhaps have a not-so-respectful assumption of them via easily accessible Internet pornography. This assumption of availability emboldens the Moroccan male to make advances on female travelers that he would never attempt with Moroccan women. This generally takes the form of catcalls and straight-up come-ons. Blonde women may be singled out, and women traveling alone generally receive more attention than most.
Women on the receiving end of nonphysical sexual harassment should do what Moroccan women do: Ignore it. Showing confidence and self-assurance also seems to deter a lot of would-be Romeos. I've often explained the situation to female travelers by comparing the male harasser to your 13-year-old brother -- full of bravado and not much else, especially when isolated from his friends. What you are basically trying to project is that you wish to be treated with the same respect and standards as Moroccan women, who regularly put up with catcalls but will never stand for anything more, especially unwanted physical attention such as groping. Should this happen, make a scene, and Moroccans around you will come to your assistance and often strongly admonish your attacker. If you're in one of the major medinas, ask for the Brigade Touristique.
Dressing modestly -- a long skirt and loose, long-sleeve shirt -- can help. Having said that, I've seen Western women wearing jellabahs (the traditional robe worn by local women) on the receiving end of lewd comments. Traveling with a male can help you avoid verbal harassment; however, be prepared to call him your "husband" on occasions.
All of this sounds terribly negative, but most women never receive any harassment and are nothing but glowing in their praise for the respect shown to them. Try not to be paranoid or aggressive toward all Moroccan men. It's extremely rare for harassment to go any further than the odd catcall or lewd remark. If you do need to escape at any time, head for the nearest salon de thé (upmarket teahouse) or cafe-restaurant (but not the local all-male cafe) to gather yourself.
Check out the award-winning website Journeywoman (www.journeywoman.com), a "real-life" women's travel-information network where you can sign up for a free e-mail newsletter and get advice on everything from etiquette to safety. The travel guide Safety and Security for Women Who Travel by Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer (Travelers' Tales Guides), offering common-sense tips on safe travel, was updated in 2004.
Girls vs. Boys -- While my male author addresses the issues faced by women travelers, I feel it's important to share my own Morocco experiences (as this guide's editor and a woman) and prepare females (particularly young women traveling alone or together) for the attention they will receive from local men. Young Moroccan men can be charmers, and you'll likely make male friends along your journey. However, be wary of large crowds (Gnaoua & World Music Festival) or congested medinas, where young men sometimes get carried away and forget the rules of decorum. It is without question (no matter what you wear) that you will get your fair share of catcalls (think of the stereotypical construction worker), which can be avoided (I find) by putting on a serious face and walking with purpose, and otherwise simply ignored. In the event that the harassment is elevated (groping, following, aggressive profanity), do not hesitate to use the same defense you would at home (yelling, pushing away, and so on), and identify the offender to the Brigade Touristique if possible. The chance of this happening is rare and should not scare you from visiting a country that I truly love (despite my few bad experiences), and remember that just because you're a visitor doesn't mean you have to put up with actions that make you uncomfortable. -- Anuja Madar

How Do Moroccan Women Dress?
How Do Moroccan Women Dress?
Moroccan women dress in traditional costume to modern western clothing.
The north African country of Morocco was made famous by films such as "Casablanca" and authors such as Paul Bowles. A predominately muslim country, Morocco appeals to travelers who want to experience a completely different culture than the west, according to Lonely Planet. A country with beaches in Essaouira, the High Atlas Mountains and the sand dunes of the Sahara desert, traditional Moroccan women dress according to the climate and their religion.

Traditional
Traditional women wear jellabas or djellabas, long-sleeved kaftan-like dresses. The jellaba reaches down to the ankles and has a pointed hood. It secures with buttons or zippers in the front. There may be side-slits near the ankles for easy walking. The materials may be linen, silk or cotton. Traditional colors may be simple stripes in light cream with white or feminine colors like pinks and purples. Traditional women also wear head scarves or hijab to conform with Islamic religious codes.
Modern
Modern young Moroccan women dress similarly to western women in American and Europe, according to the BBC. Jeans and T-shirts are worn like other young women in non-Islamic countries, and these young women do not wear the traditional headscarves like older women. Some women may opt for modern dress with a headscarf. Also, many women may wear modern clothing but in a reserved fashion. They wear long pants or skirts with long sleeves, rather than shorter skirts or sleeveless blouses.

Mixing Modern with Traditional
Many women also wear the traditional jellabas or djellabas in updated fabrics and patterns. According to the Huffington Post in 2009, the jellabas was strictly men's clothing until 1956 when Morocco had its independence from France. Many younger-generation women wear jellabas with vibrant prints such as leopard print or in bright colors. The cuts of the jellabas are also thinner, which make them more form-fitting. Women wear these newer styles of jellabas with and without head scarves.
Berber
The Berbers are a large minority group in Morocco who are not Arabs, according to Al-Bab. They tend to live in the rural areas, such as the High Atlas mountains, and speak different dialects. Their traditional dress is different than other Moroccan women. Traditionally Berber women were tattooed, cut bangs in their hair and wore beads, especially amber and cowrie shells which protect them from the evil-eye, according to the book, "Amazigh Arts in Morocco: Women Shaping Berber Identity." Berber women also wear embroidered head scarves or veils called tahruyt. Young women do not cover their faces like older married women, and all women wear long ankle-length dresses in white or indigo.

What to Wear for a Female Traveling in Morocco
As a woman traveling in Morocco, you want to strike a balance between appropriate modesty and easy comfort. You can model yourself after modern Moroccan women, who may whiz by you on motor scooters, clad in loose tunics and headscarves that catch the breeze. In other cities, you may see women wearing the hejab, or the ankle-length djellaba. Wearing lightweight, modest clothing is key to feeling comfortable, avoiding unwanted attention and respecting the local culture.
Items you will need
Long skirt or pants
Loose-fitting shirts, with sleeves
Close-toed walking shoes
Headscarf (optional)
Djellaba (optional)

Step 1
Dress modestly first. A long skirt or pants are most appropriate, with a loose-fitting shirt -- such as a breezy tunic -- on top. Wearing a traditional robe with a headscarf can help you blend in; inexpensive djellabas are available in many local shops. Even if men see that you're a foreigner, they may assume you have been in the country for a long time if you're wearing local traditional clothing. This may or may not deter lewd comments, but at least you'll receive fewer curious gazes.
Step 2
Cover your head with a headscarf for added modesty. Though not necessary, this can help you blend in with local women. If you have blonde or red hair, a headscarf can help you avoid unwanted attention from men who may follow or harass foreign women. Modern Moroccan women wear fashionable headscarves in a variety of patterns and colors that complement their outfits; you can mix and match to look fashionable, too.
Step 3
Dress for the weather second. Temperatures in the winter are comfortably mild, typically between 40 and 60 degrees F. In the summer, temperatures can rise to almost 100 degrees F. Long skirts, lightweight pants and T-shirts keep you comfortable without sacrificing modesty. Take a light jacket or loose-fitting sweater to keep off the winter chill.
Step 4
Wear lightweight walking shoes that you've broken in before the trip. Though sandals are smart choices for hot weather, the streets are sometimes unclean, making shoes that cover your toes advisable.
Step 5
Tie your hair up for optimal modesty and comfort in the heat. Though loose-flowing hair is acceptable, you'll likely receive less unwanted attention if you tie your hair back.
TIP
Take a headscarf when visiting mosques. Cover your shoulders with the scarf throughout the mosque, and blanket your head with it if prompted in certain areas.
WARNING
Avoid shorts and skirts that are knee-length or shorter because they can attract unwanted male attention.

Princess Lala Salma, topping the list of Moroccan female ambassadors of Kaftan, has always elegantly stood out of the crowd, dressed in refined Kaftan designs on a myriad of important ceremonies abroad, ranging from the crowning of a royal figure to an international conference on women’s rights.
It is no coincidence that the traditional Moroccan Kaftan continues to appeal to leading female figures in the world, even to those who have a sophisticated sense of fashion and modernity. The intricate attire, with its dazzling colors, composite designs and refined tissues easily espoused modern trends of fashion, thus astounding both fans of modernity and tradition in clothing.
Who could believe that Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez, American’s international diva singers, who have for so long been engrossed in Western trends of fashion, would wind up falling in love with a traditional attire from the other sphere of the earth?
Who could believe that the most beautiful representative stars of the Arab world, the likes of Asala Nasri, Cherine, Ahlam and Diana Hadad would be attracted to the Moroccan attire while their cultures have their own distinctive traditional attires?
Credit has to be given ultimately to the tremendous efforts put into practice by Moroccan traditional designers. Kaftan’s current universal appeal will always be indebted to the professionalism and dedication of thousands of professional, traditional Moroccan designers. Kaftan’s early life kicked off in their romantic, humble shops, where handmade divinities were created.

Moroccan suit comes in varying aspects across regions and despite some similarities, the urban clothing is different from the campaigns. In past years, the art has undergone a dress sometimes barely perceptible change in the countryside, but striking in cities.
Less varied than the costume of rural women, the traditional costume of urban is characterized by the simplicity of the dress from outside (haik and jilbab) and the wealth of the coat interior (caftans and gandoura). Like other components of the costume city, the jilbab has undergone over the past four decades important changes. If it keeps the same overall structure, it has lost, except among conservative women or of a certain age, the severity of cuts and sober colors debut.

The caftan is worn in various regions around the world garment
The caftan is worn in various regions around the world garment: Central Asia, Persia (which included present-day Iran and other states), India under the Mughal dynasty founded by Babur, some independent states of the current Italy as the Republic of Venice, the Umayyad Empire and Ottoman Empire. The term actually covers a wide variety of long tunics exist or existed at different times.
Other spellings exist, such as caftan kaftan or oldest, or khaftan qaftan1. The French word is a transliteration of a Turkish name itself borrowed from Persian.
Caftans are defined by a number of things in common: they are often long and detailed, straight or slightly crossed, long or semi-long sleeves, no collar or hood and open in the middle, along their entire length (with or without buttons). However, each nation or people who built the caftan dress in his heritage has given it its own at the cut button, fabrics, colors, embroidery, ornaments and patterns, hence the appearance caftans Persian, Mughal, Venetian, Turkish, Slavic Algerian or Moroccan.
The geographical spread of Islam has contributed to its spread and its gradual transformation over the centuries and in different countries and cultures. The current Arab-Muslim world has been crossed by trade caravans bringing with them a variety of products, the pilgrimage to Mecca, a city which was already before the arrival of Islam in a city of trade and pilgrimages , further intensifies meetings and exchanges between people from Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Europe. However, Islam does not mean that all people automatically converted adopted the caftan, whose compositions differ hierarchical and social positions, some Berber populations or ethnic groups have thus retained their traditional clothes.
Gradually, the old caftans producing nations have abandoned in favor of more fashionable outfits, often those of the dominant cultural power. However, the legacy of Mauro-Andalus caftans installed in Morocco persist in this country where craftsmen of Meknes, Fez, Rabat and Tetouan keep the know-how required for their manufacture, and the first written mention the Moroccan caftan date from the sixteenth century. Nowadays, the term is used to describe a long garment ceremonial traditionally worn by Moroccan women and revisited by designers for this tunic revive in new forms.

What type of clothes do Morocco people wear?
Having worked in Morrocco I can tell you that most of the people there wear long (to the ground) robes with either hoods or no hoods. Some wear regular clothing underneath, some choose not too.
When I was working there I purchashed what looks like a long piece of fabric with arm holes on one end. The edges of the fabric were finished with ornate trim work. To wear it, you lay the fabric out on the floor and straddle over it. You slip your arms into the armholes (like you would a jacket). You then walk to the end of the fabric (without the armholes) and you it up and place it around your chest (like a halter). There is a string on either side of this end that you tie behind your back - the armhole section of fabric will cover the ties.
Once this has been put in place on your body, you simply gather it together at the front and use a tie belt to secure it. mine came with a white, braided, silk rope.
I was a little skeptical at first, but had to have it. The material is 'filmy' almost see through, but once you have it on you cannot see through it at all. I was told that this particular garment is very popular among the locals during the summer months to battle the intense heat whilst remaining covered up.
Once the garment is on you it looks almost like you're wearing "Genie Pants" with a matching top. I get a lot of compliments on it.
During the winter months, the fabrics that the robes are made out of remind me of horse blankets - heavy cotton twills and wools. Most slip over the head, others have a half zipper down the front.
Hope you found this helpful.
Women are best to wear loose fitting clothes that cover most of the body
What you wear reflects your social status in Morocco probably more than anything else. Even those with the least financial means will dress as smart as they can.
Clothes are also often used as a statement about your view on life. For example, Moroccans with a more "western" attitude shun beards and traditional garments like the djellaba exactly because these are the favorite attributes of devout muslims.
Tourists
The ground rule for foreign visitors is: you can wear anything you like, provided you are willing to face the consequences. Flaunting the local dresscodes may result in anything from innocent sniggering by Moroccans to seriously offending people.
Let's separate the fashion bloopers from the cultural misjudgments.
For men, wearing anything that can be perceived as underwear in public will cause some good-spirited grins. Moroccans love to joke about the lack of style of the archetypal "German tourist", wearing shorts, an old t-shirt, hiking boots with knee-high socks and a guide book.
Less appreciated is walking around showing your bare chest. This is considered not just poor taste, but also offensive. You should always keep your shirt on, except of course on the beach or at a swimming pool. This rule also applies to hotel corridors, seaside terraces and under the sweltering sun of the desert.
Men who strip down completely in public will cause extreme offence, even in bathhouses ("hammams").
Women tourists walk a much tighter rope in Morocco. Not only does what's acceptable vary between the cities and rural areas, invidual reactions to more "modern" clothes differ widely.
Like Moroccan women who wear revealing clothes, foreign women doing so will attract a lot of attention from men. The constant hisses, whistles and remarks can become very tiresome, even if you manage to follow the example of Moroccan women and consistently ignore the comments. You should seriously assess whether this burden weighs up to any right you feel you have to wear whatever you like.
Many women planning to travel to Morocco only consider the reactions their clothing may provoke in men. In the countryside, however, you may be faced with downright hostility from other women. Fortunately, such aggression is not widespread and occurs mainly south of Marrakech and in the mountains.
In short, it pays for women tourists to adhere to the more conservative dresscode in Morocco. Loose fitting clothes covering most of your body will shield you (at least partly) from unwanted attention. As an added benefit, such clothes also protect you from the heat.
Of course, you can be too zealous in your efforts to fit in. Hardly any woman in Morocco wears the burka, the all-covering dress seen in Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan. Plus, a foreign woman wearing a headscarf will attract just as much attention as when she would be wearing hotpants.
Which brings us to the greatest fashion no-no for tourists: Do not wear traditional local clothes if you want to keep a glimmer of credibility. Kaftans, djellabas and the like are beautiful and very comfortable, no doubt about that, but tourists wearing them look... well, stupid.
Should you insist on going "ethnic", stay away from the more ornately decorated garments. These are only intended for special occasions and you would definitely look out of place wearing them in the streets.
Men
Moroccan men are generally very style-conscious and can spend considerable time grooming and dressing. They won't leave the house unless their clothes are clean, ironed and as smart as they can afford.
Showing skin is seen as a lack of style. Tank tops, shorts and flipflops are considered underwear. Great to wear at home, but not in the streets, unless you're going out to find a game of football or to take a swim.
The same goes for shoes. Even in summer, men prefer wearing closed shoes, worn with at least ankle-high socks. Shoes are polished regularly to get rid of the dust and sand, and many Moroccans won't travel without a tin of shoe polish.
Brands play a big role in a man's decision what clothes to buy. Those who can afford them, will buy genuine designer clothes. Others go for imitations, happily pointing out that Morocco is the "king of counterfeit". Indeed, most "brands" you will find in Morocco are fakes, from Adidas sports shoes to Duracell batteries. Even Ikea (called Kitea in Morocco) is copied illegally.
Cultural values, inspired by religious teachings, impose some restrictions on what a man can wear. Silk clothes, for example, are considered effeminate and too luxurious for men. The same goes for gold jewelry, although you will see lots of Moroccan men wearing discreet gold necklaces. Earrings, piercings and tattoos are deemed "gay" and are only worn by the young, urban "punk" generation as they are firmly anti-establishment.
The same cultural values dictate that a man's hair must be short and well-groomed. Long, dyed or messy hair is sneered at. Moroccans even have a word for such haircuts: M'shekek. With hair like that, a Moroccan man is never going to find a job. Again, only the "punk" youth will let their hair grow, dye it or have patterns shaven into it.
Beards are very much a religious statement in Morocco. Citing the prophet Muhamed, islamic scholars will stress the importance of growing a beard. But ever since lavish facial hair became the essential accessory for islamic militants, the beard has become associated with fundamentalist religious views. So much so, that sporting one now brands a man an "extremist" and may even cause suspicion at police roadblocks.
In general, only devout muslims will grow a full beard. The mustache, another prerequisite for a muslim, is a less contentious issue in Morocco, and a "boucle", or goatee, is quite popular with Moroccans.
Traditional garments, like the kaftan and djellaba, have fallen out of fashion partly because of the same association with religious views that beards have acquired. More importantly, though, traditional attire is considered "old-fashioned" in Morocco. Kaftans, djellabas and fez hats are now mostly worn by older men.
Only on special occasions, such as weddings and religious festivals, will younger men show a sudden preference for these typical Moroccan clothes.
Women
Moroccan women, like men, take great care of their appearance. Dirty, ragged or crumpled clothes are an absolute sign of poverty.
What is acceptable to wear in public for a woman is much more regulated by social and cultural values than is the case with the dresscode for men. In more rural areas, social control is stronger and traditional values still resist foreign influences, such as the ubiquitous soap operas.
In the countryside, shows like "The Bold and the Beautiful" (called "Top Model" in Morocco) serve as ominous proof of all that's wrong with western values. The same programs are eagerly watched in urban households as shining examples of modern living, influencing fashion and women's attitudes.
One of the traditional rules is that a "decent" woman will not display her beauty to any man, except the one she is married to. This means that many Moroccans, men and women, expect women to wear loose-fitting clothes that cover as much of the body as possible.
Showing skin or wearing anything that emphasizes the female forms is frowned upon. Some people will take it as a sign that the woman wearing such "revealing" clothes is "easy", some may even take her for a prostitute, but most will just regard her as vulgar.
The same is true for a woman who wears make-up or dyes her hair. Many claim that the only reason for the use of cosmetics is to make yourself more attractive to men, which is not a "decent" thing to do. Others consider it an unnecessary "masking" of the natural beauty of a woman.
Despite the stigmas, many "modern" Moroccan women will wear "western"-style clothes. Go out into any street of a large Moroccan city and you will see many women wearing tight shirts that reveal anything from the shoulder to the belly-button, short skirts and very close fitting jeans. Make-up and blond hair are very much in fashion, although most women will not use cosmetics during the month of Ramadan.
Moroccan women who dress "modern" perfectly illustrate the paradox of Moroccan society. While they attract some admiration from other women for having the guts to be progressive, more traditional women will scorn them for breaking the rules and leaning dangerously towards "western decadence".
Men, of course, have a lot of admiration for women dressing anything but modestly, allbeit not for any contribution to the feminist cause. Men will gaze, whistle and hiss at women who dress after the "western" fashion. The women, in return, ignore this attention with contempt for such an "old-fashioned" attitude in men.
When I was working there I purchashed what looks like a long piece of fabric with arm holes on one end. The edges of the fabric were finished with ornate trim work. To wear it, you lay the fabric out on the floor and straddle over it. You slip your arms into the armholes (like you would a jacket).

One of the traditional rules is that a "decent" woman will not display her beauty to any man, except the one she is married to. This means that many Moroccans, men and women, expect women to wear loose-fitting clothes that cover as much of the body as possible.
Showing skin or wearing anything that emphasizes the female forms is frowned upon. Some people will take it as a sign that the woman wearing such "revealing" clothes is "easy", some may even take her for a prostitute, but most will just regard her as vulgar.
The same is true for a woman who wears make-up or dyes her hair. Many claim that the only reason for the use of cosmetics is to make yourself more attractive to men, which is not a "decent" thing to do. Others consider it an unnecessary "masking" of the natural beauty of a woman.
Despite the stigmas, many "modern" Moroccan women will wear "western"-style clothes. Go out into any street of a large Moroccan city and you will see many women wearing tight shirts that reveal anything from the shoulder to the belly-button, short skirts and very close fitting jeans. Make-up and blond hair are very much in fashion, although most women will not use cosmetics during the month of Ramadan.
Moroccan women who dress "modern" perfectly illustrate the paradox of Moroccan society. While they attract some admiration from other women for having the guts to be progressive, more traditional women will scorn them for breaking the rules and leaning dangerously towards "western decadence".
Men, of course, have a lot of admiration for women dressing anything but modestly, allbeit not for any contribution to the feminist cause. Men will gaze, whistle and hiss at women who dress after the "western" fashion. The women, in return, ignore this attention with contempt for such an "old-fashioned" attitude in men.
