What is appropriate Clothing

In the US it is perfectly OK to wear sweat pants and a sweat shirt outside. This is not the case in Morocco. Even the poorest of Morocco dress up when going anywhere other than work. This includes going shopping or taking a walk down the street. You will find them wearing all the latest styles and brands. Even the ones in traditional Moroccan dresses wear fancy jilbabs outside. Bring several nice pairs of dress pants, dress shoes, and formal tops. It is best to choose nice but modest clothing that does not expose the breasts or anything above the knee. This will save you from awkward stares and disgust.

It is Not necessary to cover your head if that is not something you do. Morocco is a mix of people who cover their heads, and just as many people dont. Its a personal choice.
