What to wear in Morocco in March (for women and men)

There are times when packaging for a trip is something I do at the last minute and other trips when I start to shop and plan weeks in advance to make sure I need what I need. The packaging for Morocco was definitely the last.

If you were wondering what to wear in Morocco and you only look at influencers on Instagram, you would think you need fluid dresses to wear to climb the dunes of the desert and sexy bikinis to sit near the pool at the Riad. However, if you really want to integrate and be respecting culture, what you really need is pants, tunics or dresses that flow loose. Everything I didn’t have much about my wardrobe and certainly not with my teenager.

Add the different climates and activities to the mixture and establish a packaging list for Morocco required more reflection than an end of the night, throw things in the bag before an early start, type of preparation.

We visited Morocco in mid-March, which was the ideal time to go because it was not too hot, as you will find during the summer months, or too rainy, as you could find in winter. However, spring in Morocco always brings large temperature fluctuations for which you must be prepared.

When you plan your wardrobe for your trip, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• The shoulders should be covered, as well as the cleavage
• Skirts or pants should be below the knee
• The coward and the flow are the best, although you will see women, especially teenagers or younger girls, in leggings under long tunics
• If you wear tighter pants, make sure your shirt covers your bottom
• Wear comfortable shoes because the roads, especially in Medina, are uneven. You may also want to avoid flip flops because it can be very dusty so that your feet become fairly dirty. Personally, I relied on my Abeo on foot sandals, but I washed my feet a lot.
• Men do not wear shorts either, although you can see occasional tourists in long hiking shorts
• Do not forget to bring layers, the difference between being under the hot sun and between the cold walls of the medina can look like a temperature change of 15 degrees

Although these are directives in relation to the laws, I strongly recommend that they follow them to show respect for the country’s culture and avoid unwanted attention. The only place across the country where I saw tourists ignoring these standards was in Marrakech. I was quite surprised to see a certain number of courtesy, tank top, short shirts and short and tight skirts, on tourists who were walking in the souk.

As a Muslim country, local women will usually have covered hair and will wear cowardly tunics or longer dresses and dresses. You will see an occasional burqa, but this is not the norm.

Older men usually wear a jellaba, a full length dress with a pointed hood. Although young men, adolescents and boys usually wear jeans and t-shirts.

Although I am not an Instagram model, I tried to remember to take pictures of each of my outfits to give you some ideas. Unlike some, I try to show what the average woman can carry in Morocco.

What to wear in Chefchaouen

Keep in mind that each time you travel to Morocco, temperatures will vary depending on the part of the country you visit. For example, when we were in Chefchaouen in the North, there were at least 20 degrees fresher than when we were in Marrakech.

Chiefchaouen’s temperatures were around 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 40-50 in the evening. I found the most comfortable to wear my jeans with a long -sleeved shirt on a camisole and garnished with a warm sweater that I could take or extinguish depending on that if I was in or out of the sun.

Certainly be ready to need a sweater or a warm jacket in the evening. Due to the cold and walking, you may also prefer a closed -end shoe, such as a relaxed sneaker.

What to wear in the fes

When you are in FES, the temperature is much colder in the medina than if you walk in the sun. There is a good chance that you are doing a lot of walking, so be sure to wear comfortable shoes.

The time we visited was in the 60s and 70s, and perhaps 10-15 degrees cooler at night. It was quite pleasant to sit near the swimming pool at Riad Fes an afternoon, but not really hot enough to dive into cold water.

Because we visit such traditional sites such as Medina, the synagogue and the outside of the Royal Palace, we have made sure to dress in an appropriate manner. I relied on my favorite travel pants (the Kate Skinny Pant of anatomy, which I have in three colors!)

I also found a very pretty tunic of J.Jill, and I often used a light sweater to cover and warm up. It is also useful to wrap a few light scarves because they add color, cover these V -shaped traps and can keep you warm when you need them. My daughter also loved joggers of athletics, because most of the people she carries otherwise are jeans or skinny leggings.

What to wear in the desert

If you head to the Erg Chebbi desert overnight in a Moroccan desert camp or a camel hike, you will want to dress comfortably for a very long day in the car. I would recommend hiking pants or joggers, and a hiking shirt or a light long -sleeved shirt. My daughter and I are both big fans of APHRODITE NORTH Pants (She has them below and I have them above.)

If you ride camels, you may want to wear pants and be a vest or shirt with pockets so that you can put your phone in it when you want to take photos. I tried to get on the camel with my camera without a mirror that collides around my hip and not only it was uncomfortable, but it was very difficult to get a pointed shot with the constant movement. My photos from my phone are better out. A bandana or a scarf can also help make blowing sand and don’t forget your sunglasses!

Keep in mind that you will arrive at sunset at sunset, so it will not make freshness and that the desert can become pretty cool at night, so bring a sweatshirt. The next morning, if you want to make sand or a hike, be sure to be prepared with flexible and light clothes. During our visit in March, the times of the desert were in the 70s (warmer in the sun) during the day and the 1940s and 50s per night.

Another advice: do not wear sneakers if you are going to climb the dunes. The sand is so integrated into them and your socks that it is impossible to get everything out.

What to wear in Marrakech

Marrakech is more an international and cosmopolitan city, so you may want to look a little more chic, especially if you are staying in one of the station’s hotels. It is also much hot in Marrakech. Even in the spring, expect temperatures in the 80s. According to our experience, the temperature has not dropped as much in the evening as some of the other judgments our two-week Moroccan trip.

If you go out to dinner in the evening, you may want to wear a maximum dress, a long skirt, more pleasant pants or even a combination. Do not forget to bring something to throw on your shoulders.

I hope this has given you some ideas on what to wear in Morocco in March. Do not forget: loose pants and shirts or fluid dresses for women and girls, hiking pants and shirts or t-shirts for guys and boys with a few warmer layers will take you away!
