OUTFIT: how to dress in Marrakech | Bikinis & Passports

OUTFIT: blush pink culottes + bomber jacket

When visiting Muslim countries, I feel that it is important to respect the local culture and religion. For us, the tourists, this usually means dressing the part and covering up. Personally, I find it absolutely cringe-worthy when I see other women dressed in hot pants and strappy shirts walk through the souks in Marrakech. I always try to pack accordingly and find a look that feels summery without showing too much skin. One of those looks was a pair of blush pink culottes, an airy blouse and a white bomber jacket, which I wore to visit the Madrasa Ben Youssef Marrakech, an old Islamic college.

Nobody expects you to wear a floor-length and long-sleeved dress, but something that covers the shoulders and knees shouldn’t be too hard to find. Of course, it wasn’t 40°C yet in Marrakech, but for 26°C and a sunny day, I loved this look! What do you guys think?

    I hate to admit it … this whole dress-thing actually works. I am madly in love with the sparkly version, especially when paired with my favorite stack of rings from Pandora and a simple, yet festive necklace! Reason enough to shoot a second look with the dress, right?

  1. Dies ist wirklich ein wunderschöner Look und auch sehr passend für Marrakech. Ich musste selbst im letzten Oktober erleben, wie Mädels in so knappen Hotpants und Bauchfrei durch die Stadt marschiert sind, so dass ich mich einfach nur geschämt habe. Man muss sich schließlich nicht komplett verhüllen, aber ein langer luftiger Rock oder eine Culottes sind angemessen und auch keineswegs zu warm.

  2. toller look. ich versuch auch immer mich passend zu kleiden. ich fand es in bangkok auch furchbar, als die ganzen mädels nur hot pants und bauchfreie tops anhatten, um die tempel zu besichtigen.
    ich bin in thailand sonst auch mit hot pants und tshirts herumgelaufen, aber für die tempel-besuche hab ich schon dafür gesorgt, dass ich lange, luftige hosen anhatte und ein lockeres tshirt mit längeren ärmeln.
    ich geh ja auch nicht mit hot pants bei uns in eine kirche …
