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?

    With yesterday being a bank holiday, I had been looking forward to a long, lazy weekend in the sun all week. Well, guess someone didn’t finish their dinner, because it has been raining non-stop and there is basically no end in sight – until Sunday …which would be the end of our long weekend.

    Lace-up boots have been on my wishlist for years now, but for some reason they never really looked good on me and made my legs feel stubbed and even shorter than they are. (Maybe just my imagination talking, but still.) Then, when I spotted these Chloé Harper lace-up boots at the beginning of the season…

    There are a few pieces in my closet, that I absolutely love, but rarely wear because they are so “in your face”. For example my beloved leopard coat. It is a definite eye-catcher and I usually only wear it with an all black ensemble and sneakers, because I feel like there is a super thin…

  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 …
