Fashion In Morocco


Fashion in Morocco is considered a reflection of a person’s social standings. The Moroccans believe that the personal style and the clothes they wear give an insight into their life.


Traditional Fashion in Morocco:
Morocco’s traditional outfit is called djellaba. It is a loose, full-sleeved, flowing gown, with a head cover. During special events men generally wear a cap, which is known as a tarbouche and their footwear consists of flat leather slippers called baboosh and are generally yellow in color. The women’s djellaba can be differentiated by its use of bright colors and its ornamentation consisting of beads and embroidery. These kaftans are quite expensive but the fashion conscious Moroccans especially the women are very fond of their traditional outfit and purchase at least one each year. Even with the western influence over Moroccan fashion, djellabas are still popular, and there is an unspoken law to wear it for all social and religious occasions, all festivals and especially during marriage ceremonies.

Fashion is Morocco is greatly affected by the culture of Morocco. They have certain stereotypes, for example men are Moroccans believe that men should have short hair, should not wear ornaments, and should grow beard and moustaches. However nowadays
‘Boucles’, or ‘goatees’, are more popular among the younger generation. In case of women skin show is an absolute no-no. Women who wear revealing clothes are considered loose-moraled or vulgar. Moroccans have somewhat similar prejudices attached to women wearing make up. However in spite of all this modern Moroccan fashion is adapting more and more to the western fashion and breaking free from the prejudices.

Moroccan clothes

Made in Rabat: What’s your outlook on the blogosphere (the world of Moroccan bloggers)?
Safia Tellal: The Moroccan style blogosphere is starting, little by little, to come out of its cocoon. For three years I was the only one, but in the last year and a half blogs are starting to flourish. Of course, it’s very limited, but it’s better than nothing, and since there aren’t that many of us, we need to organize small events to bring together bloggers.


Made in Rabat: Do you feel like a journalist?
Safia Tellal: Not at all. I believe that bloggers and journalists are disassociated. A blogger for me is a “perk”, a way to communicate, and a journalist is a profession that’s studied. Personally, and speaking as a blogger, I am free to speak about what I want, to criticize or not, I don’t have the same obligations as a journalist.
Made in Rabat: Do bloggers have a lot of power according to you?
Safia Tellal: In my opinion, yes, and many do. But not yet in Morocco. When I see bloggers create their own collections, and do the worldwide tour of fashion weeks, I dream, but I tell myself that we’re still very far away.
Made in Rabat: What would it take for you to stop blogging?
Safia Tellal: Nothing could make me stop blogging, I’m too attached to this space.
Made in Rabat: The majority of your posts show the clothes that you wear? How many pieces of clothing do you buy each month?
Safia Tellal: I’m a true shopaholic, I buy a lot, a lot of clothes, shoes and bags. Accessories the least. I couldn’t say exactly how many I buy because that depends, what I want, what I need, the season. But I would say four to five pieces per month.
