Moroccan style is heavily influenced by European and Arab countries with more risk-taking looks.
Moroccan fashion has become a mix of traditional styles with modern looks. For example, girls often wear hijabs and are Instagrammable. Traditional pieces of clothing are becoming funkier and more colorful, as creativity and style showcase strength and pride in the Moroccan culture. While djellabas and kaftans are common pieces of clothing, Moroccan style is heavily influenced by European and Arab countries with more risk-taking looks.

Amine Bendriouich (Marrakech)
81, Derb Nkhal،, Rahba Lakdima, Marrakesh 40030, Morocco
Amine Bendriouich puts a unisex spin on his colorful clothing. He loves geometric patterns and wears and designs clothing disregarding gender. As Bendriouich explains, there is historical account for unisex dressing:
“There’s this story in the Sunnah about a man and wife so poor they only owned one piece of cloth. If he had to go out to the mosque, his wife would stay home unclothed until he came back. She would then wear the same cloth to the mosque upon his return. The Prophet wasn’t shocked by this man wearing the same piece of cloth as his wife; he was saddened, though, that they were in such a situation of need. What they were wearing didn’t matter. So why does it matter today?”
Ultimately, Bendriouich says he creates a world for “free-spirited people who see the world as one.”
