The cultural dress context. Fes is a conservative Islamic city — covered shoulders and legs throughout the medina. A PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for men; a PP women's linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers for women. Earth-tones connect to the terracotta and ochre of the medina most directly.

For Riad Fes. The most celebrated luxury riad in Fes — the restored 19th-century palace with the rooftop terrace above the medina. White PP linen for the riad courtyard; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the riad restaurant evening.

For the tanneries. The Chouara tannery — the most photographed sight in Fes, visible from the leather goods shops above the dyeing vats. A PP linen shirt in a warm earth tone with linen trousers. The polychrome dye vats reward warm natural colourways.

For the Al-Qarawiyyin and the medina souqs. The 9th-century university mosque (exterior only for non-Muslims), the Attarine medresa, the covered souqs. Covered dress throughout; a PP linen shirt in white with linen trousers and leather shoes.

For the Bou Inania Medresa. The most finely decorated madrasa in Morocco — the carved cedar wood, the marble, the Moroccan tile. A PP linen shirt in white for the most visually composed wardrobe against the interior architecture.
