Morocco rewards a wardrobe that is considered in two directions simultaneously — the cultural context of the medinas and the mosques asks for modesty and covered shoulders; the luxury riads, the desert camps, and the Atlantic beach towns ask for elegant natural fabric in colourways that connect to the landscape. Natural linen manages both without requiring two separate wardrobes.

For the medinas — Marrakech, Fès, Essaouira. The covered souks, the mosques, the narrow derb lanes of the historic quarters — these contexts ask for covered shoulders and modest dress. A PP women's linen blouse in a warm earth tone or a sand natural with linen trousers and leather sandals or babouche slippers carries the medina correctly. Earth tones belong in the ochre and terracotta landscape of the Marrakech medina; lighter naturals belong in the whitewashed lanes of Essaouira.

For the luxury riads. The courtyard pool, the rooftop terrace, the morning breakfast — the interior spaces of the finest Moroccan riads are among the most beautiful in the world. A PP women's linen set in oyster or a warm natural at the riad pool; a deeper colourway for the evening dinner on the rooftop.

For the Atlas Mountains and desert. The Ourika Valley, the foothills of the Atlas, the edge of the Sahara at Merzouga — these are landscapes where natural earth tones in linen belong completely. A PP women's linen blouse in sand or warm natural, linen trousers for warmth in the cooler desert mornings and evenings.

For the Agadir and Essaouira Atlantic coast. The beach towns of Morocco's Atlantic coast have a more relaxed register than the imperial cities inland. A PP women's linen shirt in white or oyster over a swimsuit, leather sandals. The natural fabric that manages the Atlantic breeze and the beach context simultaneously.
