What to Wear in Tangier — The Complete PP Wardrobe
Tangier is the most internationally storied city in Morocco — the port at the northern tip, the former international zone where Paul Bowles wrote, where the Casbah drops to the beach and the Strait of Gibraltar connects Europe to Africa.
The cultural dress context. Tangier's public areas expect covered shoulders and legs. A PP linen shirt fully buttoned with linen trousers is both culturally appropriate and the most breathable natural fabric combination in Tangier's summer heat.
“Tangier is the most internationally storied city in Morocco — the port where Paul Bowles wrote and the Rolling Stones retreated, where the Casbah drops to the beach and Africa meets Europe across the Strait.”
— Pieter Petros, founderFor El Minzah Hotel. The historic luxury hotel on Rue de la Liberté — a Leading Hotels of the World member, with the Graham Greene and Winston Churchill connections, the Moorish courtyard. White PP linen for the hotel pool and garden; a navy PP linen shirt with linen trousers and leather shoes for the El Minzah restaurant evening.
For the Casbah. The old fortress at the highest point of the medina — the palace museum, the panoramic view across the Strait to Spain. Covered dress throughout; a PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers.
For the Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules. The lighthouse at the northwestern tip of Africa — where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. A PP linen shirt in white or a warm natural with linen trousers for the headland visit.
