OK! What about Women?
Some women do dress like this. However, they are a minority; and the material is colorful not black. You can see women wearing the traditional jellaba as well as modern, western clothing-mostly on the more casual side. And there are a lot of tourists; so at least in the large cities, Moroccans are accustomed to what Americans and Europeans wear. In the Berber villages of the mountains, a woman without a head scarf is the equivalent of going topless. It's also considered indecent for men to wear shorts. But with so much trekking and no part of Morocco really undiscovered by outsiders, mountain Berbers no doubt have at least seen such dress a time or two. The vast majority of tourists are French. Not too many Americans these days. They don't know what they're missing.
