What to wear in Morocco

What to wear in Morocco

I'm sure this has been done before but I couldn't find a post dedicated to it alone.

There seems to be quite a bit contradictory information about how to dress. This is what I have gathered...

Men
Should dress smart & not show skin (no sleeveless tops, shorts and flipflops).

Closed shoes? 

What about T-shirts - are they ok?

Women
It's less strict in cities but to avoid unwanted attention... 
No low cut tops - but how low is low? Is it ok to show some skin if no cleavage is show?

No tight clothing - but hw tight is tight? Must it be baggy?

No arms or legs on display at all.

What about sandals - if worn with long skirt ankles will show...

No make-up - how bad is to wear it then?

However then it gets confusing because it says

Despite the stigmas, many "modern" Moroccan women will wear "western"-style clothes. Go out into any street of a large Moroccan city and you will see many women wearing tight shirts that reveal anything from the shoulder to the belly-button, short skirts and very close fitting jeans. Make-up and blond hair are very much in fashion

What about covering the head with a shawl? Some sites (& posters here) say yes you should especially if you have blond hair. Others say it is completely unnecessary.

How different is how a woman is treated if she is with her husband (which is what I will be), alone or with a girlfriend?
