Appropriate Dress for a Teenage Girl in Turkey?

Hi! I'm a seventeen year old girl from the U.S. who was lucky enough to get an internship to Ankara, Turkey! I'll be going during the summer, from June to August, and I'll be working in a scientific lab with many city excursions plus some excursions to outer-lying, remote villages which I'm guessing will be significantly more conservative. What sort of dress would be appropriate? Thanks in advance!Appropriate Dress for a Teenage Girl in Turkey?
Sarah- You are going there in summer so it will be quite warm in Ankara.


Do you have a pair of Jeans, nice capri pants, nice summer skirts take them with you. Also you need a few pairs of t-shirts and might need dress shirts and a pair of dress pants incase if you are invited to an event.


That's all you will need. Take a few pair of shorts to wear on the weekends.Appropriate Dress for a Teenage Girl in Turkey?
You can wear anything ( not including eastern region ) you wish in western cities (city centre). Also its OKAY to wear anything you wish along the seashores. But inner parts of Turkey are a little bit conversative its not something to hide. ( in rural areas ). Probably they wouldnt say something bad in any case but i think you wouldnt be happy with the villagers staring at you. So try not to wear mini shorts and skirts. Jeans are okay in any area including east and west. If you visit east, and they stare at you, dont worry they will probably just stare and say a few bitter sweet words. No harrasment!





But i think you will go to the villages around Ankara and yes they are conversative.
Here's something I found on it:

dress as in europe and when in rural areas dress as you might when visiting your grandma.
Just wear your jeans and a t-shirt when you go to remote villages
