Yes, you can wear leggings. However, and especially in rural areas, pair leggings with a longer tunic length top that covers your butt.

Think Loose and FlowyAll things lightweight and full coverage is ideal—loose trousers or maxi skirts are perfect. A tunic dress or shirt with leggings or a full kaftan is great too. Not only does full coverage allow you to dress conservatively in Morocco, but it will also protect you from the sun.
In more conservative areas, such as rural villages or religious sites, it's important to cover up even more. Women should consider wearing a headscarf and covering their arms and legs. Men should avoid wearing shorts and tank tops. It's also important to consider the weather when choosing what to wear in Morocco.

While female travellers aren't expected to dress as conservatively as local women, it's still a good idea to pack clothing options that will allow you to cover up. In the main cities, you can get away with wearing pants or a skirt that reaches below the knee, and a short-sleeved t-shirt.
The basic “rules” are to cover your shoulders, knees, and chest. Most days I had my elbows covered, too, and made sure that my tops were long enough to cover my bum. Showing elbows is fine! Mostly Amazigh (Berber) men wear these head wraps in the desert, but tourist women sometimes opt to for fun, as well.
We would advise staying away from shorts. We would aim for the shortest pants to be mid-calf or capri length. If you choose the skirt option, just be aware that most Moroccan women will not be wearing short skirts.
Cover Your Chest and ShouldersWhile you do not need to cover your entire arms, it is highly recommended that you at least cover your shoulders. Tank tops or strapless shirts and dresses are not considered appropriate in the streets of Morocco. Again, you will experience a lot of harassment if you wear these items.
Skirts. As mentioned, showing too much leg is disrespectful so try and pack at least knee length skirts or a midi skirt which comes down quite far. Don't take anything that is going be to flowy and come below the ankle. It will just drag on the sandy, dusty ground and get very dirty very quickly.
Jeans are common as well, even tighter jeans, so it's still better to choose tight jeans than short shorts. Of course, you can choose to wear whatever you want whenever you want, but as we talked about before, you might get some looks that may make you feel uncomfortable.
Yes, tourists can wear jeans in Morocco. While flowy pants and dresses tend to be more comfortable due to the heat, don't be afraid to throw in your favorite pair of jeans if desired. I would still recommend wearing a long, flowy top with them.
Particularly against tourists, petty crime is prevalent in this area. Valuables should not be carried & jewelry that sparkle should be avoided. Leave your hotel with only the essentials, because pickpockets and muggings do happen. Leave your passport at the hotel and don't take it with you!
The laws says that all couples (Moroccan couple, Tourist couple or Mixed) are not permitted to share an hotel room without being married not only Moroccan with tourist. Some hotels turn a blind eye for tourists couples, even some Riads for all but to be honest not Respectable Riads as you said.
You might think that wearing shorts in Marrakech is ok. Well, they are as long as they aren't booty shorts/ hot pants/ short shorts or anything that shows too much leg (short skirts are also a no-go)
Clothes to avoid in Morocco:Anything revealing – low cut tops or dresses that expose cleavage, thigh high splits in skirts, backless clothing, or short dresses or shorts. Aim to be a little more conservative, and cover your skin where you can.
Whatever you wear in Marrakech, never excessively reveal the body outside of the riad or hotel where you are staying. Cover décolletage, shoulders and thighs. It's not necessary for non-Muslim women to wear a hijab (a type of scarf covering the hair).
Women shouldn't show their cleavage. Dress more conservatively in rural areas. While it's generally more relaxed in the cities, count with more stringent rules if you go see the villages, especially in Morocco's South. There it's good to even wear a scarf on your head.
