Jordan is a free country and I am always dressed up freely unless you are visiting religious locations which I assume is a common behavior between most religions. On top of that Jordan is very safe for women travelers from all over the world.

Cleavage is a big no-no here. Tuck a scarf in your purse or backpack in case you end up in a more conservative area of town and want to throw it around your shoulders. If you plan on entering a mosque at anytime during your stay a scarf may come in handy as you might want to cover your head. As mentioned above, it is always best to opt for long pants. In the hot summer months go for a thin cotton blend instead of jeans. At a resort anything goes, but at a public beach you may want to choose a modest suit.

Compared to neighboring countries Jordan is fairly relaxed when it comes to clothing. That said the dress codes in this country are still considered strict when you compare it to many Western countries.
Jordan is a very religious country and the majority of citizens here are Muslim. The people in Jordan also value appearances and have high expectations when it comes to clothing. In keeping with the respectable clothing policy, men should wear trousers when visiting Jordan. Whether you are in the city of Amman , exploring Petra or trekking the desert men should refrain from wearing shorts as it is seen as disrespectful.
Even in warm weather, light linen or cotton trousers can keep you feeling cool and comfortable so just make sure to pack trousers with materials that suit the weather. In Jordan tops that do not cover the shoulders are classed as underwear.
