Roman clothing
Most people wore clothes made from wool or linen. 
Cotton cloth brought from India and silk from China were 
also used for making clothes, but they were too 
expensive. 
Fur was also used, especially in winter. 
Clothes were usually made from large, 
uncut pieces of cloth, which were folded 
and pinned with pins, or tied with belts.
A man´s basic clothing was a loincloth 
(underwear) and a tunic over it. 
Tunics were made from two rectangles 
stitched at the sides and shoulders, and 
tied with a belt. 
When the weather was cold, they wore 
three or four tunics at a time! 
Ordinary men wore 
tunics in various 
colours. 
People in rural areas 
wore cloaks.
If he were a citizen, he would also wear a toga. 
A toga was a large piece of cloth wrapped round the 
body. 
Togas were normally white, but other colours were also 
worn. There were brightly coloured togas for parties ans 
special occasions and dark togas for mourning. 
A senator´s toga had a purple band and the emperor´s 
toga was purple with gold. 
Many people disliked the toga because it was very heavy 
and difficult to clean.
Over the underwear, women wore a tunic 
made of wool or linen, with our without 
sleeves. 
Over this they wore a dress called stola, 
which reached their ankles. 
They sometimes wore a shawl, called the 
palla, on top. It was a large rectangular piece 
of cloth which they 
could drape over the stola 
in many ways. 
Slaves preparing their 
mistress for a party.
Women wore make-up. 
It was supposed to be beautiful to look very pale. This 
was probably to show that you were rich enough not to 
have to work outdoors. 
They coloured their lips with red. 
Rich women spent lots of time and money in their 
hairstyles. They had slaves to do their hair for them. 
They wore different hairstyles with plaits, curls and 
waves.
Jewellery 
Rings were the most common item of jewellery. They 
were worn both by women and men. 
Roman women wore gold chains and necklaces. The 
most prized precious stones were pearls. 
Most also wore earrings.
Most girls and boys wore tunics like those of their 
parents. 
At about the age of 14, there was a special ceremony 
and children began wearing adult clothes.
They had different kinds of shoes. 
Women wore elegant sandals, but a soldier´s boots were 
studded with nails. That way he didn´t wear the out when 
marching. 
Shoes were usually made of leather.
