The clothing of men and women differed much less than in modern times, but it will be convenient to describe their garments separately. “Contact with the Greeks on the south and perhaps the Etruscans on the north gave the Romans a taste for the beautiful that found expression in the graceful arrangement of their loosely flowing robes. The mild climate of Italy and the hardening effect of physical exercise on the young made unnecessary the closely fitting garments to which we are accustomed. These articles varied in material, style, and name from age to age, it is true, but their forms were practically unchanged during the Republic and the early Empire. Harold Whetstone Johnston wrote in “The Private Life of the Romans”: “From the earliest to the latest times the clothing of the Romans was very simple, consisting ordinarily of two or three articles only, besides the covering of the feet.

The average roman would have worn tunics. Juvenal says this: “There are many parts of Italy, to tell the truth, in which no man puts on a toga until he is dead”.

But in fact, the toga was a very formal piece of clothing – to say that the Romans always wore togas would be the same as saying that the English always wear top-hats and tails. Jamie Frater wrote for Listverse: “When we think of Romans, we almost always imagine men in togas. The buttonhole was not widely used until the 13th century. The earliest ones were inserted into a loop of thread or fabric. Romans invented the earliest known button. A 1,600-year-old fresco found at a villa in Sicily showed a pair of bikini-clad women tossing a ball. Upper class women appear to have taken great pains in arranging the hair, and possessed a fondness for ornaments-necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and costly jewels. Roman toga Upper class Romans cared a great deal about the way they looked and could be quite fashion conscious.
