During the ancient time of Greeks their was no fashion

Made of linen, cotton, or wool was woven in home. As the ancient Greek were very skilled in arts of weaving and embroidery
, we can tell that the fabrics were intensely colored and usually decorated with intricate designs. Greek clothing was made out of three types of materials. The first mostly used was wool which was woven from very coarse to very soft. They used linen grades from fine to very soft.
Clothing was not cit to fit and was usually made from a rectangle of wool or linen. Women wove the fabric on s loom in a loom in their homes. Ancient Greek clothing was easy to clean and store.
Clothing was simper and loose fitting, with few basic forms and much similarity between outfits worn by man and women.
Ancient Greek women wore long tunics called Chilton


Both the peplos and chiton were floor-length garments that were usually long enough to be pulled over the belt, creating a pouch known as a kolpos. Under either garment, a woman might have worn a soft band, known as a strophion, around the mid-section of the body.
. Men wore a shorter tunic called an Exomis Men in ancient Greece customarily wore a chiton similar to the one worn by women, but knee-length or shorter. An exomis (a short chiton fastened on the left shoulder) was worn for exercise, horse riding, or hard labor.
Clothing for women and men consisted of two main garments-a tunic (either a peplos or chiton) and a cloak (himation).
The himation (cloak) worn by both women and men was essentially a rectangular piece of heavy fabric, either woolen or linen. It was draped diagonally over one shoulder or symmetrically over both shoulders, like a stole.
