That’s why I am so concerned about the origion of our clothes that we are wearing in this modern age, the designers of those clothes have some inspirational factors behind the design the hug inspirational factor is ancient way of closing this is the ground derivation of evrey designed clothes people wearing in the ancient period are coming in the modern days witdesigning changes but with the same idea. about me I made some reading and searching about the ancient ways of closing in different part of the world and I try to relate it with the modern way of wearing

ancient Rome way of clothing

Ancient Rome public display and recognition of status were an essential part of having status. Much of Roman clothing was designed to reveal the social status of its wearer, particularly for freeborn men. In typical Roman fashion, the more distinguished the wearer, the more his dress was distinctively marked, while the dress of the lowest classes was often not maked at all.

The Roman man clothing

The traditional garment for the Roman man was Toga a semicircle of wool or lines, scrupulously white which could reach five meters in diameter and was draped around the body. This was a rather symbolic garment attuned to the gravitas to which Romans set such store but there is ample evidence as to it luck of comfort.

Roman men generally wore two garments, the tunica and the toga. The tunica was a short woolen under garment with short sleeves. By contrast, to wear a long tunic with long sleeves was considered effeminate and was generally avoided by society as a whole. It was originally worn mainly by the working class plebes, freedmen and slaves, though its function as an undergarment for any class of people is attested. As the toga was specifically meant as a public display garment, the tunica was also worn by any people within the comforts of their own homes. The tunic worn by patrician men was made from white wool or expensive linen, while the poor would wear whatever fabric was readily available

The,Tunic which hung down to the knees and was clinched, at the waist if climate so required this garment was topped by a mantel, fastened at the shoulder. The Toga was reserved for official occasions where it was obligatory in part because requisite decorations, a narrower, strip, for knights and the drapery indicated the rank and social status of the wearer.

The Roman women clothing

Roman women also wore tunica in much the same fashion as the men. There were two types, both adapted from Greek fashion. One, the peplos was made from two rectangular pieces of cloth partially sewn together on both sides with the open sections at the top folded down in the front and back. It was pulled over the head and fastened with two large pins, forming a sleeveless dress. A belt was then tied over or under the folds.

The women equivalent to Toga was the stola, a floor, length sleeveless garment worn over a tunic .If a women needed further protection from the elements the stola was covered by a large mantle Palla which could also go over the head .Women often wore a stola which was long dress with many folds.
