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. Drapery in Greek culture did not fold crisply like Egyptian
folds fell and the linen was not as stiff as the linen used in Egypt.

Greek garments were essentially the same for men and women and were not
shaped or fitted to the body but draped on the body in soft folds. There were four
types, which were all rectangles: the chiton (dress), Doric and Ionic over draperies,
the himation and the chlamys.

Doric ChitonA garment worn to the sixth century. It was of wool dyed
indigo, madder or saffron, frequently patterned, especially at the turn of
the fifth century. Its upper edge was folded over to hang down on the
breast; it was folded around the body, caught together on each shoulderby bins, leaving the arms uncovered, and though open down the right
side, was held in place by the girdle, over which it bloused.

Ionic Chiton
Of Phoenician origin. Most often seen in sources as a female garment. Itwas made of thin woolens, probably crepe-like, similar to materials still woven in Greece;
also of linen, or the gauzy materials from Cos in Asia Minor, patterned in murex (Tyrian)
purple. It was cut with ample width from two pieces, then sewn together along the top of
the extended arm, frequently pleated, and long, sometimes trailing. It was often sewn or
caught together all the way down the right side with the left side open. It was worn in
many way by both men and women, and particularly by musicians and charioteers. Thechiton was often worn with a short wrap the chalmydon.

HimationA rectangle of wool with weighted corners, slung over the left shoulder,
leaving the right arm free; or worn , by married women, with the corner over thehead like a shawl. Dorian older men wore it as their only garment (as did the
Athenians in their return to an earlier simplicity, in the third to second centuries,
B.C.) A man wearing the himation alone was alas adequately dressed. It served also
as a blanket. The colors were natural wool colors: white, natural, browns, and black;
or died scarlet, crimson or purple. The garment sometimes had woven patterns,
selvages, and embroidery.

Rustic dress was a more relaxed shorter version like these Grecian
folk shown left. The loose, relaxed, short Greek chiton was better
suited to working in the fields and tendering to the livestock.

Greek Soldiers didn't wear much clothing either. The basic parts of their attire was a tunic,
belt, a cape and sandals. The tunic was light weight and worn under their armour or down
the market streets. Their belts were used to tie the tunics closer to the body when armour
was not worn, and to hang their swords from. They wore light armour, making them fastand fierce during battle. The basic components of Greek armour were the front breastplate,
back plate, bracers and greaves. Most of the armour was made of bronze or of brass.
The Greek Corinthian helmet was made of bronze and covered the entire head and neck of
the soldiers. It had only small slits for the eyes and mouth, making it very hard for soldiers
to see and breath in the helmet.

Men wore their hair long at the beginning of Greek culture but it soon becamefashionable to have shorter hair with little facial hair. Older men would wear
mustaches with a shortly-trimmed beard and if a man had a mustache and no beard
they were not Greek. In the archaic period women wore their hair hanging in snaky
curls held by a fillet but as time passed women would wear their hair up and confined
in bag, kerchiefs or nets.
