Types of ancient Roman clothing
The ancient Roman clothing was also an interesting subject to read about and it was great fun visualizing regarding the types of clothing worn in ancient Rome. Such is my love for ancient Roman clothing and fashion ideas that I always do have a pair of Roman sandals styled in different ways, which are stashed away inside my shoe rack! The Romans were known to have always used several types of fibers for creating the Roman clothes. This included wool, linen, hemp and certain researches have even revealed that cotton was also used by the Romans. The ancient Roman clothing was well structured and also flowing as well. If the ancient Roman clothing has always fascinated you then you can take a trip back into the days of the ancient Romans by reading about the different types of ancient Roman clothing mentioned below.
Ancient Roman Clothing:
Toga:
The toga was the standard dress for all Romans. This was a long sash like garment, which is about 6 meters in length. The toga was wrapped around the body and was made of wool. This kind of ancient Roman clothing found its base in the formal dress robe that was used by the Etruscans.
Stola:
The stola was only worn by the women in ancient Rome. The stola was created on similar lines of the toga.
Tunics/Tunica:
The Romans also wore garments that were known as the tunics or the tunica which were around knee length. These were long and resembled the Tee shirts because they were loose and comfortable and also made generally of linen. The unmarried women also wore the tunica but it was styled differently. The stola was draped over the tunica.
Cloaks:
One can see that the Romans also used a variety of cloaks that formed an important part of their attire. Cloaks such as the palla (worn over the tunic or the toga), the panenula (simple cloak), the laena (double coat) and the lacerna (military cloak) were some of the varieties that were used by the Romans.

Ancient Roman Clothing
Ancient Roman Clothing has always struck a particular chord with people throughout history wanting to re-live this or the other aspect of those ancient times. Dressing up in a toga has recurred over and over again from the times of Shakespeare’s plays through to the antics of Toga parties and Cinema productions such as Cleopatra, Ben Hur and The Gladiator.
