Greek Civilians

Greek civilian dress was typically the same as that worn under the cuirass during war. The Chiton was a simple tunic which was tied at the shoulders. This was made from woolen cloth or linen and could be richly dyed or embroidered. Women wore a long style of this, which would reach to the ankles or even the floor.

Over this was worn the himation. In essence this was a long linen or woolen sheet that was wrapped around the body in various ways. Again, this would be brightly dyed and patterned.

Amongst the Greek youth and aristocracy the Thessalian style of dress seemed to have become popular and was part of the wider trend to wear clothing that suggested simple living.
